Attend with an open mind and be willing to learn and share in the event, when invited to do so.
Be respectful of all powwow participants and their regalia. Don’t touch any part of their outfit or take photos, unless you ask for permission first. If a piece of a dancer’s regalia is dropped – leave it be. Let the dancer know and they will retrieve it on their own.
