I've read that photographs aren't allowed to be taken at Sun Dances, which is backed up by the lack of photographs on the article. If someone can confirm this as true, could you please add that piece of information to the article?

It's true, but I only know that from having gone to the ceremonies. So. :\ Also, the main illustration here isn't even close to a sundance.

If it really is true that photographs are not permitted at Sun Dances, then I do not understand why I've seen so many of them being published in books? Or that I've even been able to see it on television? From what I'm hearing now I just take it that some Native Americans will prohibit it and others will have no problem with this. There at least is plenty of visual documentation of Sun Dances and the sweat lodge ceronomies that preceed it.
