I was trying to get used to my new camera so I managed to get some shots of the dancers entering the arena. This was on March 5, 2022 at the Apache Gold Casino Pavilion in San Carlos, Arizona
My grandmother is full blooded Apache from San Carlos. She took me numerous times for weeks at a time to the rez as a child, tons of powwows and ceremonies. I am very grateful she introduced me to our heritage at a young age. Memories that will live with me forever!
Thank you for sharing this. I have always wanted to see it with my own two eyes, to be there. You all are so powerful. Our people are proud and strong. A"HO
11:20 dancer stops, thinking the feather on the floor was an eagle feather. When an eagle feather falls on the ground then the dance must be stopped and the ceremony performed to cleanse the eagle feather.
