Protocols are rules or procedures used to regulate specific occasions. Events like round dances, pipe ceremonies, and sunrise ceremonies all have their own cultural protocols. Maintaining them is very important to us. Knowing and understanding these protocols is essential in order to participate in a respectful way.
