I was at Ohkay Owingeh this past June for the feast day and felt so fortunate to be able to see the dances, most memorably the Buffalo dance. The history of the Pueblo people and Spanish colonialism was not taught to me in school. I appreciated the opportunity to learn more about this history. When I was there, I saw that there were some people that were having trouble being respectful of the dances, not intentionally but just out of not knowing what to do. Would you mind going over how a visitor to the Pueblo can be respectful during dances? What are the photography customs?
