Description
The art of Haudenosaunee dance may seem effortless, but in truth it is quite intricate. The different drumbeats, chants, and foot movements are all unique to each specific dance. Each dancer is able to interpret these elements in their own style. The dances serve to convey stories about nature and the elements, while also expressing gratitude to the Creator for his blessings.

This is awesome!! I love watching the Fancy Dancers when I get to go to a powwow! Unfortunately I don’t get to go very often… I am very pleased to feature your wonderful artwork in the group ‘Appalachia America.’ Please add it to the “2023 Third Quarter FEATURED IMAGE Collection” thread in the discussions area to record and display your image amongst the best in the group. Thank you! 7/23/23
