| The Athapaskan-speaking Native Americans of the North American Plains, also known as the Kiowa-Apache, are located predominantly in Oklahoma. As with many other Native American peoples, this group has powwows every year celebrating traditional dances, songs, and customs. Many of these dances, which feature singing and drumming, are associated with societal functions such as hunting, war, and harvest. The snake dance, heard in this example, serves as the introduction to the war dance and is a chain dance with a running stomp. |
