[Leica] Photojournalists and permission now on an Indian reservation

[SonC at aol.com (SonC@aol.com)]

I've photographed the Caddo Adaes several times, and they always seemed  
happy for me to do it.  Some of my shots have ended up in National Parks  
Services 
Publications for pay AND credit.

the  performance I spoke of was NOT on 
tribal lands...  and while it was  open 
to the public, and off the reservation, 
it likely  was someone's "private 
property".

And yes...if tribal land were to  be 
involved,  tribal laws rule....
