Woman 's-DANCE Songs 



The woman's dance is the favorite social dance among the Chip- 

 pewa at the present time. It is said to have been learned from the 

 Sioux. Both men and women engage in it; an invitation to dance 

 is accompanied by a gift, and the first invitation is usually given by 

 a woman, the man returning it with a gift of equal value. The 

 dancers form a circle, facing the drum and moving clock- wise with 

 a shuffling step. 



The drumbeat of this class of songs consists of an accented stroke 

 preceded by an unaccented stroke about one-third its length. The 

 songs show no general characteristics, but most of them are rather 

 simple in melody and rhythm.
