Shoshone Male Dance, Charles Washakie, son of Chief Washakie, Shoshone, Sioux Indian Painting, Plate XIX. Shoshone dance particpated in only by the men. Brilliant attire, with full ornament is sought by each participant, and teh dance is the occasion of much gift-giving. The wolf is a warrior symbol for many of the Great Plains tribes, and itis probable that this dance was originally an appeal to the wolf spirit as tutelary of those who would follow the trail in war. Today it is primarily a social dance. Painting on muslim. (Collection of C.A. Carter, Los Angeles, to whom it was presented by the artist.)
