Scope note:

Defined as a dance performed at Native North American powwows, primarily by men. The dance consists of movements and steps close to the ground to mimic hunting or tracking movements. Likely originated in the 19th century from the Omaha Dance performed by Omaha, Ponca, Kaw, Kiowa, and Pawnee communities.
