America Native

 Americans have a traditional dance called a powwow. A powwow is a special event where thousands of people come to enjoy music and dance. Powwow dancers move to the beat of a drum. The dancers try to move their bodies in perfect time to the drumming, no matter how fast it gets. Some of the dances are very fast and the dancers jump and twirl. They train for months to develop strength and fitness. At the start of the powwow, the dancers form a big circle. The circle shows that no person is above another, and everyone is equal. The powwow dancers wear beautiful costumes. The women wear handmade dresses made out of buckskin and decorated with beads. Some women wear brightly coloured glass beads, which can hang to the waist, or all the way to the ankles. The beads catch the light as the women dance to the music. The men wear brightly coloured feather headdresses, which swirl around as they dance. They also carry coup sticks, which are highly decorated with ribbons or feathers. The coup stick was originally a small stick carried into battle by a warrior.
