Description
Old customs gave women a special role within the Pow-wow: the women would dance in one spot, stationary at the outer edge of the circle, holding an eagle fan, an expression of their beauty and grace.
The Jingle dress dance; an Ojibwe dance form, it is also a healing ceremony. The dance has since grown into one of the most popular intertribal dance styles at Pow-wows.
Traditional dances: good dancers glide in all directions, on different feet, something with both feet together. As they bounce, the long dresses and fringes sway rhythmically.
