Butterfly or fancy-shawl dancer at the Hyatt Gainey Ranch. This form of dance is just under 100 years old. “According to tradition, this style of dance emerged in the early 20th century in the Northern Plains area as a counterpart to the men's Fancy Dance. In the early 1900s, the traditional animal skin robes of Indigenous peoples were replaced with shawls that women often sewed themselves.” —The Canadian Encyclopedia . . . . . #shawldance #butterflydance #firstnations #indigenous #indigenousdance #preserveculture #shotonnikon #shotonnikond3500 #nikkorlens #nikkor70to300mm #nikkor70to300zoom (at Hyatt Gainy Ranch) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc-slZir3qd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
