Mimicking Life by keeweechic
The dance steps are usually small and close to the ground, no leaping around or anything very aerobatic and a lot of the time the dance is bent over in a crouch. Some styles (more by the men) mimic animals or birds and act out the art of hunting, fishing or harvesting etc. Small movements of the forearms and wrists occur when an implement such as a stick is being used.(American Indian Arts Festival)
