Travelingmocs: The Ponca songs you are referring to are called no'stope songs and have already been metioned here. It just means that you are supposed to dance the songs without a full step, or on your tip toes. These songs generally are vocable songs and as I understand it were supposed to be part of the Hethushka but aren't sung alone anymore. As I recall at White Bear, they sang them mixed in with the trot songs.
Little One: There is a Ponca war dance songs that as MrRuminator said talks about an appaloosa horse, which they call niNde' ska which means literally white rump. I am sure there are other songs that talk about that type of horse but I am only familiar with one.
Hope this helps in some way.
