Most all, if not all of the male dancers are Vetrans from one war or another, past, present and future. They all are decendents Of the tribes they represent
This gentleman, before the dances began got down on one knee first to pray, then when finished, he got on both knees to kiss the ground. I watched as he did this, but not taking a photo in respect of his retual.
Many of the Indians, (mostly the ones not preforming, but selling theier wares) would not allow me to photograph them. Some tribes believe that that would "steal their spirit".
