      I sit on the the edge of my folding chair, in between lines of jingles. If i want to sit for any length of time i just get undress'd i was taught that its really disrespectfull to hike ur dress up to sit down, even if you are wearing shorts.

      or make a flap.

          That's what my aunt does, and she is very respected in the shinaab territory...lolz...
          I'm interested more in self determination than gender equity. In other words, changing white men for white woman in the structures of power, does nothing to transform the opression in my community.

            You make a matching under skirt. That way you pull the outer skirt up with the jingles, and just leave the inner skirt down to sit on.

                        I made my daughters dress with an underskirt so that she may slide up the outer skirt with all the jingles to be able to sit freely without harm to any of them. just an idea

                              Jingle Dancer Sit Down??

                              I believe the stamina and endurance a Jingle Dress Dancer has to have, they could probably stand for days w/o resting.

                                I'm a 21 year old ojibwe kwe, looking to make my first dress. I danced when I was younger until I was 13 years old. I want to get back into it, but I dont know where to start. I never made a jingle dress before, so I'm pretty clueless where to start. Got any pointers?

                                Does anyone actually go through the proper channels anymore to be a Jingle dancer???:Yell Or do girls just one day decide that they are going to make themselves a dress and start dancing?

                                This irriatates me on a next level, because this dress originate's from my tribe. I am OJIBWE and...

                                What is the History of the Jingle Dress? Do you know?

                                I have heard the creation story of the jingle dress, but there are many different variations of the story too?!
                                Why do you raise your fan?
                                Why do we wear plumes?
                                When did jingle dress dance become?...

                                Should jingle dress dancers have a competition?
                                by IndianWoman3000
                                Since eveyone has an opinion or knowledge of jingle dress dancers, here is my question. If Jingle dress dancers are supposed to be about praying and only certain people should be jingle dress dancing, then how do you judge a good jingle dress dancer? Should there even be a jingle dress competition,...
