One of the Princesses. And when I say Princess, I'm not talking Aristocracy. This was the Homecoming ceremony for the Comanche Nation. The Princesses were young women in the community elected to the office because of their service and contributions to the Tribe.

More of the Princesses. There were several different categories and levels

The Veteran's Dance

Dance Circle

One of the Northern Grass Dancers (if memory serves)



The Drum. Considered a living entity in it's own right.

An opening circle dance. You can see some of the Fancy Dancers. Look close, there's a little guy there, with white and rainbow costume. Fancy Dancers start early.

Close up of costumes.

Remember the little dude? Here he is, gearing up.
