Hello I absolutely love this video and appreciate the time you took to post it so everyone can enjoy and appreciate dancing....I am Utah Paiute not living in Utah it's a line that comes from my mother's father's side .... doesn't give me a whole lot blood percentage wise and I have no one to else where I live that is Paiute ....in my heart I am 100 percent fully!! But is it wrong for me to be proud of that and totally identify myself as native American....I should mention I am not registered and I do not get benefits so no nothing like that is why I claim my little amount of native American heritage I just purely connect with it in my soul no matter what the blood quantum says but is that wrong of me?

Teach my daughter!! Beautiful dance.

Ay this was so helpful !! I used to be a dancer when I was younger but I slowly grew away from powwow and dancing 😢 I forgot most of the steps 😭

Thank you for this! I loved watching you, you are so much fun!

Hello! My name is FraShaylyn kee, and I am 16 years old. When i was 4 years old, I had a best friend. She was a jingle dancer, and her mom was very close friends with my mom. When my childhood best friend taught me Jingle dance, I got into it real quick. My best friend didn't teach me or anything. I just got the hang of it, and i looked at her feet. Then, I showed my mom. My mom was impressed, and she told my best friens mom to see if she could make my jingle dress handmade. So that's when i got a customed dress made for me. So, I started jingle dancing. However, when i was barely starting, I was a tiny tots dancer. Tiny tots is a dance that 6 made for younger children below the age of 6. I started there, and then I made my way up to jingle dancing. I was 4 when i first did tiny tots. At the age of 6, I did jingle dancing. Unfortunately, i stopped doing it because I moved. I used to live in crownpoint, but I currently live in Albuquerque. Nkw that we have lived here for god knows when, I forgot about jingle dancing. Me and my mom would go powwow dancing every now and then. Now.. my older brother, grandma, grandpa, auntie, passed and I am so hurt. They were into jingle dancing but never got to do it because they were an elder. So now, i wanna do it to heal and to move on with their dream. I hope everyone also has a reason and purpose for powwow dancing. I hope everyone has an amazing day or night! Wherever you're coming from!

Fred Astaire she ain't.

Who is U-haul , you renting trailers or something ?

I dont see the pattern for purchase.

I learned how to powwow dance from your videos and I am still learning, but I am doing a lot better than I was when I first started. I love to learn about indigenous people. And I have a lot of respect for you and all the indigenous people out there.❤😊

This helped because I had a powwow and this is what we did thank I’ll keep practicing and watching you

How many inches is that hula hoop?

Hello. Im Melody. I’m 11 years old and in 7th grade. My Grandma’s Mother survived the residential school, and so did my Grandpa’s Father. My Grandpa was out in a foster home with his Brother who we call Uncle Stretch because of how Skinny and Tall he was. 2 Years ago, My Grandpa’s Brother and His Dad Died. My Grandma’s Mother died before I was born. I am Woodlands Cree, My Great-Grandpa spoke Cree fluently. My Grandpa, not so much. I wish I learnt it, I only know Numbers and a few things. Today, November 16th, 2024, Is a Round Dance. My Grandma spent 6 days Sewing Shirts & Skirts. She tried doing what her Mother taught her. I have also been trying to learn how to Powwow dance Fancy Shawl. Thank you for this video, Even tho I am 4 years late, I Still want to thank you.

What kind of sewing machine do you use?❤

Hi. I am a teacher and we are reading Powwow Day by Traci Sorell next and I am wondering if it would be appropriate for my students to watch your video and try these steps along with you?

I haven't been to a wachipi for many, many years. I was married to two different Oglala-Mniconjou women, but years ago. My first wife, Tiny Butterfly, danced fancy shawl, and she sure lived up to her name, really looking like a kimimela when she danced (I'm from Moose Jaw, SK, she lived in Regina SK, but was originally from Thunder Butte, Cheyenne River Rez). I really enjoyed this video a lot, I've been a spectator often but never knew the intricacies like you've shown. Thank you very much for sharing your gift with us,

8 love you're video

I am a White female. But, I am very interested in both Native American and Native Alaskan cultures. I have traveled to the Southwest as well as Pacific Northwest. I always come away with a greater appreciation of these cultures. Thank you for sharing with me.

Thank you I just turned 40 finally made to the Red Road had no spiritual teachings growing up.Creatator woke me up these teachings mean so much to me thank you

The scissors were a great investment. My mom always said sharp scissors aid in the precision. I love how you made your pattern. It is very well thought out for a novice like me. Well done. I have no idea how to sew more than a button or rip.

I am a little out of shape right now. I used to do calf raises all the time. I am not sure why I stopped. Thanks for the reminder.

This made me cry, dancing has been this for me. I can't wait to show my children this. Miigwetch for making these.

Love your shirt “ smuge life”!

In Mexico their is a dance its called the danze of the rain 🌧️ its very similar.

How many yrds of fabric will we need for this?

Thank you❤❤❤😢😊🎉

My a girl but my on dads account but I hit my ankle, so I’ll practice later

I was a jingle dancer when I was really young and I stopped being one ever since i moved into the city. I started doing jingle dancing on my own. I got myself into jingle dancing and I practiced on my own without letting anyone teaching me. I had a bsf who was a jingle dancer and She got me into jingle dancing so my mom asked her mom to make me a customed jingle dress and my mom signed me up to do jingle dancing. I was at pow wows and I was in parades too. It was amazing but i stopped bcz I moved into the city. I was fluent in navajo language but that changed. Now, I wanna become one again and that'll be my career once i grow up. I am a highschool student btw. So I'm learning navajo and I am learning how to do the jingle dance.

Awesome ❤️

miigwetch!

I want some boots like yours How much are they ?.

That place is a notorious mess.
