Native American Mandan Indian Dance, 1830s

Dances have always been significant in the lives of Native Americans. Dances played a vital role in religious rituals and other ceremonies, while others were held to guarantee the success of hunts, harvests, giving thanks, and other celebrations. Movements of the participants illustrated the purpose of the dance, expressing prayer, victory, thanks, mythology and more. Many tribes danced only to the sound of a drum and their own voices, while others incorporated bells and rattles. Some dances included solos, while others included songs with a leader and chorus. Participants might include the entire tribe, or would specific to men, women, or families. The Mandan are a Native American tribe of the Great Plains who have lived for centuries primarily in what is now North Dakota. Voyage dans l'interieur de l'Amerique du Nord, execute pendant les annees 1832-34. Karl Bodmer (1809-1893) was a Swiss printmaker, lithographer, painter, illustrator and hunter.
