English: A Native American tradition is the Pow Wow, which is a gathering of many tribes. Participants come from many places, some of them a thousand miles or more and the celebration can last for a week. The purpose of the Pow Wow is primarily a social gathering, but there are many booths selling crafts, jewelry, clothes, and food. A major feature most pow wows is the dancing. There are many different categories of dancing and many of the styles are competing for cash prizes. This photo is an inter-tribal dance, which includes all styles, ages and sexes of dancers. These large groups are usually part of the opening and closing ceremonies.
