This was a public dance held at a public university with no restrictions on video taping for educational or non-profit purposes. This is not a ceremonial dance held at a ceremonial grounds, nor is a fire being used.
wado... demonstration or not I needed the sounds :) I havnt been able to attend one in a while and really needed to hear it, the feeling is not as deep but again it helped
im a creek soldier to the fullest, this is how we get down on the east side of the state. i see alot of kinfolk on here, big love to my gma lena proctor, i see her in this video
I love Indian stiompdance I am a ketowah I belong too stokes stomp ground I speak fluent Cherokee been going stompdances since I was a little girl my grand pa was Chief of stompdances at sugarmountan I love listening to the dances
I'm as well Creek and Crow from my Dad's side along with Cherokee from my Mom's side. Grandfather was full blooded Cherokee. America needs to bring back the traditions of the Native American Indian.
All my life I was raised around this going to stomp-dance, my fathers first language is creek. My clan is Eco (Deer). We usually arrive to our scared land blessed by our elders with medicine and we prepare in our each respective camps that each family and related families owns. We usually stay for a week and we eat good food, share stories, play games and get together with family and friends before we finally start dancing at night and we dance until the sunrises. It’s definitely a unique and wonderful culture I’ve grown up in but I wouldn’t trade it for the world.
I love this. I never saw this before and I'm taking a music class right now and there's a song on the CD by the Cherokee Indians called Stomp Dance. Well, as soon as I heard it, I felt amazing inside and was drawn to it. This is a beautiful ritual. I really love this.
Thank you! We value who we are and I'm grateful someone is learning the difference. Pow wows originally weren't our thing until the panindianism movement, which ultimately backfired. Regardless, wado(thank you) for your interest.

@@tashiepoo430 True statement about the Pan Indianism. It's worst in the United States than I have seen in any other country south of it. Other places in the continent of Abya Ayala (Americas) generally have specific cultural practices and heritages that are genuinely distinct and varied. But In the United States, it has gotten to a place where everyone dresses up in very similar regalia or outfits and has to have a "pow-wow," in order to be an "Indian" which in turn has the same formulaic aesthetic and sound. Ultimately, it makes the whole thing appear disingenuous. From my own experience, the people who have received the worst end of the Pan Indian stuff are the peoples whose origins are from the Southeastern Woodlands (east of the Mississippi River). Their old cultures either get pushed aside or outright buried because they don't fit the mold of what "Indians" are in the United States. Yet I have witnessed dances and songs in Mexico or Bolivia, for example, and they are indigenous and varied and no one is policing it with a Pan-Indian ideology. What has happened in the U.S. is devastating and toxic.
So I saw my friend playing assassins 3 and I was listening to the music in the back ground and I knew I heard it from some were, then I remembered, I was looking at Muscogee creek videos and songs and I watched this. Its the same very cool to see Muscogee music in a game.
Thanks for giving the background info on this dance. I first heard of stomp dance on Beyond Bows and Arrows on KNON 89.3. It reminded me of some of the old Catholic chants I heard as a kid. Where the priest leads, and the alter servers/parishioners follow. But there's no rattles. Here in Texas, the big thing seems to be gourd dance. Which is fun to watch, though folks who are used to seeing the flashy smoke and exhibition dancers say it's too boring. IDK.
I can't attend anywhere anymore because my Grounds are gone.. long, ugly story. I no longer live in Oklahoma either, so I can't go to any other. I'm glad to find something to watch and listen to because there is a lonely place in my heart for this. I can't really object to it being taped and posted. It makes me just a tiny bit less sad and disconnected.
Syed T when i was little i could dance every single dance and never get tired...now that I'm an old mama with a bad back i have to dance 1 and sit out a few to rest lmao
its not a chant they are singing. but if you have to ask, then you shouldnt have even signed up to do the presentation. it is not something to show off to get a good grade. it is a culture for the muscogee creek ppl that take pride in doing.
@brianasmith88 To me it sounds derogatory because the dance isn't really stomping. The word stomp isn't in the Muscogee Creek or Seminole language. I don't know where the word stomp dance originated. Could have possibly originated from a non native. MVTO
Depends on time of year. If you see such a thing in July chances are it's part of the Busk, which is a ceremony asking for good corn yield as it ripens.
Unfortunately, you are wrong on this one. Recorders were permitted and encouraged at this public dance so people could learn about and teach about authentic American Indian music. We know when to record and when not to record. We know to ask if it is ok. We know what we should and should not do. We have respect for the WAYS. But, you seem to be out of step with our reality. Good wishes to you to preserve your own ways. Wisdom comes with learning where you are and what is going on. Mvto.
Mvtooo! for posting this stomp , this is a great way to share our culture, its not about money , its about sharing ,teaching & fellowship !
This is a fun social dance for everyone to enjoy! I'm glad the stomps are still around.
I have done stop dance since I was 3.I don't know why but I always get excited to see stomp dances out there.
So nice to see and hear this, even from afar!!

Thanks for sharing the video as a 4th generation Creek Indian, I looking for more ways to learn about the Creek Indian culture.

If you’re Creek, then you’re more than 4th Generation. Our people have existed for many, MANY generations.
Thanks for the input. I love the dancing and hope to dance this summer at powwow.
First Peoples LIVE!!🙏❤️🙏

MVTO FOR THE STOMP !
Like the video but they don't seem to stomp, just step. Good leader though.
But what was it for? A dance to bring rain and good crops, just a dance of happiness and thanks, or to bring victory in war or what? Just curious?
U will never know, Boy
It's for u that I don't kick your Ass!!!!!!

This was a time to gather amongst each other to stay up all night during ceremonies
Yes. MVTO!
You are welcome!
