Some Powwow Etiquette & Tips

Do not talk while an elder is speaking on the address system.

Dress properly-nothing too revealing for the ladies.

Leave the chairs around the dance area alone. They are for the dancers--bring your own.

Do not touch the dancers or their regalia.

Ask before you take a photo—it's just polite and dancers may have religious reasons for avoiding photos. Never enter the dance arena for a photo.

Listen to the MC. He will tell you when to take your hats and caps off during traditional dances.

When a blanket dance is announced, be prepared to donate a few dollars when the blanket passes you. The money will be donated to the person or drum group being honored.

Ask people around you to explain things you don't understand-most will be eager to share their knowledge with you.

Darcy thank you so much! Their regalia is so beautiful and I can not wait to make it to the next one in my area. I am really very appreciative of you sharing this with us.

Thanks for sharing :). I only find ones in the US on the web sites; are there any in Canada?
