Moccasin Dance - Earth Song - Ohwejagehka: Hadegaenage:

Format is the same as with Moccasin Dance BUT the songs are different
2 or more singers, usually about 6-10, in the middle, water drum and horn rattles
"Fish" step style of dancing
Single file, two men lead the dance, other men join in pairs
Women join the men, two at a time and join the line between the men so that the line eventually ends up as two men, two women, two men
Song changes beat and the men and women switch places, so that the women that started on the inside of two men, end up on the outside of two men
The song ends and the partners stay where they are until the next song, and they will switch places again, when the beat changes
