The 1980's saw a revival of this traditional style
of dance from the Blackfoot Confedaracy.it was almost gone untill the Blackfoots brought it backand now today it has become a regular dance
event at pow wows across North America. The outfit of the dancer varies widely
but most often it includes a feather bustle fastened around the dancers hips
and a porcupine hair roach. Fans, dance sticks, hoops, rattles, and some animal
pelts are also regularly worn as part of the chicken dancer's regalia. Like all
pow wow dances, the prairie chicken style varies widely across different tribes
and according to the tastes of the individual dancer. Traditionally, the dance
is a simulation of the courtship dance of the prairie chicken. It is a full
body dance that incorporates the head, shoulders, arms, hips, and legs. But
good chicken dancing is also about attitude. Attracting a mate means strutting
your stuff and trying to win the attention of the opposite sex. It is also not
uncommon at modern pow wows to see prairie chicken dance moves incorporated
into grass dance styles. it is also for all ages.

The Siksika Nation is a First
Nation in southern Alberta, Canada. The name Siksiká comes from the Blackfoot words sik (black) and iká
(foot), with a connector s between the two words. The plural form of
Siksiká is Siksikáwa. The Siksikáwa are the northernmost of
the Niitsítapi (Original People), all of whom speak dialects of
Blackfoot, an Algonquian language.
When European explorers travelled west, they most likely met the
Siksiká first and assumed all Niitsítapi of the Blackfoot
Confederacy were Blackfoot, which is incorrect. The four
Niitsítapi nations of the Blackfoot Confederacy are the Siksiká,
Káínaa (Kainai or Blood), Aapátohsipikáni (Northern Peigan), and Aamsskáápipikani (South Peigan or Montana Blackfoot). The
approximate population of the Siksika Nation, as of 2009, is 6,000 people.[1]
