@BabySketti Sexyprqueen is right. The dance evolved from the game. Not wanting to get on your bad side, just gettin' that out there. Tuhtuwas translates to the tuft of pine needles on the end of a bough (the pine tip). The dance reflects the dancing of the pine tips in the game.

@BabySketti, sorry your but your wrong!!! Tuthtuwas is not only a womans dance, it also is the name of a game children on the rez use to play many years ago!!! they would stand the pine tip upright on its points on a board or on top of a table, which is lightly tapped to make the pine tip move, while the song was sung. whoever had the last pine tip standing won the game and it was repeated
!!! ;)
