Comanche War Dance

Traditional dancing is one of the most beautiful parts of Comanche culture. With powwow season upon us, we wanted to explain five forms of Comanche dance that you are most likely to see this spring and summer at powwows across throughout Oklahoma. We'll feature one dance for the next five weeks. Let's kick things off with the War Dance, performed by our tribe's award-winning dancers.

    I was a part of the kwahadi dance group last winter. I was so excited to do these dances in the summer ( we do Pueblo dances in the winter) but then mom's kept arguing, drama exploded and I had to leave.

    What a pity ! Why do you HAD to leave ? Didn't you do any dancing at all then ? I am from Germany, +I do belong to one of the *ultimate few* (478 single persons counted by Dec.31, 2019, =pre CoVid19) *full-blooded vikings* from my family lineage (still being alive in Europe) with us living in the West part of Germany. We still have been doing our traditional Viking/ Germanic dancings in small events, not in contests or competitions. Therefore we are *too few* persons.

    I don't have Comanche blood flowing through my veins😅 I have Blackfoot, Chippewa, and Patowatami ancestry. My paternal grandpa was Chippewa from the Swan Creek tribe (Saginaw Swan Creek and Black River bands of Chippewa Indians) and his clan is Turtle/Bear. I am also from this tribe and clan, obviously, but we lost our Federal recognition awhile back and we are in the process of trying to get re-recognized. I don't know much about my Blackfoot ancestor; however, I was told by my maternal grandmother that her name was Nancy. I know nothing about my Patowatami ancestor other than she or he married into my Chippewa family and had children. There is still quite a few things that I have to learn about my Indigenous sides of the family. My grandpa, after he got out of the Mount Pleasant Indian Industrial Boarding School, left his rez and never looked back. He met and married my grandma, who was the daughter of Danish immigrants, and they had many children with each other. Grandpa did his damnest to be like a white man since back when he was young, he could be discriminated against and/or killed for being an Indian. He often lied to potential employers and told them that he was Italian so he could land a job. He eventually found a job as a tool and dye maker. My grandpa is the grandson of Julia Fisher. Julia Fisher is the daughter of Chief Wabaness and the granddaughter of Chief Kaw ge ke Ihick. From what I was told, grandma Julia is the rightful owner of most of Mount Pleasant Michigan. My grandpa died in 1981 from heart failure and he was 64 years old at the time of his death.

    The Sacred History of the Commanche - the Sacrd and divine dance is a part of their faith, culture and belief system, and allowed the Comanche to connect to the Divine Lord True Creator of all. It's a very spirtual Martail art and spiritual dance forms, and requires a great deal of numerous Skills, physical stamina, strength training and focus on the one true creator, and it enables the mind to reach a high, enhanced, increased, spritual state of awareness, the resoundng war drums also enable this high frequency of awareness: at this state the warrior becomes invincible. The movements are very martial and spiritual and is a unification of all the tribes people, with the true Creator of all. I can see the complex forms of the movements and in Sikhism our warriors also practice the martial art of Gatka which also is a complex dance with sacred weapons, with the playing of war drums (Ranjit Nagara) and interlocking and interwining divine movements which are used to impress our God- Vaheguru - who has created all and permeates all and is the one and only creator of everything we see. I can see now why the early settlers were so threatened by this sacred and divine dance and ceremony, and it was actively banned to suppress the Comanche culture, beliefs and faith, and civilisation. In our Sacred Sikh history, our 10th Guru, Guru Gobind Singh Ji (Sant soldier and Divine Guru) who taught the Sikhs about our spiritual connection with the Divine Creator through rememberance and love, and bestowed on the Sikh nation, the sacred martial art forms and gave us our current Khalsa identity and passed on the Guruship to the Guru Granth Sahib ji, our eternal Shabad Guru. Our Guru ji talks about the Divine and powerful spiritual warrior Chandi, (Durga) (in the Dasam Granth )who was creator to restore the balance between good and evil, and God bestowed on her the powers of the martial arts, and Chandi would also dance with numerous sacred and divine weapons on the field of battle to please the Lord. The sacred chanting, meditation and mantras is vital to reaching a balanced stage of divine spiritual awareness with the Immortal one. In the end one merges with the divine truth, becoming one with the light, as the ripples of the waves merge with the ocean, the soul merges back to the origins of all souls, Parmarthma. We all belong to one.
