people think its just a father and son dancing ...It's a father and son sharing the love of dance. Giving back to the commumity And teaching people outside of it. The culture And good nature of the tribe while honoring the family members before them Pure enjoyment

Wonderful this way of love and tradition! 🥁🤗✌

You know he wants his son to win. But he will make him earn it. Thats beautiful

Dad had some old time moves, son had exuberance. Wonderful.

Wow I wasn't expecting that to happen, so beautiful to see 3 generations of Randy's family in a dance off, father, son, grandson it doesn't get any better then this.

This was beautiful so full if love...people should learn a important lesson from this show of love, fun and family. Bless you all

This one's hard to watch without crying

BEAUTIFUL dancing, father & son brought tears to my eyes 😭, HAPPY TEARS, both are AMAZING dancers 💯👌

The father is very proud of his son, u done well, and the tears, great love.

I would not be able to choose between the two, they are both absolutely awesome!

Oh that brought tears to my eyes. That little one came in and it was awesome!!

Shoutout for pops teaching his ways and much love too the family for working as a team it’s all about culture and family that was teamwork not a competition !!

It was sad when he looked across when the little one came in and seen his dad was eliminated but when he seen little brother on stage with him he couldn't help but keep on going.. sad story happy ending

That lil kid showed up and showed them both.

DJ Shub brought me here. The physical and emotional beauty, depth and richness of the people will keep me coming back. Strength through vulnerability ❤️ Stay safe and well all ❤️

Amazing! Father and son showing their mad skills...shooo this is total love and respect for one another...made me tear up with happiness 😊 much respect to yah both 🤩

That was 3 generations dancing. Most Beautiful thing I've seen.

Wow those eagle feathers were part of the prize thats amazing im sure those are rare to get

At the 5:00 mark little man did the one leg kick was awesome. Damn chills.

👏🏽 👏🏽 y’all know how to get tears flowing 😂😅

I danced against my dad before hardest dance in my life

you don't get any better than this, Randall is a legend.

Dad wins everytime for me. I've been watching him dance for at least 20 years.

Love seeing this father and son.

Glad to see my northern cousins honoring the ancient traditions unfortunately I wasn't so lucky to be raised in my culture, I only found out later in life that I was chiricahua apache and raramuri from Mexico on my dad's side and they were forced to abandon their native heritage from the colonizers because I don't even have an Indian name and just as our American tribal cousins endured great atrocities under white rule in the US we endured similar atrocities in Mexico under Spanish and later Mexican rule. I love learning not just about my own heritage but my cousins and I know we are not really family but we are all related by our shared heritage of turtle island. Much love and respect to my Indian brothers and sisters please cherish your heritage and keep fighting to practice it and protect it because you never know how precious it is until you lose it or forced to give it up like what happened to my family.

Jon, I'm so very sorry for what my people did to your people. It was cruel, shameful, disgraceful. I'm happy that you're finding and living your heritage and culture. They are something to be very proud of. I stand with you my Native American brother. ❤

Wicked ... one word powerful generation. .. love this... I'm honored to be a first nation. . This is what makes us proud and honored people.

Respect for Father & Son awesome dancing

Wow that brought a tear to my eye you could just see and feel the luv.. I felt like lil brother helped his big brother keep going after dad was eliminated that was awesome...

Just Beautiful!!!!!!!

Absolute beaufical to watch these dancers. It took years of practice to do what these folks do. Unbelievable to watch- awesome it is.

Even though Therien won, Randy still has the moves, he's very quick and gave his son a run for the money, competing against a close family member is hard, I remember competing against my little sister, that was tough, I wanted her to win because she was young and I didn't want her to get discouraged, there's a 22 year age difference between my sister and I.

Man that was an awesome video. That little guy took the cake.👍👍

Man Therien and Randy were awesome God blessed me with having the chance to talk to them on fb the same night i watched this video 💜very humble people if I could love this video I would a million times 👍🏾😍 Thanks for sharing with us❣❣

These dances r soooo beautiful they could bring tears 2 a person's eyes...❤️🧡💛💚💙💜!!!!

Beautiful Simply beautiful

This is a picture of over a thousand miles Randy and his remarkable son you guy's are my Hero's

The little man on one foot!!! I’m speechless the whole video was beautiful!!!

Congratulations to both men, but dad is always champion. He's the head that showed his son the moves. Love my native people ❤️💙

Tears in my eyes falling down my cheek bones so emotional 😊

To be honest, I don't know how many time's I've watched this video, it warms my heart to see father and son just dancing together, it's so easy for me to forget it's a competition, I just see a father and his son.

This... This is breathtaking

My late dad cudnt dance so he taught me to dance that gave him pure joy n today i too have 1 son n share the same love of singing with my son he sings way better than this ol rooster

Randy's wife made my first champion jingle dress and this warms my heart I miss dancing so much and thanks to his family I got feel like a champion dancer n have a dress that made me look like it...

powerful!!! like father like son....

Incredible !

You taught him well Father

You made me cry. What a beautiful gift to us. Thank you Randy and Therien.

Men’s Grass Dance Much has been written about the Grass Dance. Borrowed from the Omaha tribe, perhaps in the 1860s, the dance is very popular. Dancer’s outfits feature a good deal of colorful fringe, replacing the grasses dancers originally tucked into their belts. Many dancers wear the hair roach, the crow-belt, and the eagle-bone whistle-originally emblems for the Omaha society. The basic step of the Grass Dance involves the ball of one foot being tapped on one beat and placed down flatly with the next, repeating the action on the opposite foot without missing a beat. Each time the foot is placed flatly on the ground, the weight is shifted to that foot. Dancers should keep their heads moving either up or down with the beat of the drum, nodding quickly, several times to each beat, or moving from side to side. The purpose of this action is to keep the roach crest feathers spinning. To keep the feathers moving constantly is the sign of a good dancer. Although the Grass Dance is a freestyle type of dancing, dancers must follow the changing beat of the drum and stop when the music does, with both feet on the ground.
