A couple of Grand Entrance shots from Friday's Rocky Boy's Agency Powwow in Montana. This powwow is gigantic compared to the ones I'm accustom to in Nevada! Saturday is the big competition day!
A color portrait photo of a Native-American dancer in regalia. We see her from the waist up. She wears a dark long sleeve dress and has multiple vest like decorations and intricately beaded necklaces. Her black hair is tightly bound back. Two eagle features stick up from behind her head. There is a orange sunset in the background.
A color portrait photo of a female Native-American dancer in regalia. She faces toward the left and is looking down but her head is wreck. She wears a gay colored long sleeve dress. We see her beaded belt with alternating diagonal dark and gray stripes. Her hair is tightly bound and she wears a blue wrapping with shells on the ends over her braids. Dangling from the shells are buckskin fringe. She has three eagle feathers sticking out of the back of her head and a large white feature tuff on top of her head.
A color portrait photo of a Native-American dance in powwow regalia. He is in profile facing left. He is hunched forward with his head tipped back. He has four long black braids hanging over his shoulders. His regalia is multicolored but predominantly a green-yellow. He has a porcupine headdress with two long wires holding large white tuffs of feathers high above his head. He wears a multicolored beaded headband and bead dangles in front of his eyes.
