Don Two Crow
Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe - Lakota

The regalia on some of these warriors is awsome. Regalia such as this is usualy only worn for special ceremonies and may be purified just before a traditional dance. If it is then touched by a stranger the purity is compromised. Clothing or regalia differs greatly from one tribe to another. The Pow Wow in Wells is intertribal so you will see styles of dress from various traditions.
