The Circle is a sacred place, like a church, for Native Americans. It was blessed early this morning before our event started. This area is reserved for the Powwow dancers and their families. DO show respect for elders.
Old people are very important in Native American society and are given great respect.
DO offer elders your seat if they need it or offer to get them a snack or beverage. Many of them are very old, handed down through the generations. Most of them are handmade and very special to the wearer. It is considered very rude to handle someone's regalia. DO listen to the Master of Ceremonies.
