Probably only a few
We started a thread where we tried to Trace the origins of some of them and where they came with Starting in Oklahoma
It would be intersting to see who started a few of them and where they recieved permission
I am also guess that if they are calling themselves Gourd Clubs that they feel they dont need permission to Dance

Thanks Zotigh! This is a great start to trace the origins of gourd dance.

I have a question for anybody...


If a gourd singer or dancer supports a gourd dance "group" by singing or dancing at their gourd dance, are they condoning and acknowledging this particular gourd group as legitimate?

Or does it really matter, don't worry about it, enjoy yourself and gourd dance? *L

Back in the 60's the Omaha came down and ask permission from the Kiowa Tia-Piah and formed the Omaha Tia-Piah they were taught some gourd songs and they went back up to Macy. I found some evidence of this when I found some old archive pictures on the Libary of Congress website
The photos were taken in 1983...
Last year it was announced that anyone knew how to get a hold of them to invite them back to our Annual celebration please do so.

Hmmm I think a good example of that is the Oklahoma Gourd Dance Club
Some of the members are also members of the Kiowa Tia-Piah and sometimes are cohosts at our annual
I am not sure whom they belong to

That is an interesting photo. And, interesting also that since the Kiowa received the War Dance from the Omaha and built our Ohoma Society war dance society from their gift...it must be just lack of knowledge as to why the roots of the Omaha Tiah Piah is not as well known.

Editing my post to note that I am NOT of the Ohoma Society, so I have no right to post about that history. The Ohoma Society is a MAJOR society in our Kiowa Tribe and the post about the Omaha gourd society is / may be related...so, it is interesting. But, the leaders of the Kiowa Gourd Clan and/or the leaders of the Kiowa Ohoma Society would have to relate the stories of relationship to our tribal societies.
