Drum Dance
The Dream Dance, sometimes also called the Drum Dance or Big Drum, is a ceremonial drum dance and religious movement practiced by some Native American tribes of the Great Plains and Upper Midwest, particularly the Menominee, Ojibwe, and Potawatomi. Founded around the 1870s among the Sioux of Minnesota, the Dream Dance originates with the vision of a Dakota woman known as Turkey Tailfeather Woman. It is focused around a large ritual drum and a set of ceremonies prescribed by Tailfeather Woman. By the late 20th century, the Dream Dance was moribund in most places it had been practiced, but it has seen a revival in the 21st century.
