If you see a dancer who is especially striking, ask if you may take a picture after he leaves the arena. It would be a courtesy to take his name and address and send him a print of the photo. It takes years to collect the items until the regalia is complete, and this involves no small expense. Do not ever touch a dancer's regalia without permission. Honor it, and the person wearing it.
Natives come in all sizes, shapes and colors.
Look, learn, and enjoy. All dancers enter the arena from the East as the place on the Medicine Wheel of new beginnings, of new birth and re-birth, and of awakenings. The Grand Entry is no exception. Everyone will be asked to stand during the Grand Entry and men are asked to remove any head gear unless it carries and eagle feather. Leading the Grand Entry is the Eagle Staff, followed by the American Flag, the POW-MIA Flag, and the Tribal Flag of the Pow Wow host.
