Based on Indian folklore, the fables included 'How the Fox Got His White-Tipped Tale', 'Pow Wow and the Stork', 'How the Rabbit Got His Hop', 'Pow Wow and Playing Possum', and 'How the Turtle Got His Shell'. The series left Captain Kangaroo's show in early 1958 and was syndicated beginning in May, 1958 as filler for local kid shows. In New York the later shorts were aired Saturday mornings on WRCA-TV (later WNBC-TV) as part of Ray Forrest's Children's Theater (which also aired the original Jay Ward-Alex Anderson Crusader Rabbit cartoons). In Chicago they appeared on WGN-TV's Garfield Goose and Friends. Tele-Features, the company which distributed Sam Singer's Courageous Cat™ and Minute Mouse cartoons, took over syndication of The Adventures of Pow Wow in 1960.

THE ADVENTURES OF POW WOW, The Indian Boy

'Pow Wow, the Indian boy, loved all the animals and the woods;

Pow Wow, the Indian boy, loved all the animals and the woods;

Pow Wow was a friend of all the animals in the woods,

If there was any trouble he would help them if he could;

If Pow Wow couldn't help them he would go to the Medicine Man,

And he would tell them stories just how it all began, all began, all began.'
