How do you figure those are hawk wing fans? *scratches head ~ and shrugs*
The "jingles" were originally made from tobacco tin lids, shaped by hand into a cone but now the jingles can be bought ready made. When the women dance, one foot must always be on the ground, unlike shawl dancers who leap and twirl. This is a healing dance. I really like how you've pictured these women, with the sweep of the line going by....I can almost hear them.
