Title: Social Dances of the Lenape and Other North-Eastern Indian Tribes

URL: http://delawaretribe.org/blog/2013/06/26/social-dances/

Description: This website provides two writers’ perspectives about different dance forms practiced by Lenape, Shawnees, Delawares, Caddo, and Powhatan Tribes among others. The page provides a helpful table whereby a site visitor can learn about different dance names and dance-related references. The article authors indicate that, “The information in this article is just a beginning. It is our hope that our Indian people and the scholars will continue the research into these beautiful songs, and that they will be preserved for the future generations”. Though a single webpage, its content are highly thematically relevant to DanceMap as a perspective about dance often excluded from national narratives, and acts as a helpful starting point for an individual looking to learn more about any number of dance forms noted in the article.
