Description
Rising Upward...A fantastic display of "The Eagle Dance" at a Pow Wow shows the depth of the pride that the First Nations People have for their culture. Eagles appear to soar during this wonderful and powerful dance.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A pow wow (also powwow or pow-wow) is a social gathering held by many different Native American communities. The word derives from the Narragansett word powwaw, meaning "spiritual leader".[1] A similar gathering by California Native People usually in the fall is called a Big Time. A modern pow wow is a specific type of event for Native American/First Nations people to meet and dance, sing, socialize, and honor their cultures. Pow wows may be private or public. There is generally a dancing competition, often with significant prize money awarded. Pow wows vary in length from a one-day event, to major pow wows called for a special occasion which can be up to one week long.
In popular culture, such as older Western movies, the term has also been used by non-Natives to describe any gathering of Native Americans, or to refer to any type of meeting among non-Natives (such as military personnel). However, such use may be viewed as cultural appropriation, and disrespectful to Native peoples.[2]

Beautiful image Bob! I've always been intrigued with the Pow Wow and hope to schedule a trip to experience this occasion. Would you suggest Monument Valley? Congratulations on your wonderful, expansive images collections.
Bob Christopher replied:
Hi Rob...Most of my Pow Wow images are from Alberta and Saskatchewan here in Canada. I have been to a marvellous one in Gallup, NM as well. Oklahoma and Colorado have large gatherings as well. Oklahoma has the greatest number of reservations in The USA due to the history of the way the Indigenous were treated. Good luck with your quest and let me know when you get to attend and photograph there...Cheers Bob
