Lakota Style?

I have heard this term. I was told that the Ojibway and Lakota's have had a close relationship from way back. Sharing different things with each other and therefore were able to survive. I was also told because of some of this sharing, the Ojibway gave the Lakota the right to dance the jingle dance. As to the particulars of that I don't feel qualified to answer. I'm sure some of the elders around you could answer this for you. ;)This is life, and I'm lovin it!

There are many many Ojibway Reservations throughout Canada and the United States. A lot of 'em! So, I don't know which "ojibway" gave the right to lakota to dance jingle. However, I do know there was no right given by our people here.
Kwe, that is the first i've ever heard of southern style jingle. *LOL* wow."Gaa wiin daa-aangoshkigaazo ahaw enaabiyaan gaa-inaabid"

It is more in keeping with the "old style" jingle dance instead of the contemporary. It's side step is really graceful and nice to watch but from what I hear is a killer on calves and ankles!! That's just a couple of things. I'm hoping someone will jump in here.
and here in the states... Lakota country is by no means... ahem... SOUTHERN !!!:rofl2:

Hey hey now, Kwe Zee KNOWS Lakotas are as northern as us Ojibs are. I was actually talking about a southern dude, as in Oklahoma southern. I should have stated that, sorry.:devil
Maybe they say Lakota style cuz they put their "spin" on it.

And Mato...If "Lakota style" is supposed to be old style...then it should just be old style...after all it started with Ojib's...or maybe "Ojibwe style". Not trying to be rude or a smart a$s....that explanation just doesn't make sense to me.

I was told that our (Lakota) women had Penny Dresses at one time, but those started fading out when the Ojibwe Jingle Dress started making its way across the Plains.
But as far as Lakota Style, yes every time a dance style gets adopted into a certain area there will be footwork and handmotions that "mark" that area's/people's own "version" of that dance. When a dance is brought into the powwow circle, most people take that to mean it is now "shared" with all tribes. Right or wrong. As another example, I was told by a very experienced grasser that he can watch other dancers and distinguish Lakota-style, Blackfeet-style and Yakima-style grass moves.Last edited by Wakalapi; 01-19-2004, 04:29 AM.

I can only comment on the outward appearance that might be considered Lakota style. My sister was told by Teresa Iyotte of Rosebud, South Dakota that one hand was to hold an eagle fan with a red scarf attached and the other hand was for the purse. This is proabably one of the attributes that could be considered Lakota style because nothing else was mentioned that differed from the true Ojibwe style. She didn't mention Lakota style jingle dance steps or jingle dresses.

Lakota stylin
Hmm..don't know about the lakota style of jingle dress. But as a lakota I guess we put our lakota style when we dance jingle. That is my 2 cents...but I think we know that it does come from the ojibway, but our beadwork is lakota..too. But I haven't heard that term..also the dress patterns are lakota.."I don't know why you never tried to tell me I was the one for you, I'm telling you my love is true and you're the only one for me -NC
I'm not crazy I'm jus a little impaired I know right now you don't care but soon enough you're gonna think of me and how I used to be I'm not crazy jus a little unwell...-matchbox 20

by WhoMeIf someone makes and sells a jingle dress, are they also giving the right for the buyer - to wear and dance in that dress?
If you buy a jingle dress, do you automatically have the right to jingle dress dance?
What if the dress maker is not Anishinabe Kwe?
