INDIAN NATIONS EVENTS

The reservations have special social and cultural events and activities. Tribal powwows, hand games, shinny games and rodeos are social events usually open to the public. When visiting these events and public places such as museums, churches and tribal facilities, it is important that the guests show respect and courtesy.

Most cultural and religious ceremonies require special permission to attend or, in some cases, may not allow visitors at all. In some tribes a host family will extend a personal invitation to visitors and inform them of the correct protocol. All the tribes hold their religion and traditions in high regard. Sacred rites must not be defiled; artifacts are not to be removed or disturbed. There are places on all reservations where mementos can be purchased.

Powwows are social gatherings featuring generations-old drumming and dancing, and traditional dress and food. Visitors are welcome at powwows. Partici pants should bring lawn chairs or blankets, since seating is limited at most powwows. Guests may dance during the "Round Dance" (everyone dances in a circle) or when invited by the emcee. Visitors may also participate by invitation in a "Giveaway," a ceremony in which a family gives gifts to others to honor a deserving family member. It should always be kept in mind that the dance area is sacred. Flash photography is not allowed during contests, and it is polite to ask dancers and singers before taking pictures.

Cultural and recreational activities may also be enjoyed outside of community events. However, visitors should be aware of tribal management practices that exist to protect the environment and wildlife. Tribal offices must be contacted for regulations concerning access and recreation.
