Numaga Pow wow, 2005. Men doing Chicken Dance. Sadly we only got the last segment of the Chicken Dance.
The pow wow is named in honor of Numaga who was a Paiute chief. Numaga led the people during the Pyramid Lake Paiute Indian war. That was the last major conflict between whites and Indian people in the west. Numaga was a Peace Chief.
The Pow wow is held by the Reno Sparks Indian colony, which is made up of Paiute, Washoes and Shoshone people.
I was told that the Men's Chicken Dance imitates the Prairie Chicken which had a special dance to attract a mate. But if you have another version please explain it.
