The gourd dance is of Kiowa origin, period. There might be gourd dancing going on in Colorado, Arizona or any pow-wow in Oklahoma, but the songs and the dance come from the Kiowa people. You can be told all kinds of interesting and fascinating tales from other tribes across the land about gourd dancing, but it is soley and originally a Kiowa traditional dance.

@ZelbeQahi i agree this is of Kiowa origin. I myself am N. Ponca, Omaha(Umo Ho) tribe we came from and i know the Sheridans and how the Gourd Dance was past down to us from the Kiowa to honor. I am a

gourd Dancer and it is what i do every opportunity that i get here in Omaha ,Lincoln, Macy, or whatever organization holds a Gourd Dance. We also acknowledge this fact that is of Kiowa origin and we adhere to Kiowa protocol Aho!

@wattz18 iTS A kiowa thang mr wattz..It goes back to wen satanta was chief and was goin to war with tha calvary..we captured one of tha bugle players and the bugle..and made him teach us how to play tha attack and retreat song on it..So it would throw off our enemy..wen they played the attack we would play tha retreat..and vice versa..A-ho..

[wattz18]

@kiowastylz First off thanks for the knowledge.... Second, why is this rarely done anymore or is it only done during a special time????

[kiowastylz]

@wattz18 Its done down home..Carnegie area..Its not done at every gourd dance..Like I said its a Kiowa thing for our people..

[wattz18]

@kiowastylz So it is A Carnegie thing and for Marines.... Never heard of it being a Kiowa Thing or being mentioned as Kiowa Tradition for This Being Done. Im pretty sure I would have known and had a clue of it if it was a KIOWA THING. Again thanks for your knowledge.

[kiowastylz]

@wattz18 well sorry you dont know..Ask Some other Kiowas and they will tell you..thats wat it is..sorry you dont have a clue..

[satebohone]

@wattz18 it is a Kiowa thing...and like Sayghee Joe said at the Gourd Clan Ceremonials...."it stays at Carnegie!"

[wattz18]
