Just a tip: When coming through Zuni, please do not take pictures of the Kachinas. If you are caught taking any pictures of the kachinas. The police will confiscate your camera, memory card, or film.

In my experiance this is the way it is with most of the pueblos. I know many of them require to buy a permit to take pictures.

Yes. As far as I know, the rule is get permission before taking photos or risk some sort of penalty. If there is a visitors' office, go there. Otherwise go to the administrative office.

I think this developed because tourists use to walk over -- even into people's homes -- taking photos. You can understand that the people on the pueblos would get tired of this.

I believe many pueblos require a monetary donation before taking any photos. Someone correct me if Im wrong.

I can tell you for sure on a few: San Ildefonso, Santa Clara, Santa Ana, Zia, San Felipe require a permit. I have been out pretty deep on the Isleta pueblo a few times but I cannot remember anything on the photo permit.

The Santa Ana is the most private they only open up there land a couple times a year for the harvest fest.

All of the ones around here -- as far as I know -- do charge a fee for photos. However, I am near Santa Fe which in the past was a center for tourists who would take the train in and then auto tours to the pueblos.

Other pueblos may be different. Taos Pueblo charges you to enter. I don't know if photos are additional.

My rule for photos is:

1.) Do not take pictures of Native Americans without asking first, and expect an honorarium may be requested.

2.) Do not take pictures of their residences, same applies. Do not take pictures of occupied historical towns, same applies.

3.) I don't feel any obligation to ask permission to take pictures of historical settlements that are not occupied in the present day.

This applies to all Native American lands in the four corners states (AZ, CO, NM, UT). I'm willing to be corrected if others believe to the contrary.
