i feel that it is wrong and disrespectful fo females to wear the grass dance ragalia and dance in it. i feel this becuase tha is a old dance that has sacred meaning and the raditions should be kept intact. now days there is alot of lost traditions and we should try to keep what is left there

CG9,
You are going out of your boundaries, aren't you?

cherokee_grassdance9

know its true there has been several traditions the white pople warshed out whn they came here and cut our hair and put us in boarding schools and didnt allow us to speak our language.thats just starting though then alot of natives started evolving now we dnt have all the traditions in tact i feel that its better even with dance styles to keep traditions. just wondering but how would i be going out of boundries

I'm from Crow Creek South Dakota and during the 90's there was a girl who was a grass dancer. Her name is Audrey and she'd always place in the teen boys grass category. Your inattentiveness shows that you need to tread lightly.

CG9,
Obviously what you feel and what you were taught seems to have gone the wayside of the actual facts.

how so

First of all, your noviceness shows you to be very young. It also doesn't help that your grammar, punctuation and spelling are not up to par. But, that's besides the point because I am not the authority on English. Realize that others will judge and decipher your thinking based on your writings and not what's inside your heart.

What OffbeatDancer posted was for humor designed to make us think.

cherokee_grassdance9

i dont want to argue but how you know it was for humer do you feel that a male should be able to jingle dance and if not what is the diff?

quicksilverwade

There's a thread on that subject. You should check it out. Apparently there are male jingle dress dancers that compete against the women but who am I to judge.
