Okay, Hmmmm. Lemee see.
I have heard that the staff is used by taildancers, too. At a typical man dance: the Pawnee have two taildancers, The Otoe have four, the Osage have two (times 3 districts), Comanche (?) the Ponca have (well let's see. A whole bunch of non- Indians dance to their tails at Helushka).
So for arguing sake there are 25 to 30 active taildancers out there.
Howcome every Tom, Dick and Harpostraight dancer is carrying a taildancer's staff?
If this is a traditional dance of the southern pursuation, shouldn't a person who dances "straight" abide by the rules?
