Fancy Feather Dance, Boy’s Division

boys fancy feather dancer
Boy’s Fancy Feather dancer from the National Pow Wow in 2007 in Washington DC. These boy’s had tremendous regalia and were a pure joy to watch. This boy is seen from behind, which shows off his bustles. The fancy feather dance is an innovation, it was added to competitive dancing relatively recently because pow wow dancers wanted a more showy dance, and one that could cross traditions more readily than ones with varied roots in different Native American peoples.
