Which reminds me of when I went to a pow-wow in Canada a few years ago: During the initial big dance they did they first asked that no-one take any photos during the cermony. I asked myself when THAT rule started, as there wasn't photography way back in the day. Did they ban the tribe artist from quickly sketching the ceremony on a tipi as it happened? :-)
