Pow Wow Feathers

Thursday, January 7, 2010

I enjoy going to Native American Pow Wows.  The excitement, the rhythm of the drums and the regalia, the spectacular regalia.  Feathers, beads, frings and jingle bells.  The creativity in the design of each dancer's outfit is amazing.  And a photographer's delight.

Pow Wow Regalia

Friday, December 11, 2009

Native America Pow Wows are a spectacular event.  The music and the spectacular outfits, known as regalia, are phenominal.  Each tribe or band has their own unique style.  In addition, the different dances require different style garments.  But they are all referred to as regalia.  Feathers, beads, jingle bells and fringe are just part of what it takes to create the beautiful designs, many worth thousands of dollars.
