The 70th Annual Shinnecock pow wow was held over Labor Day weekend in Southampton, New York and is one of the largest Native American Gatherings on the East Coast. Folks from all over come and enjoy the sights, sounds and tasty treats that this pow wow has to offer.
Photographer Brooke Brady has attended the Shinnecock pow wow for many years now and it has quickly become one of her favorites to photograph. She highlights all aspects of the pow wow, not just the dancers, which is why I love her work. Let me know if you enjoy her photographs too!
Brooke also wanted to give a special shoutout to some of the vendors shown in the gallery above. If you see them at your next pow wow, stop by and say hello!
