Men’s Traditional
Manito Ahbee Pow Wow in Winnipeg, Manitoba (Oct 31 – Nov 1, 2026), filmed live by PowWows.com.
The Northern Traditional Dancer represents a modern evolution of regalia rooted in the Northern Plains tribes, including the Sioux, Blackfoot, Crow, and Omaha, with significant regional and tribal variation. The outfit typically includes a porcupine-hair roach with feathers, a shirt and breastplate, chokers and bandoliers of hair pipes or fur, optional vests, beaded or metal arm bands and cuffs, decorated breechcloths or aprons, and a belt. Leg adornments commonly consist of knee bands with fringe, angora ankle furs or leggings, bells tied at the knees, and beaded moccasins. Dancers may carry items such as wing fans or dance sticks. The dance style emphasizes controlled, grounded movement often likened to a warrior scouting the prairie, and is traditionally accompanied by a U-shaped feather bustle, though other bustle styles may occasionally be seen.
