Detailed explanation-1: -The purpose of the dance was to call on the spirit world for help in their hunting, and to call the buffalo herd closer to them. Plains Indians believed this would bring them good luck and ensure a successful hunt. The Buffalo Dance was as important as the sending out of scouts to find the buffalo herd.
Detailed explanation-2: -Three Sioux Indians in full regalia perform a “buffalo dance", while two others use drums to supply a rhythm. The three dancers move around in a circle as they perform the various actions that are part of the dance. All three wear feathers in their headbands and two wear decorative tails.
Detailed explanation-3: -Buffalo Dance is an 1894 black-and-white silent film from Edison Studios, produced by William K. L. Dickson with William Heise as cinematographer. Filmed on a single reel, using standard 35 mm gauge, it has a 16-second runtime. The film was shot in Edison’s Black Maria studio at the same time as Sioux Ghost Dance.
Detailed explanation-4: -The buffalo hunt was the means by which Plains and Métis peoples acquired their primary food resource until the collapse of the buffalo, or bison, herds in the 1880s. The hunt was crucial to sustaining the fur trade activity that precipitated and supported European settlement.
