One of the most well-known social dances is the Smoke Dance, a traditional dance of the Hodinohsho:ni people. Originally derived from the War Dance, it was performed exclusively by men and featured fast-paced movements meant to showcase their agility and endurance. Over time, women developed their own distinct version of the dance, adding a unique style to the tradition.Some stories have emerged about how the Smoke Dance got its name. According to one account, the dancers’ rapid spinning in tight circles is thought to mimic the way smoke swirls and rises.Join us at the Woodland Cultural Centre for our Annual Smoke Dance Celebration and Indigenous Vendor Market happening Saturday, August 16, 2025 from 11am - 4pm!#WoodlandCulturalCentre #Indigenous #IndigenousVoices #IndigenousArt #IndigenousLanguages #FirstNations #IndigenousKnowledge #IndigenousCulture #Brantford #Giving #SixNations #education #DidYouKnow ...
