 the PowWow is used by families and tribes to celebrate many things,mainly creativity and activity. This particular event was also a competition for best dancers

but they all start the same way: a line up which is led by the elders and the veterans, then the men, the women, and then girls and tots

This is a very busy photo, but that is what makes it interesting, to observe all the little details of the faces and costumes.
You captured the tradition nicely with this one. There is a lot of life here.

Another photo that "drums" up wonderful memories. The colors and the expressions are so true to these people and you can see the pride in their heritage! Especially in the face of the older gentleman in the dead center. This epitomizes the beauty of these people and a part of life many have never seen! STUNNING! (Make sure you hit the Sun Dance!!)

The colors are so vibrant! I like the bit of motion blur and the boarder along the horizontal edges.

These are amazing Anne. I'd like to see more of your shots at the pow wow. The ornate traditional dress is something missing from Australian culture. These are really vibrant. Nice shots.
