Royalty participants and their parent or sponsor must attend all required
events (powwows, parades, fundraisers, organizational meetings and others).
Absences can be prearranged with the Royalty Coordinator. Three unexcused
absences will result in disqualification from Royalty. Royalty participants are
expected to stay for the duration of the events. This includes helping set up
for events, such as meetings and parades, as well as dancing during Grand
Entry, InterTribals and staying until the flags are retired unless pre-approved
with the Royalty Coordinator. Participants are expected to speak in front
of large groups of people. Royalty participants must be willing and able to
dance. Remember: You are all part of a team and are expected to treat
yourselves, running mates and others with respect at all times.
Participating in Royalty Court is an excellent opportunity for Tribal girls and
young women to learn our traditions and powwow protocol. Participants rep
resent the Tribe by attending powwows and various community events.

provide their regalia.
Serving on Royalty Court requires a considerable commitment from the
participant and her sponsor; travel, fundraisers, classes and meetings are
required for all competing participants.
