Takeing Photo's at Pow Wow's!
This is something I can not say enough about taking Pictures at a Pow Wow. Do not take photo's at random. Either still photo's or video. At some larger Pow Wow's it's required that you register your camera, and they will put a number on it. The announcer will tell the audience when pictures are permitted. Always pay attention. If you should see a particular dance you would like photo's of, be sure to ask permission of the announcer. If you are told no, then don't do it. Some dances are held sacred, and are never to have photo's taken of the dance. If you see a dancer you think is especially striking, ask if you may take a photo after the dancer leaves the circle. It would be a nice courtesy of you to take the dancer's name and address and send them a copy of the photo. The giving of Human kindness and consideration are always long remembered, and very deeply appreciated.
Be wise, and always be cautious - Ask First!
Look, learn and enjoy the Pow Wow!

Dale~That is really important for all of us to be aware of and to respect other cultures. What is that picture of though? I've been staring at it trying to figure it out.
Dale--When I was in college in Southwestern Minnesota we would go to a local Native American pow wow in the summer. The dancing was amazing! Good to know the ediquette as with so many camera photos it would be easy for an attendee to unknowingly offend someone.
Growing up in New Mexico, part of our Jr. High curriculum included NM History, with an entire quarter spent on the numerous Nations included in the state. We were very fortunate to have Mr. Fiedler as our teacher: he lived, ate and slept New Mexico History! One thing he drummed into our heads was to respect the wishes of the different tribes, and that asking permission was much better to ask forgiveness. Etiquette is respect spelled a different way--thanks for sharing this with us, Dale.
