Description
Native Americans dances were used during celebrations of Marriages, birthdays, and other gatherings, but in the 1920s and 1930s Native American religious dance was outlawed in the United States and Canada. During this time the Tribes had to create new dances that could be performed in public. In the late 1920s a new dance style called Fancy dance appeared, it was created by two young boys of the Midwestern Ponca tribe. Fancy dance is very energetic and colorful and it was a hit with the audiences. In the late 1930s women began fancy dancing wearing the same regalia as the men, but Women's fancy dancing declined during the 1950s. A decade later the dance reappeared as the Women's Fancy Shawl dance.
Today Fancy dance, Woman's Fancy Shawl dance along with traditional dances like the Grass dance are perform at Pow Wows across North America.
-------------------
In the image the dancer is wearing a mix and match fantasy costume instead of the normal regalia, the shawl is a dynamic cloth but it lacked a fringe. To create one I used Wings 3D to extruded every other edge to make this simple fringe.

I have a question: Are Native American religious dances still outlawed in the U.S. or in Canada?

Thank you for your comment and Good question, Canada lifted its ban in 1951 but in the United States the it wasn't lifted until 1970.
