How can I find Native Americans; Navajos, Zunis, and Hopis that would enjoy posing for my Mamiya RZ67 Pro II for wages? I would sell the resulting slides and FB silver prints after they signed a release.

Well not to be a smart *** but shouldn't you be doing this work on your own? I mean u want someone here to do your leg work and you make the profit? kinda lame if u ask me. I think if u do a search on Native American tribes then go talk to them or go to a Native American gathering and pass out your business card and c if u have any takers

I'm sure you're going to have a difficult time finding Native Americans who will do this, at least the most traditional ones. They are highly suspect of photography and don't willingly sit for pictures.

If what you want is to take original shots, then you should travel quite a lot!
Also, don't make people "pose for you" : pictures are much much better if they are "natural" i.e. if subjects don't even know that you are photographing them. Try with a hidden camera !

Try contacting organizations that serve the natives. Here's a list of them: http://www.nativeculturelinks.com/organizations.html
Good luck with your search.
