  • Straight Dance Resources

    While it is most important to talk with recognized tribal elders and experienced straight dancers concerning straight dance traditions, straight dance clothes, straight dance artwork and straight dance history, the follow list of references may also help in increasing one's knowledge base. As long as the reader keeps in mind the time-period the text is written, the sources used, and the limitations the writer may have had to certain information, most texts can still provide valuable information.

      I agree. That's why I started the post with the following statement,

      "While it is most important to talk with recognized tribal elders and experienced straight dancers concerning straight dance traditions, straight dance clothes, straight dance artwork and straight dance history, the follow list of references may also help in increasing one's knowledge base."

          This major element of the Hethuska dance clothes called to’-zhan-ke in Ponca, is said to be derived from the otter tail component which was attached to the Grizzly Bear Claw Necklaces and hung down the back.

          According to Norman Feder,

          “...grizzly claw necklaces were apparently never vary numerous within any one tribe because of the difficulty in obtaining the claws.”

          Vest
          by Historian
          An optional component in straight dance clothes is the wool broadcloth vest. Ponca, Omaha, Pawnee, and Osage straight dancers can often be seen wearing a vest with or without a ribbonshirt.

          The most common style of Ponca and Osage vests will have a distinctive strip of lazy stitched...

          by Historian
          Though most straight dancers will just have ribbon trim on a ruffled cuff of the ribbonshirt sleeve, occasionally I've seen dancers with some additional form of wrist decoration.

          Among the Osage, Omaha, Comanche, and Kiowa as well as a number of other tribes, it's was not uncommon to...
