[gnostiteauton]

that is one fancy dance!

[nachise51]

@ayobaileynicole: the posted name of the video is Apache Crown Dancer.  A Crown Dancer, known as a ga'an, is a member of an Apache society that does dances for ceremonial reasons. They are representing Mountain Spirits. Definitely not a Chicken Dancer. Prairie Chicken Dancing originated with the Northern tribes, but has become a popular powwow dance. Traditionally, Chicken Dancers are initiated to the style.

Beautiful!!!!!!!!

[MrBwolfleg]

THIS GUY HAS NOTHING ON ALEX AND SHELDON SCALPLOCK... THEY'RE WORLD CHICKEN DANCE CHAPIONS!!!!

[roamingblackdog]

Props to him that was exellent.

[poorexcuse1]

I spoke with a friend of his recently. I had wondered what had inflicted the wounds that killed him.  The friend told me that he had stabbed himself with a knife. I don't know if that is true or not.

[nachise51]

It's a real good chicken dance, but why is this labeled Apache? Is it because the dancer is Apache?

[ayobaileyNicole]

@nachise51 More then likely because he is Apache , I don't know the guy but I know a guy from down my way that is a Lumbee Native American thats a Chicken Dancer . I am not sure where the dance came from but any one of us ( Native Americans) can do them .

[PinStripedGuy]

@ayobaileyNicole its blackfoot

[INGRACEify]

AWESOME, BRILLIANT!

[125563444]

Before non - natives post videos on indigenous native North Americans can they get their facts right please. This dancers regalia is not Apache in origin and neither is the dance style. He is a chicken dancer. Will real natives take care when posting videos on youtube because no matter how hard you try to educate the viewer the reality will be fantasised into what is acceptable and not factual. Excellent dancer by the way and stunning regalia.

[texane84]

good the name music please

[mikjikjpipuqwesskw]

wow Clinton passed?? RIP what a shame!!! such great dancer!!!!

[mikjikjpipuqwesskw]

[mikjikjpipuqwesskw]

WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!! FABULOUSSS

[TheYamila79]

Love the dancing. It is awesome! I think that this is the best dance that human eyes have ever seen! Keep it up! Thank you for posting and sharing with the community!

[apache127812005]

No no no no... this isn't a Apache Dancer... this is from the Blackfeet tribe of Montana, USA... who were at the Smithsonian Museum exhibiting at the same time as the Chiricahua Apache Dancers under the leadership of James Kunestsis.

[Peidmonte89]

[poorexcuse1]

One of the earliest postings said that his name is Clinton Croff. In the September issue of the CUJ from the Umatilla Tribe there was an artical stating that Clinton Croff died at Glacier National Park. It said that he died of multiple wounds of I guess unknown origins. I may have mispoke in saing that he was killed instead of that he died. It said that no charges had been filed.

[Wolfskind78]

@poorexcuse1 ...thank you for explaining.

[poorexcuse1]

An excellent dancer. I watched this so much that my wife said that I woke her up chickendancing in my sleep. He was recently killed.

[Wolfskind78]

@poorexcuse1 what do you mean by "he was recently killed"?

[shunkakodi]

This is not Apache Crown Dancing. I am Apache...this is Chicken Dancing

[walelums]

Greetings all, I am Cherokee and I also dance, but nothing like this, this is awesome, great moves, thanks for posting, it is very enjoying

[StriderMx001]

amazing dancer,  good movements

[ziagirl]

This has got to be the coolest dance I have ever seen!!!!! I LOVE IT!!! I've already watched it like 5 times in a row, going to watch it so much more! Thanks for posting!

[Amythielwow]

ça à rien a voir avec des danse apache il en faudrait des vrais ki le montre c tellement plus jolie et ça parle bien pluss ke ça là sur la vidéo , j'ai jamais vu un seul indien danser ainsi -_- c'est triste pour eux

[music1M]

Now that is dancing!

[nachise51]

This is NOT an Apache Crown dance, and he is not a Ga'an. This is Prairie Chicken Dancing!

[cheytea]

Hmm...I have seen some Chiricahua(sp?) dancing, and it is very similar to this...so i'm not sure whether to believe it's just chicken dancing and/or Apache dancing style...hmmm...

[jinebro]

Look at that chicken get down! To the poster, in respect of the ones who've posted comments, CHANGE THE NAME TO CHICKEN DANCE DUDE! This is how "natives" get down, not "indians."

[tinkbell20]

Love watching them dance...I can get down with the best of 'em, but I don't have moves that smooth!

[bubzpowwow]

thats not apache or crow style is blackfeet style chicken dance

[Audge208]

He is dancing the crow style of dancing from Montana.  Good job though. I love the crow style of dancing awesome

[Odawak]

haha, thats not a apache ndn dancer; hes probably a northern tribe;...but hes jammin. good chicken dance moves

[susansmorton]

the apache rock,,they never were beaten they surrendered there is a difference. the dance is hypnotic,,blessings be susanwhitestar

[pOwWoWfreak81]

thats called bein beaten...they surrendered cause they were beaten..ur thinkin of seminoles

[femoman]

Nice stuff, this. Very useful for me, since I'm doing an art project involving a sort of indigenous trance-dance. My research eventually led me to this, which is awesome. But mine will probably be alot simpler, like some basic steps, and arm movements, and leg-slides, and suchlike,

[deniseobx252]

Man, you need to go to powwow, then you will know this is not a "trance." For all your money, all your degree, YOU ARE IGNORANT and STUPED.

[SaboCatGirl]

btw, that isn't an Apache crown dancer...it's not even an Apache dance at all. That is a chicken dancer.

[1waygang]

aztec pride much respect to da native americans

[Kigonja]

Wow..I can Imagine the martial arts they had back in the day! The dance is so alive similar to all people of color footwork...our battle skills too must of been amazing.

[ginsushark]

FightForChangeNow - white people watching think - thats some awesome dancing. world history is filled with empires expanding in waves. even central american civilizations expanded and made war on weaker neighbors. there was a power vaccum 500 years ago and some white people exploited it. its hard to imagine theworld 500 years ago. im sure it was a fkd up place.  the world has so many problems and genocides now and no solutions.

[geroldine54]

that isn't apache crown dance...thats chicken dance....duh!!!!!!

[Scabzilla49]

I agree with you!

[Roddy905]

Dude! You are awesome! Great work.

[amywalkerartist]

my friend brody is a crown dancer., this is much more powerful in person

[razldazl080]

absolutely beautiful...kinda sad tho that this Expressionism of thier spirit and beliefs thru dance is now done as entertainment for us. My great great grandmother was full blood cherokee. My great great grandfather refused to call her by her indian name and renamed her Sarah. I am proud to say I have a small amt of indian in me.  May their spirits dance forever.

[mereanataki]

One day We will realise not only is their only One God their is also only One family of humanity. This does not justify the suffering or atrocities of the past, nor does is justify maintaining that violence in our own thoughts and reactions. It is what it is...and We have the power You and me everywhere to choose Spiritual hygiene in our every thought and aware moment. May the Creator bless our focus and attention with Self Love, Care and Awareness. Aho!

[MariaViridiana18]

@mereanataki wow you just summed up everything i was thinking in this short paragraph. I completely agree :D

[mamy101]

Very well done.Great dancing.

[Alix84]

Beautiful dance, This is amazing, I'm Mexican, and I really like all the things about our ancestors, I mean all of us have a little o a big portion of Native, So is interesting learn how the lived and do in these times

[amixofeverything]

@Alix84 Most Mexicans have at least some Indian blood in them. My baby nephew is half-Mexican, half Indian. Probably more because his mom is Mestizo.

[FightForChangeNow]

I wonder if any of the white people watching are thinking about if there great great grandparents took part in the genocide of a good people. Now we tell mexicans they are illegal aliens and not welcome HA! With that mindeset us whites should go back to europe, mexicans are just as american as we are. Peace

[mellyjaz]

so this is where the crip walk start from??

[latinromeo84]

one word...nice!

[LCP13]

That is Clinton Croff of the Blackfeet Tribe Of Montana.

[spindle7]

what an awesome dancer

[wolfpaw999]

i agree but its not apache

[drohegda]

viktoriauk this dance is absolutely beautiful. i wonder if his rythm and his dance is from watching things in nature such as birds. his rythm is strictly native u.s. indian. his cadence. thank you!!! drohegda

[dreamkeeperpaula]

it's not crown dance!!

It's chicken dance!!!!!!!!

[wolfpaw999]

thats mean! our people shall not be compared to chickens. we dance to the rythem of the earth not to chickens!

[tshiki06]

it doesn't mean that anyone is camparing anyone to a chicken, he is mimicking a pairie chicken. that's why it's called the chicken dance.

[sonoacqua]

its really amazing dance, full of expression and emotions, so please stop be such an ignorant
