Production notes

This series consisted of fables taken from Native American folklore.

Initially, the series aired from January 30 to March 13, 1949 on New York's WNBT-TV as a very limited-animation 15-minute Sunday morning program.

In 1956, the cartoon was revived as a series of 39 five-minute black and white films airing on "Captain Kangaroo" on CBS. At the same time, Screen Gems Inc. syndicated the cartoon to 11 Western states which did not broadcast "Captain Kangaroo" at that time.

In early 1958, "The Adventures of Pow Wow" no longer appeared on "Captain Kangaroo"; starting that May, it was syndicated for use on local children's shows. Shorts were broadcast Saturday mornings on New York's WRCA-TV (later WNBC-TV) as part of Ray Forrest's Children's Theater"; in Chicago, they were shown on WGN-TV's "Garfield Goose and Friends."

Tele-Features took over syndication of the cartoon in 1960.
