I'm looking for photos from the Menominee pow-wow, there was an official looking photographer but no one seems to know who it was. If anyone has and info on how to get a hold of him or who he is please let me know.

I don't know who that guy was but, I know he kinda moved himself next to our drum, sat in one of our chairs, and kicked over my lemonade..

I'm not a guy so obviously not who you're looking for but I was there taking pics at the pow-wow this weekend. I wasn't there long so it's mostly the kids.

Here's the link to my set (if this is against site rules, let me know and I'll take it down - I don't post here much but was looking for the contest results):
