You know, some of us stomped over in the big sandbox, too there were Soldiers and Marines doing it together. Sometimes, you've just got to stomp and renew yourself.
Umm... the dancers were aware of the video tapes and were performing in public. The dance is sacred not secret. And the others there respectfully kept their distance so what are you complaining about?
Wvto is Wado using the Mvskoke alphabet. They were trying to represent themselves and show respect to our Cherokee brothers and sisters at the same time.
We speak an Iroquoian language. The old storeis say we're come from the north and went to the SE. I've heard many different variations of it tho. But i do have a friend in Canada that's Iroquois, and we understand each other pretty well.

The stomp dance takes me back to the pow-wow grounds in Tulsa,OK in 1983

Yes! I was 7 yr old in 83’ and remember going to powwows at Gilcrease hills. Was beautiful.
Stomp and pow wow are very different. Our stomp grounds and pow wow grounds are also different locations

This stomp dance doesnt look too much different from the one done by their Northern Iroquois sisters and brothers as well.

Stomp dancing has been with us in the South since we were Moundbuilders. It's to honor the ones before to tell them we carry their flame forward.
Could the other firefighters not join in?
Yes if they wanted too the songs and dancing are celebrating the creator but it seem they wanted to just watch I guess
if the others are not any kind of native they can’t join
Gotta love those Cherokee leaders. They dance faster than the Creeks that I shake for.
LOL. New Tulsa?
No daksis...........
