powwow etiquette

Powwow etiquette involves showing respect for the cultural traditions and participants. Always approach with reverence, dress appropriately, and follow instructions from your hosts. During dances and ceremonies, remain quiet, attentive, and respectful, refraining from taking photos unless permitted. When observing, stand quietly and avoid walking or talking through sacred spaces. If invited to join a dance or activity, accept graciously and follow the lead of community members. Showing appreciation through respectful gestures and listening attentively demonstrates genuine respect for the cultural significance of the event.
