Switch Dance - Flying Dust First Nation 2012

Bert Crowfoot was at the Flying Duist First Nation September 2 and captured some great images of dancers celebrating their heritage and culture. One event he captured was the Switch Dance. Dancers dress and compete for prizes dressed in the regalia of their opposite gender. So you have men dancing  the women's categories and women dancing the men's categories. It's about lightening it up a bit, relaxing, having fun and laughing at ourselves...
