I had not heard the phrases "Red on Right" or " Red on Left" before you mentioned them. What's that about???

At pow wows in Oklahoma, Arkansas and Texas, I observed that when the Northern Drum sings, the dancers go around clockwise. When the Southern Drum sings, the dancers do around counterclockwise (or do I have that backwards?). Anyway, people there did observe that tradition.

In Californa, everyone just goes clockwise, regardless of which drum is singing.
