Apache Crown Dancers

Video of Apache Crown Dancers taken at the 2011 Navajo Nation Fair. These dancers are from White River Junction in Arizona, 30 miles from where I grew up. I have posted these videos for their cultural and enterainment value.

@shiidenzhoneshash oh wait! didnt apaches come from the north? and there are alot of songs that sound the same throughout all tribes....it doesnt mean that it belongs to a specific tribe..........

i love the danse and i do enjoy seeing the crown dancers- i am a navajo, but i didn't like the shouting. i thought it was disrespectful for people to scream and shout during the dance. Its not a show- it is a ceremonial danse. It is sad to see that in our generation, sacred dances are now being used for show- won't be long til yei bi cheiis will be performing at rodeos and everyone will be shouting. huh.........

These must be show crowns then. Because this sure isnt ceremony. . Even though Joe has a good voice.. that Shawump song is not a bird song nor is it Apache.. it comes from the Alaskan tribes and they sing it as they paddle in their canoes.. each time the word Shawump is said is a stroke of the paddle as was told to me by the Alaskan people. Joe is a crowd pleaser and a good singer and motivator.but maybe needs to research a little more culturally?
