I'm going to start dancing again this year. I'm going to do what my grandmother always wanted me to do. And that's old style jingle my Grandmother always loved to watch old style jingle and in memory of her that's exactly what I'm going to do. I'm not dancing for money I'm dancing to have fun and enjoy myself.

Grandmothers Medicine is very powerful I feel this too.

Absolutely beautiful. The elder kept up with the girls and enjoyed herself.

this was really amazing i loved it when that elder came out and just started dancing traditional jingle - no regalia... just cause she wanted to dance

That's my aunt in red, Clara Jackson, that's her daughter in yellow, Tarah Jackson, then Leslie Harper in Green and her sister Laurie Harper in blue.

congratulations to them all for keeping the tradition alive for future generations.

Chi miigwitch for dancing in that healing dress . I dance jingle dress too. Makes me feel and helps others. Keep dancing and stay safe..Have a good day bless you NIIGANA EQUAY

This is so damn beautiful. It moves me to tears. ❤from Mexico

Pow Wows have changed through out the years, so it's nice to see good ol traditional dancing.. Native Pride Forever no one can change that!

My mom's dress she made by hand took 3 years to make. Jingles my uncle made took 3 years. Still got her dress!

Being an old styler myself as well, I agree with all of you when you say it makes you proud to dance this particular style of dress. I teared up when I first saw this when the Elderly lady's really getting it. Makes me proud and hopeful to be the same way one day!

It's always a beautiful thing to see women expressing their most powerful selves with grace and dignity. Fully clothed, with power!

I was raised from a small child in a jingle dress, I'm going to dance to day actually. But when i watch these videos i can help but let my feet fall in step with these women. This is a beautiful example of what Jingle Dress is about and how it is danced. I also love the apperication that the speaker has shown the Old Style dancers, because they are like he said often disrespected. Proud to be a native & proud to see goo skills

Now that is jingle dancing at its finest....aho ladies! Meegwetch for showing the old style and I have to say the way jingle should be.....

At my highschool in Canada Ontario, we have one day that the aboriginal students have a powwow in the gym of highschool. The cooking class makes bannock and wild rice soup for the powwow at lunch! Any students/ people are allowed, to show everyone our culture. We would let the “white” and other students in the crowd come up and try dance like us, we had one person represent every dance style. One jingle, one Shaw, etc... and they got a prize for whoever did it best. I really liked that. Some whites really show the interest. I wouldn’t be brave enough to go up in front of a bunch of people and dance a traditional style I didn’t know. Props to my town, my school , but most of all my country💕🇨🇦

Love the vid. The elder on the end, much respect! Made me tear up and don't know who she is but makes you wish you knew the older generation and their stories and their life. I was born to late, to be asking mine. Its just the cards that were dealt. Much respect to you all who have the knowledge, stories, life. :)

The jingle dress dance style is always what younger dancers want to join in on, because of the old style!

I live the elder dancing. So precious. And so wonderful that the young include her and live her.

Love the Ladies but Grandmother does us proud! Goes to show ya, no matter your age you can dance with the best of them.

Our Elder stole the show.... I am honored to have witnessed this

howah cha mii qwetch for showing this video..i really love the ole style of jingle dress dancing!!It also brought tears to my eyes to see the elder dancing and having fun!!

Yahweh bless these are sacred dances, that should be known for its healing & not for any competition. It is a delight to see my native American people doing what we luv! Dancing is part of our beautiful culture amen ❤

yes, now adays, the jingle dress is overly danced and dressed, if your going to dance fancy and dress fancy go to fancy dance. Maggie White bought this dance in to the circle for a reason, to dance and heal, not win and have the most fancest dress out there.The announcer hit it on the nail.

I love that the unci came out to show how it was done. She definitely has the beat down. Makes me proud to come back into to the circle after being gone for 7 years. Ill be praying the whole time mitakuye oyasin.

I'm a white man yet I find this dancing hypnotic. These dance steps are so soothing to the mind. :) Thank you.

I'm honored to watch this!!! I'm an Italian-American born and raised in New York City, but it shames me to think I've never had a Native American as a classmate or workmate. Thank you for this post! !!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep culture alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mesmerizing! Extraordinary! Well done ladies. Well done.

i love this , i am from the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe Reservation .

the elderly lady is so awesome.without the dress

Breathtaking! Thankful that this culture has been passed down and is carried on in such a traditional way. I personally love the older style. Just admire the grace and movement without a lot of glitz and glamour. Just pure fascination

Very beautiful!Many prayers nd blessings. Thank you so much for sharing this great video.

i agree with what this elder has to say i respect that these women kept the tradion goin with how the jingle dress dance is a healing dance an should be well respected :)

I dance modern jingle but I have to say I love the old style very much. It's so graceful and to me is the best form of jingle ^_^

Love that our elders still can kick the dust!!!!

As you; I am very proud and I cannot find anything else better than your beautiful dances, dresses and traditions. America should feel lucky to have you performing as you are doing through these few videos and we should preserve the traditions of the Natives Americans as part of this country roots and traditions among the many others from all the people in this country from all over the world because America is lucky to have the vast diversity that it does & I hope God'll help us to preserve it

The first pow wow I attended, I was offered a shawl; a little girl's elder told her to bring me one. It's an unforgettable experience, the feelings watching the others dance as we circled the arena during the intertribal. Brings tears as I write. THIS dance you posted is a beautiful sight to see.... gracefull healthfull. Thank you. ✨🤲💮✨

Love the old style side step dance. Would love to learn this dance.

Grandma still has the moves. Wonderful. I enjoyed this vid.

Dancer in blue her footwork is striking.

Great Spirit and Sacred Sisters thankyou from my heart mind soul spirit and entire being for healing Earth Mother my SisterBrothers and myself. I Honour all of You and Myself in ALL of my Ways from this day forward...prayers flowing through all elements for Peace, Unity Consciousness and Healing Of Our Sacred Earth Mother. Aho

Louie Paul yes there is old style jingle and contemporary jingle, don’t disrespect either styles by choosing to dismiss one style, if your gonna “try” to speak about the jingle dress, learn the teachings first and review the different styles

i almost started crying to watching this. its very true we oldstyle jingle do get overlooked.but i dont care because its not about the money or placing first. but a lot of people dont get that

Yeah, Grandma is so cute. I'm tearing up watery eyes, too.

The one in yellow is my sister, Red is my mama, and the ladies in green and yellow are my adopted aunties. It's hard for me to think of my mama as an elder though, I tell you what.

thnx for posting this i really like the old style jingle dress dance....fofr some reason this causes me to weep n think of the heyoka

I was crying when I saw her. It was awesome how she just jumped up there!

Thank you for sharing this was most powerful and enlightening. Beauty all around.

They are wonderful

I love this dance. I dance this category when we have powwows and like the elder, I dance for myself and my younger brother who can no longer walk.

My mom was just telling me this style of dancing. Cause I didn't notice the style changed. But now I can show her this video next time she comes down to visit. Red Lake Nation! ! Glad this came up as recommend.

I love that girl's smile in the green dress

I wanted to marry a Native American Ladyyyyyyy where are they 👏👏👏👏👍

That's my aunts and 1st cousin! :D They still dance to this day! :D

R.I.P. Amik! Giga-waabamin minaawaa niijii!

This was awsum! I teared up watching the grandma dancing:) i used to dressed jingle and wondered why i dance the old style and not fancy like the others and now i know my mom was trying to keep the old style alive:)

Times are gonna change, our cultures gonna change whether we like it or not.

that is an awsome old lady Lol i cant even last that long dancing haha

ME ENCANTA. LOVE IT. ✌🇵🇷👋

our inner journey finding out who you really are,you are a most interesting beautiful women i have ever seen, i hardly know her, i found out who i am and i gave up letting everyone else define me, i found my myself awareness in all my walk in life.

Think I can adopt a grandma? She's awesome!

"I never knew there was a difference nthe Jingle dancers. But I enjoy seeing the 2 represented. Loved the tale s well about how the Jingle came into being also."

this was lovely.

When I first danced jingle this is how I learned

Thank you!!

Beautiful 👏😇🙌🏼🌈

that it really cool

Beautiful!

older ladies do this so beautiful...

Long story but thanks for telling us.

what happened to our ways? I love this video cause it shows how jiggle dress dancing is how it is meant to be, not with all those fancy steps or fancy outfits, it's steps and the how you dance to the beat of the drum a long with the beat.

It is nice to see the old style jingle. I am currently learning more about it and this video is really helpful.

Yeah, my Quapaw ancestors (from Arkansas and Louisiana didn't bother to wear shirts at all. You won't catch me going around topless!

what up I watched this video because I am Ojibwe and I have a jingle dress it is very pretty I love the creator because we are here today I love to dance with my sibling and friends. I love my people I don't care what white people say I love how we are!!!!

This was very enlightening. Thanks.

SPECTACULAR!!!

❤️❤️❤️❤️

The lady in the yellow does the dance most appropriately. The feet should never come off the ground. Other wise the dancing is good.

thats tradition for ya its in the blood

Beautiful..

Hands down, the dancer in the yellow and the elder would win in a old style side step.

@Nihba i almost started crying to,i dance oldstyle and it is very true wat this man is saying. we do get overlooked.

heee. lookin' good, ladies

❤❤❤❤

@kjpheasant my great grandmother used to use arm movements when she couldnt go any more, she'd dance all night and with a little help from the arms she'd keep going...I do them only when i'm tired just as tradition :D

I came from the western doorway that’s where the elders put me -naajkwe

That Gram could win a street clothes contest fa sure! :D

@powwowJuNkiEslalala - well said!
