Photos: Shinnecock Nation 69th Annual Powwow
The Shinnecock Indian Nation hosted tribes from throughout North America at the powwow grounds on the Southampton reservation over Labor Day Weekend, for the 69th year in a row.
The Shinnecock Powwow is considered one of the finest powwows in the country, and participants in more than two dozen dance competitions came from as far away as Hawaii and Mexico to visit with other tribes and compete, dressed in traditional regalia that they’ve spent countless hours tending to and caring for.

Spectacular photo shoot, Beth! The detail in all the regalia is breathtaking, and SO glad this tradition continues – great to see the photos, especially of the youngest generation participating – reminds me of when my grandparents brought me to my first Shinnecock powwow in 1968 when I was 13. Beautiful!
