It's one of the oldest forms of dancing in the Indigenous culture and it originates right here on the Prairies. If you've been to a powwow, you'll have seen the Prairie Chicken Dance. It's one of the most intricate dances, with amazing synchronization and artistry. In this episode, Dominic and Kesia learn about the dance and it's origins from Grant Many Heads, a senior interpreter at the Blackfoot Crossing Historical Park in Southern Alberta.
