Indian Dancers, 1959

You might think that you've seen today's photos before; au contraire, mon frère! As fun as the Indian Dance Circle was (and it certainly made a popular photo subject), all of the photos tend to look more or less the same. 

These would be a lot more interesting if I knew anything about Native American dances. But... I am a dope, so you will just have to use your imagination. The audience sure seems fascinated!

I am willing to bet $1000.00 of GDB reader TokyoMagic's money and speculate that this guy is doing a "hoop dance". Call it a hunch. Notice the mysterious men in white up on the berm - maintenance staff? Animatronics that have gone haywire?

This one is my favorite, because I have deemed it to be "postcard worthy". Plus the eagle costume is very cool. Cultural and sociological changes made the Dance Circle a thing of the past, but it is a classic piece of Frontierland history.
