Pow-wow dancing styles and meanings
Vložit
- čas přidán 20. 06. 2016
- Well before hip-hops fads like the dab and twerking were even a thing - pow-wow dancers have been rocking the beat for hundreds of years. Traditional men's pow-wow dancers are doing more than shaking their tail feather, they're telling a story through their movements and the regalia they wear. The story is usually of a hunt, a battle or a certain victory.

This is America !
Save our Native Tribes !
👍💪👏❤
Indeed and also our land, languages, and our cultures and yes I am proud of my native culture as well.
Thank u. And may creator bring. His blessings upon u and urs. Orienda ✌✌
Save us? We aren’t drowning bro
We were just sleeping, the giant is waking up
Very true and they still get treated horrible while Natives are the best people in this country which is much needed we need to learn from them grow with them as they have been thru hell and back and still have things taken from them namely this land we live on their land that needs to be understood by everyone else
Not sure why it was even necessary to mention The "Dab" and "Twerking" in this piece. The Dab is not even a dance style. Traditional cultural dances will always pre-date pop culture. That goes w/o saying.
I agree.
Yeah original means Aborigines of Olmce culture first nation mound builders sprent mound animals of mounds North America one's in forest, and in city prymead's🛌🛌🛌🛌⛰🐢⛰🐢⛰🐢⛰🏔🌎🐢✨🐦🗾⚽🎋🐢
Original mound builders are Aborigines ancestor's almond eye's round jaw bone and big ears of native indigenous aboriginal Olmce rubber people culture on helmet is 13 square on turtle shell for turtle island islanders not Indians they came over on ship's, and over bearing straights meet Aztecs true facts history is fascinating story tellers as well honor your ancestor's 🖒 music and lyrics inter tribal respect ✌for one another's people dream smoke of past Pangaea no border line's for indigenous peoples of turtle island yes history is fascinating story tellers as well honor your ancestor's music and lyrics inter tribal respect for one another's people dream smoke 👣👣👣👣walk in beauty🍃 dream 🕷catchers 🕷🕸
Not quite; My ancestors WERE the ones who crossed Berengia & bred w/the aboriginal Tallega here. But even our Aztec cousins spoke of a people that preceded even the Olmecs who were the true aborigines & pyramid-builders which can be traced back to Nimrod (Cushites) & back to Adam. WE DO NOT descend from Eber. The caucasian-neanderthal may though.
Also twerking is from africa
Man I love being native
The bird Talk of it I would be too if I was! Hugs and peace to you!
@@nmspy In what relevance is that information necessary given the context of the video? Not much really, don't degrade his or her cultural pride. Because many of those poor native American were physically striped from it.
@@joecumberdale4831 thank u. From a passamaquaddy , blackfoot. New England woman orienda. ✌💃the name on site is not even close to my real name. Blessings lil feather.
StalliniumServingSovietSergeiStronker no it doesn’t life is good. You can’t judge someone off of the percentages and not all natives live on a rez. My grandpa is 100 percent native and he doesn’t live on a rez.
StalliniumServingSovietSergeiStronker you are kind of a fucktard
Not hundreds of years
THOUSANDS of years
i am told hundreds of thousands.
i know a couple of songs i am told are at least ten thousand years old.
@@bovinicusdivinicus - Hmmmm...
@@SmashinAdams alright.. ill back off, and say at least tens of thousands at least.
is that better for ya?
@@SmashinAdams i am Lakota Blackfoot Ojibwe Mohawk(plus some euroepean blood).
i follow the common teachings of what ive learned thus far.
@@bovinicusdivinicus - I'm not knocking nothing you'd said, I'm just listening. I hear a lot of people be very matter-of-fact concerning how long. I'm Ecfinatcha Chahta & I can trace our people back to Adam. Literally.
I just love the colors they use for their outfits
its regalia

So beautiful to see the TRUE Americans of this nation display their unique culture and euphoric dances. Long live the Native Americans!
Hijab Hound greetings you said it like it is the Real American ppl.
True😕😴
Thanks😊
Lots of Native Americans have European ancestry too. We are very mixed.
Violet Grubb I agree
Greetings to all the Native brothers from the North to Central and South of the Americas.
I'm currently learning Lakota, not just the laguage but the culture and is the most fascinating thing ever! My class is going to a pow wow in March where all the tribes in the area mean and dance and I'm so excited! Im not Native but I grew up around friends of my mom who were so I feel kinda connected to the culture and maybe thats why I love it so much!
Phantom Bermuda
Are you Lakota?
Just be respectful and know your boundaries, and don't speak over native people. :)
@@alexandrahenderson4368 I am not, its silly to say i feel connected, but its more like I just have an eminence amount for respect and love for the culture. I don't act like a Native or go out of my way to be one because i know im not, but still!
@@phantombermuda1990 that's dope. I do that with mandarin chinese I like the culture too but the communism is not my style
@@phantombermuda1990 what's your ethnicity
As a Canadian (White) I am very proud of my First Nation brothers and sisters! You do us proud, as well as represent the best of your heritage despite a fragmented history! Never loose the spirit within you, and please speak bravely and compassionately for those within humanity that have lost their way on this great earthly plain! Much respect and love!
We are not your "brothers and sisters"
Virtuitous Vampire don't pretend your are good White person. U all fuckin rasicit. U guys hate all dark skin. But don't worry same feelings as Black, Middle East , Indian native. As u guys hating us we hate white ppl. Too
jacob george this attitude is not helping our children or their future as native American's
5foot two, that guy is stupid.
no importa Que seas de primera nacion you languages this small for brothers and sisters you think you why too much.im from Sonora Mexico soy warijio no speak same you ignoring
I miss going to powwows and watching all the vibrancy while admiring the dance moves and regalia. The music sends shivers up my spine
I am not a native but I fell in love with their culture because of how they sing and dance😍💖 I respect them and their culture💖💖 sometimes I actually try and dance like them but I just don't know how to move my feet.
Only dance them if you know what they mean. Each dance is a prayer so do them with their intent
Oh stop it Alexandra!! DAMN you can get out there and JUST HAVE FUN doing it!! Sacred dance to you. Fun for us, DEAL WITH IT.
@@ambriadaniels-dovolis7496 Hi, Native American here, Mohawk Tribe. don't listen to that random person. feel free to join us and dance however you want. i sure as hell didn't know what any of the dances i learned were about for a long time. let the drum move you and dance how you please.
You don't have to be an exact dancer...just enter the circle with good intentions. But if you want to try to be then look at CZcams dances and try them privately in you're home first. The Dine' (the people) don't ever judge you for trying as long as you have intentions in a good way and not to disrespect .it's ok to get the steps wrong in that good way. You want to learn? Join the circle!! ❤❤
...just FYI the "men's fancy feather" is men's fancy war dance and originated from the ponca tribe
There were so many Tribes how do you know which Tribe?
All Cheerokee Indian men did a tribe dance after hunting for a feast for the beautiful Cheerokee Indian women who loved their bravery!
Wanda Sewell I was a dancer and singer and we're taught about the dances and where they ordinate from. We're taught all of this and our traditions from a very early age.
Brittany Taylor + very true! Rock on honey!
@@wandasewell7604 i bet you think every native you meet is cherokee
gee
😂
I have a Sioux friend ,he introduced me to his cultures and roots,this is so beautiful and colorful, I'd love to dance to the beats of the drums,I love native Americans,much love from Philippines 😊💕
I was a cashier when I was a teen. My brother was dating a lovely Mohawk woman so for a drama I studied Native Culture. So this Elder comes through my cash one day and I notice she is wearing a medicine pouch. So i asked her if that's what it was and she had the biggest most inviting smile I have ever seen 20 years later. She said yes and please come to our Pow Wow this weekend and me being shy said no I couldn't. 20 years later I still regret that. What an honour to be invited and it meant so much to her, you could tell. Stupid kid :(.
Not stupid just naive. Great spirit bless you
I went to my first pow wow as a photographer several years ago because a native friend asked me to come take photos of her dancing in the jingle dress she had made. As a photographer, the vibrant colors and contrast were amazing. And the music! Love the music! Fast forward a few years and my fiancé is part Nakota.
all native american women are beautiful inside and outside not outside and inside it is the beauty within that is their soul and spirit
Kimberly Potts and the men
Thanks so much. Good to learn a bit more about the different styles of dancing and what they represent. Never grow tired of the drumming, singing and dancing. Such a gift that we are able to “be there” through the internet.
Native American culture seems so beautiful. All the moves and the dress have their own meaning. All in all this culture overwhelmed me! 🌍
Much Love & Respect to all my Earth Brothers & Sisters🥰❤️🙏🏽🌎🌈⛰☀️🤙🏽❤️
Culture music, dance gives me goose bumbs no matter what you speak while you dance your music as long as its from the heart of your culture it always works on me no matter what country, co sidering mine is dying, please keep ur cultures as it is a wonderful gift to be bestowed on the next generations to come
when i see pow wow and hear the singing i think its beautiful and unique, you dont see or hear anything like it anywhere. and its ours. cool
Greetings from an ex Sudbury boy. I used to go to these when I lived in the "Nickel Belt". I really miss those days and my Ojibwa friends.
Thank you so much for this video! Its fascinating and so beautiful. The part about the shells and the tobacco cans broke my heart x
I had the Great honour to be invited and play the Drum, it was amazing!!!
Very interesting. I personally find it very fascinating to know things like this. Thank for sharing.

I'm a Mexican Native and as much as I love my roots, I have to love Natives from the north. I particularly love their dances and songs. I learned a few songs (I know a northern Native girl) and I learned a few dance moves. I wish to dance their dances tho...
@@songbirdxxx5274 I'm not Latin. Please don't call me that. Spanish is to us as English is to northern natives. Latin refers to Rome.
@@songbirdxxx5274 Nahuah culture?
@@songbirdxxx5274 That's not how it works... The lack of respect you show is surprising coming from another native.
@@songbirdxxx5274 To natives from México, Central and Southern America, Spanish is the settler language, but we have our own languages. To northern natives (US and Canada), English is the settler language and they also have their own languages.
You complimented Mexican culture, which is highly varied in itself and hispanocentric depending on what you mean. Your comment glorified "Latina culture," (it's not even a thing. It's like saying Argentinian and Mexican culture are the same thing) which basically reinforces the eurocentric way of thinking also imposed on all non-white people.
When I asked if you meant my indigenous culture, you basically brushed it off and moved it within the "Latin" group--treating it like it's the same thing as every other culture south of the US as well as erasing our uniqueness.
The glorification of Eurocentric ideas and cultures is what offended me especially coming from a native.
@@Xilotl yeah you'll get a lot of hate from the north because they don't think natives exist in the south anymore. Despite mexico being 80% native American and mestizo.
Powwow to me is those that walk among the spirits of the future an the pass. We learn an pass it on to the next generation. Keeping in soul contact with our culture an ancestors.
I may not be able to dace but my feet dose . It brings me joy to see everyone happy . And looking their best .
Fantastic! I think what the Indians do is the common cultural heritage of humankind. I wish you many more successes and wish you happiness and freedom to the First Nations of America! Greetings from Middle-Europe, Hungary!
Proud of our Heritage 🪶thank you for sharing your gift for educating others 🪶may the great spirit and mother earth continue to bless you and all natives 🦅🪶🦅🪶
I lived in Elliot Lake for 16 summers and miss the Pow Wows so much. Thank you for sharing
You forgot the "Horse Tail Dancers" This is a Northern Mens Traditional style (although almost non-existent nowadays) it is a legitimate style for Northern Mens Traditional and is often times danced by veterans (as this was originally a warriors dance style for Plains Indians). Other than that pretty good video.
IcallyourBS he forgot many other styles of dancing too
This is in Canada so it may be just what is common in that area...I think you still call them Mohawk and Ojibwa and nations in Ontario.
IcallyourBS that’s not a traditional powwow dance style, that’s a tribal dance. They vary from tribe to tribe and there’s different tribes who do Horse dances so it may differ
V AD those aren’t traditional powwow dances though
Tail dance ?
"Some fools dance and some fools watch, if both are fools, you might as well dance!" So goes the dancing call of the Awa Odori.
Finally a video with at least some explanation. I can't find one on how the dancers feel or experience while they dance.
It all stops too soon. I could watch forever! Thank you.
Thank you for the information on the different dance styles ❣️ BEAUTIFUL ❣️
Hi there? Hope you're good and staying safe?
Beautiful video 🔥
It would be great to see a longer one. These dances and their connected history are fascinating & important to all of us.
Thanks so much -
Peace & light
Due to the pandemic I'm missed out on my Powwows. I love to be around them listen to them watched Them it makes me feel good. Not feeling too good this year I need my healing powwows. I'm native Indian And proud of it
I just read Powwow dancers have been rocking the earth for hundreds of years. My guess is: ten thousands of years.
utubix tubejux I'm native mine is grass dance
Maria Santa 😂😂😂
utubix tubejux why is there white people dancing with them
They are probably half or have some native in them. I'm guessing you don't know that most natives on the east coast are fairly light skinned. So are natives from Montana and mid-northern California tribes.
+Maria Santa well shit ok then 😂
I hope these dances continue on for another century or more. Fabulous.
Hello how are you doing ?
Proud to be a native❗
Hello how are you doing ?
Well I'm a half breed. I'm French on my dad side. Native on my mom's side. I'm Abenakis. My family still lives on the reserve ,in Odanak. I love everyone
Half breed sounds kinda mean... It reminds me of the slur in the UK half cast against half black half white children. You're Metis
Wow this is great to know. Thanks for sharing
Beautiful
Precioso!!!
Tendrían k viajar por todo el mundo para explicar su cultura ❤️❤️❤️

Hello how are you doing!
Twerking came from Africa, the first people on this planet dance was done before any dance from any of our tribes (across the globe) kept it throughout all of Africa's culture... I am indigenous to both Africa and America... Knowing my roots on both sides

The drumming is so cool! I thought it was just one person, but it’s a group beating at the same time. Awesome! 😸
I'm native and anytime I hear the drum my heartbeat goes along with it the drum beat is the hearbeat of mother earth, anyways I seen ur profile picture and I love the last airbender sokka mu favorite
taymar iron That’s really cool and I love it too! I’m a lot like Toph. 😼 Melonlord Wolfcat! 🐺🦁
I DO cry for joy when i see the little one.
The first two captions had me immediately invested in the video lmao
This was cool. Always learns new things.
Greetings to you, My Indian Brothers! The heart is a very common symbol here too! HUN!
It's Native. Indian is a white man's word
I love the explanations still learning about my heritage ❤️
Hi there? Hope you're good and staying safe?
BEAUTIFUL! 👏❤
Many aren't shown or listed. Like grass,Prarie chicken,snoke,tomahawk, to name a few... for both men and women. But what you do list is so appreciated A'ho. With "open" pow wow the Dine' should be given all lesson in dance and why it is important
Здорово, из этих видео можно узнать о культуре индейцев, благодарю!
I am just a Mexican ... and I really want to go to see a pow-wow. I will check some near my college campus.
Thank you for all your wonderful performances - we have been ignorant about - the costumes, the colors, the connections with the earth. I notice your dance is similar to the current Chinese dances - the same dna. Great to watch and learn about all the different nations - RICH and BEAUTIFUL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was beautiful
Fantastic
Awesome to see culture thriving.
Wonderful! Respect.
I wanna learn!
Nice looks like big eagles dancing
Love this you tube video
I’m Native American Cree from Canada
This is amazing and beautiful. 💜💙❤💜💙❤🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Amo y respeto la cultura ancestral,que el gran espíritu los proteja x siempre hermanos!
I've always enjoyed photos and stories of 'Inidans' + their history of the past + photos. Many stories varied concerning that generation of American natives of the past. Most photos and stories + movie's of their pretended presence are always fascinating to me, even tho' most were not 'nice ones'.
Magical
Awesome! What a beautiful culture! I'm proud of my tiny bit of Native DNA.
I like this culture more. I've been interested it for years now. It's so interesting.
Hi there? Hope you're good and staying safe?
Respectfully, Twerking has also been around as well though, It’s actually an African indigenous dance. Love for indigenous peoples all over the world, that’s the beauty way.
Hello how are you doing ?
Thank you
Keep our culture n keep it that strong for the next generation to come
This is absolutely beautiful. I would ask however if you could include which tribes traditionally practice which dances?
Being native is amazing😆

This is cool not many vids out to share or explain the dance styles you forgot other like the hoop dance the crown danc and buffalo dance theres more aswell
I got an offer to play the drum at a cree Sundance next year..it was a blessing to get that kinda offer ..I love pows wows I love Sundances..I love the sweatlodges I love r whole culture..hiy hiy
