It's very common in Australia to ask people of Aboriginal descent to if it's okay to take their photograph, it has to do with certain beliefs that taking someones photograph equates to "stealing their soul". I believe there are some Native American tribes who hold similar beliefs. I've since refused all photographs that are forced. Posing for photo's, unless formal (weddings, business), seems silly to me. If you want to take a photo, take a photo of a moment. Not a hastily put together scene.
