行脚美国，行脚那片天

　　Women’s dance contests usually include the jingle dance in which each participant wears a dress decorated with seven layers of metallic chimes. The contestants perform an animated dance that keeps their metallic baubles rhythmically jingling. The scarf dance features contestants wearing dresses and shawls decorated with elaborate beadwork and paintings while performing graceful soaring birdlike movements.
　　
　　Men compete in highly animated and stylized adaptations of traditional war dances such as the grass dance and the fancy dance. Their dance attire is spectacularly elaborate. Outfits for the fancy dance include colorfully beaded garments elaborately decorated with feathers or furs and prominently featuring two large feather bustles on the back. Each outfit is highly individualized with tribal and personal elements.
　　
　　In addition to the dance contests, a powwow typically includes one or more exhibition dances or communal dances in which everyone is invited to participate. The Kiowa gourd dance was performed at the Gathering of Nations. It is a ceremony honoring the warriors and the esteemed elders of the tribes.
