Straight dance

[2][3] In the 20th century, when several warrior societies began to dissolve, the purpose of the war dances changed.

[6] The Straight Dance regalia consists of a ribbon shirt, tab leggings, aprons, and a headdress (usually a roach or a turban).

These are decorated and accessorized with finger-woven garters, beaded belts, vests or bandoliers, German silver armbands, and scarfs.

One of the main features of the Straight Dance is an otter dragger, also referred as an otterhide, which hangs from the dancer's back and drags on the ground.

Straight dancers generally carry a fan, mirror board, or tail stick in their hands.
