Aww that’s me!! 🥰🥰😭

There's no way to actually trace the origins of this dance to one nation, for example the poundmaker cree nation claims they were the first to introduce this dance style, along with many other nations. As women in the past were often not allowed in the dance circle at all, it's speculated that it's origins are from a much more general act of dancing in place outside the circle, which likely happened in many nations across Turtle Island

like my comment if you think this video is awesome

I could be wrong, but I seem to remember hearing that the purpose of the women's northern traditional dance isn't the dance, but showing the regalia. The woman moves in one place basically to show how the regalia moves. There are other dances ( like shawl and jingle) that rely on the dance more.

I find it disrespectful you say only in Christ, may god be with us all and tolerance spread 🙏🏽

Who cares? Our cultures change and evolve. Powwow brings our people together and helps us hold onto what we have left. If you don't like it, don't go. One more space for someone who wants to be there instead of crying around.
