DescriptionThree Native dancers stand on a rock formation in ceremonial dress at the Inter-Tribal Ceremony in Gallup, New Mexico. Two women and one man look toward the left of the camera. The women have their legs wrapped in white cloth and wear patterned skirts with long-sleeved blouses. Each hold a couple of large feathers in each hand. The man stands between them and wears tall, brown moccasins, a white kilt with a red sash, and his bare chest is painted in red, white, and blue designs. All three dancers wear large feathered headdresses.
