Misconception #7: Every hoop dancer has the same beliefs and/or is from the same tribe

Hoop dancers are from various tribes and have different belief systems.

Hoop dancers come from tribes all over North America.  In addition to their traditional beliefs, dancers have modern influences. 

Native American hoop dancers even vary in the way they see their hoops and their dances.  Some might think of hoops as sacred.  Others might see them as dancing accessories.  Likewise, some might encourage photography and video recording.  Others might request that no records are made of them.
