In the last year or so, I noticed more straight dancers wear what appears to be a Shawl wrapped around their waist over their aprons. What is the significance of this? Does it represent something special or did they have a spare and decide to wear it

I thought it was just an extra long shirt.

I don't know why a straight dancer would wear a shawl around their waist while straight Dancing. I know a few respected Kiowa Straight Dancers and have never seen them wear the shawl Actually the only place I have seen many dancers wearing the shawl would be during the Annual 4th of July celebrations in and around Carnegie Oklahoma but we are Gourd Dancing... @AmigoKumeyaay did they announce that they were brush dancing? Curious because they look to be Gourd Dancing, Brush dancing is usually only done during the Annual Celebration the drum is carried and the men follow in the brush boys

I saw a young guy with what I thought was long fringe on their aprons. I need to pay more attention.

Where did you see that and what tribe do they wore their shawls over the aprons? ![]() I think it might be Mexico or other country that they do that. I am guessing.

waist shawls
This topic comes up from time to time, but it's been covered going way back, like in this thread from 2003: black shawl wraps
Just a quick note - and I in no way mean any disrespect to Josiah - but Wallace didn't restart anything. He's the current headman of the Comanche's man dance group, but it was originally restarted in 1969 by Melvin Kerchee, Sr., and Forrest Kassanavoid (and a couple other guys I can't remember right at the moment) under the guidance of the Poncas. There's been several old discussions of this issue too, about who got what from who in terms of Hethushka. Anyway, the black waist shawl is not a symbol of the Comanche's man dance society, which gets into my old (12 years ago!) post from that thread I linked above: Quote:

The big guy is Tim Tsoodle headsman of the Kiowa Gourd Clan, I believe they were honoring her and that they mentioned the brush dance as a part of the 3 day celebration in Carnegie Oklahoma. In a Brush Dance the women do not actually enter the arena they are around the edge.
