Traditional – Jingles – Women aren’t allowed to dance in Mans dances. The feather is raise high to honor the drums.

We have a little boy who is totally absorbed with the Sioux people and their history. He loves dancing and splashing around in the water, and I would like him to have a traditional Lakota name which would be appropriate to his favourite pastime and I know he would thrilled and honoured with such a title.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Best wishes
Jim

This is not a reply to the above, but a question, if you are able to help me. I have relatives 5 generations back, that grandmother was Cherokee. This is a matter of a document concerning the United States department of War that proves my ancestor. My question is this (if you could help me I would be forever thankful): My heart is after this grandmother, I long for my Cherokee People. If my blood quantum is too small, I desire to be adopted by a Cherokee family or person. Could you please help me? I do not believe I accidently found your site.

Yes, what is the name of the dance where the woman holds the feather fan in front of her and her arm to the side of her?
