OriginsThe Straight Dance is attributed to the Southern Plains tribes in Oklahoma. The Hethuska, a prominent war society of the Poncas, is commonly attributed with the creation of the dance; however, the Pawnee, Omaha, Osage, and Kiowa tribes have sometimes been credited with creating the dance.[2][3] In the 20th century, when several warrior societies began to dissolve, the purpose of the war dances changed. The Straight Dance evolved from these war dances as a way to keep the tradition and history.[2] DescriptionThe Straight Dance is considered to be more dignified or formal than other pow wow dances.[3][4] The general steps for the dance involve a "toe-heel" step where the dancer taps the ground with his toe on the first drum beat and then places his whole foot down on the second beat. The dance resembles a hunting or warring party and therefore the dancer must not dance backwards as that would symbolize a retreat from the enemy.[5] Instead they always dance clockwise around the circle. As a Southern dance, it is danced to a Southern Drum.[6] The Straight Dance regalia consists of a ribbon shirt, tab leggings, aprons, and a headdress (usually a roach or a turban). These are decorated and accessorized with finger-woven garters, beaded belts, vests or bandoliers, German silver armbands, and scarfs. One of the main features of the Straight Dance is an otter dragger, also referred as an otterhide, which hangs from the dancer's back and drags on the ground. It is normally decorated with medals, beadwork, ribbonwork, or feathers. Straight dancers generally carry a fan, mirror board, or tail stick in their hands.[3][5] References1. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.wyandotte-nation.org/community/tribal-heritage/pow-wow/dances/ | title=The Dances | publisher=Wyandotte Nation | accessdate=February 2, 2013}} 2. ^1 {{cite journal | title={{'}}We Don't Want Your Rations, We Want This Dance{{'}}: The Changing Use of Song and Dance on the Southern Plains | author=Ellis, Clyde | journal=The Western Historical Quarterly |date=Summer 1999 | volume=30 | issue=2 | pages=133–154 | doi=10.2307/970489}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite web | url=http://www.powwows.com/2011/07/straight-dancing/ | title=Straight Dancing | date=July 21, 2011 | accessdate=January 29, 2013 | author=G, Paul}} 4. ^{{cite journal | title=Pan-Indianism in Native American Music and Dance | author=Howard, James H. | journal=Ethnomusicology |date=Jan 1983 | volume=27 | issue=1 | pages=73 | doi=10.2307/850883}} 5. ^1 {{cite web | url=http://library.thinkquest.org/3081/straight.htm | title=Straight Dance | accessdate=January 15, 2013}} 6. ^{{cite web | url=http://digital.library.okstate.edu/encyclopedia/entries/D/DA008.html | title=Dance, American Indian | publisher=Oklahoma Historical Society | work=Encyclopoedia of Oklahoma History & Culture | accessdate=February 5, 2013 | author=Conlon, Paula | deadurl=yes | archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20121119131421/http://digital.library.okstate.edu/encyclopedia/entries/D/DA008.html | archivedate=November 19, 2012 | df= }} External links{{commons category|Straight Dance}}
