giving historical information can be difficult for some. if we only accept any kind of good feelings experienced may be the most important aspect (see Kiowa Rabbit society, or Chancy Isaacs w/Percy Smoke p. 191/ Dance & Song Rituals of the Six Nations, 1968) dancepeace

@washingtonnative35 No change that I mean the rabbit dance was done with a rocking stomp.

Hey I dont know is anyone has said anything yet but the owl dance and the rabbit dance are not the same. and the owl dance was done with the arms behind the back and with a bit of a rocking stomp motion.

Do you know where I could find any information on Rabbit Dancing? There doesn't seem to be much information on the internet that I can find.
