Misconception #9: All Native American Hoop Dancers know each other

All Native American hoop dancers do not know each other.

Native American hoop dancers live throughout North America.  A few even live elsewhere.  There is no registry of hoop dancers or an organization where we all belong to.  Not many events invite more than one hoop dancer.  A hoop dancer from Northern Canada is unlikely to come across a hoop dancer in the Southwest United States, over two thousand miles away.

So, just because you meet one hoop dancer, it does not mean he/she knows about another specific hoop dancer.
