This is a young dancer participating in the Natchez Pow-wow ant the Grand Village of the Natchez Indians. The costumes are wonderful and the dancing interesting to watch. This is a pretty big thing in Natchez every year and I look forward to seeing this year as well.
Full view for detail.
Update: I've made a compilation of some of the video I have taken at the Pow-wow in 2007 and 2008. I've posted it on YouTube. Here's the link:

I was surprised to see that some seem white..but maybe they have indian ancesters.
That would be wonderful to see something like that when/if I ever visit america again...
Glad you liked it. I was lucky to capture this guy dancing with the feathers spread out just right.
I wish I could lose the people in the background, though. Maybe I'll do a Photoshop manip on this and stick this guy in a more appropriate setting.
They have a big one in Minnesota every summer it has probably between 20 and 30 drums hundreds of vendors its awesome but I haven't been to on in 3 or 4 years.
I've never gone to a pow wow. Someday I'll get to see one in person. Enjoy enough for the both of us

Thanks so much for sharing the link
I enjoyed watching it. I noticed some of the dancers were not native american... made me smile
I love native american music! One of my most favorite CD's is called Canyon Drums. I have about 20 in my collection and its by far the "best of the best"!
