Nice shots, I am always worried about taking pictures of Native People here. I go to 2 Pow-Wows a year one on a Six Nations Reserve near Brantford Ontario and the other is the indoor one in Toronto and I always seem to not manage to take a close-up picture.

@Rene: Thank you for your comments, I found the people in this competition very friendly and didn't mind taking photos at all.

Yes, I can feel his strong aura and I admire how proud he is.

@Manuela Photography: Thank you very much!

Sidonie from Sydney, Australia

Nice crop - gives a frame which concentrates the details - how wrong did Hollywood get it (my main source of images growing up, alas)?. Such a great series, Dawn.

Wonderful Portrai Dawn, definitely you can sense his strong spirit in this one, you really captured that in this photo, his facial expression, the aging lines, nicely done and framed!
