Native American Jingle Dress Dance

Join Starla as she explains what the Jingle Dress means, and what the dance represents.

[@mboaz4730]

That is beautiful. Starla says, "I want people to know that when they see a Jingle Dancer, they are praying. And they are praying for everyone." It is beautiful that with everything that the First Nations have been put through, they can still care for everyone.

Great dress. The music is deep of a nice cadence. 😊

My mama started me off Jingle dress dancing as soon as I could walk,as I got older I had aunties teach me fancy shawl and competition danced all over the United States,Canada & at all the gathering of nations. I never knew how healing ❤️‍🩹 dance would be for me until a few year before my mama passed,I’d send her videos of me dancing while she was sick and it made her so happy. Now almost 2 years have past with her in the spirit world & im beginning to see how she knew all along,that no matter what,as long as I had dance in my life I’d be able to heal through the pain. ❤ thank you for this beautiful video

[@UpNorth-y3p]

I’m a grandmother and great grandmother who was taught by many old ones about the origin of this dream dress. It is a medicine dress that is given to a woman through a dream by the spirit world. In that dream she is shown the the colors and design of her dress that she is to make by herself, without a sewing machine and is to fashion each jingle by hand with a separate prayer put into each. When it is finished she is told to fast with her medicine dress so the spiritual healing will come into it, and then feast that dress so that when she dances the special steps of that dress only she can ask spirit world to heal the one or those who have given her their ninsema to dance for. Today I don’t see our original teachings being passed down and carried out. I see pan Indians as my teachers warned about would come. This medicine dress is meant for only the ones the spirit gives a dream to. It isn’t meant for children because they won’t have a full understanding of how their every movement in dancing for someone’s healing is sacred and individual in order to please Creator who would bestow healing to occur. It brings sadness to me that in today’s ways everything has to be a fad that everyone does. They all look alike, dress alike and dance alike. I remember the days when we our relatives were distinguishable by their language, clothing and movement according to their tribal communities. We are not that way anymore; we buy our regalias off the rack and have no idea who made it and what spirit is in it. We have lost our individual identities. It saddens me greatly because I remember better days, prouder days in the eyes of my elders when they taught me about this sacred dream dress that can bring true healing for our peoples.

Thank you for taking the time to write this history.

[@jameswilliams3241]

Sister I hear you. I'm Caddo, I am proud to be Caddo. I love all 1st Nations people but I don't care for the whole panindian thing, I get it but it's a little annoying when I hear my grands and great grands using Muscogee terms or Dene and Lakota-Dakota or Anishnabaeg words because they are so pervasive especially if you travel the pow wow highway. My children and grandchildren feel I should lighten up, but everyone can hyphenate their names with Irish or Italian or Polish and while acknowledging that they are European Americans they don't call themselves that I'm Caddo, I live in my homeland which invaders have decided to call America. I'd rather be called 1st Nations or even Caddo-American and while joining in fellowship my 1st Nations especially in our struggle to survive and maintain I don't want some homogeneous "Indian Nations" where we forget the special, unique messages and teachings given by the Holy Ones to our various nations here and on the southern continent.

[@crusader4273]

My admiration for the native people of North America is immeasurable.

[@firstnamelastname7640]

What’s the song in the intro called? It’s beautiful

[@jameswyatt2739]

That was a majestic dance. So much power and energy. I can’t imagine the strength it took to perform the dance. You and your people should be proud. You earned every bit of honor of the dance. That keeps your culture alive. I hope the young ones took notice their time will soon arrive to perform. Peace to you.

[@adampetrie621]

We dance to live, to live is to pray to pray is to give to give is to live. This is why we dance. Hau!!

The warm, spiritual but very human Culture of the native peoples is the true, only american Soul. In comparison everything else, starting with the dominant "Anglo-Saxon" culture, appears out of tune, ridiculous.
