The owner of this jewelry, RT, was a 100% Sac and Fox Nation member who was an avid fancy dancer. Fancy Dancing is loosely based on war dancing but considered appropriate to perform in public. Today fancy dancers perform at many powwows across the North American continent and the world. A big part of powwows are the craft tables and tents that members set up to sell items they or other family or friends have made. RT was a fancy dancer for many years and she also had a booth at powwows. When RT passed away, her family was left with the items from her many years participating in powwows. After gifts were shared with her 6 step children and 11 step grandchildren, we purchased the rest and offer it to you. |
