  Tips for Attending:

  • Listen to the Master of Ceremonies – they’ll explain what’s happening to help visitors.
  • Ask permission before taking pictures.
  • Want to get in on the dancing? Listen for the Intertribal dances - these are for all people present to partake in the dance.
  • Don’t touch people’s regalia without permission. They are not costumes and hold special meaning to dancers.
  • Support the vendors. Some vendors may have interact or etransfer options, but please make sure you have cash on hand as well.
  • Outdoor settings are sometimes uneven so watch your footing.
  • Sometimes bleachers are available for people, but it never hurts to bring a chair with you.
  • Seats closest to the dancing circle are reserved for singers, dancers, and drummers.
  • Respect that some sections set aside for those with mobility issues to sit with mobile chairs or walkers.
  • Leave pets at home. Accredited service animals we welcomed.
  • Don’t bring alcohol or drugs.
  • Have fun!
