Powwow etiquette: All powwow festivals are alcohol and drug free. Please don’t take pictures or use audio or video recording devices during the flag, prayer or honor songs, and when an individual is honoring a drum through whistle. Guests are asked to stand and remove their hats for certain songs, unless you have an eagle feather in it. It is traditional to show respect to visiting chiefs and elders by deferring to them at virtually all times. Do not crowd around the drummers. Always ask for permission before making recordings or taking pictures of the dancers in their regalia. Children are welcome to enjoy the event but cannot play in the sacred circle. Participants are asked to respect the arena director, head dance man and woman head dancer. If you are unsure who these individuals are, please ask. Follow the master of ceremonies statements during the powwow. For more information please visit www.powwows.com.
