Tailfeather Woman was a Dakota woman who is said to have given the Drum Dance to the Anishinaabe people.
The Drum Dance is a set of spiritual beliefs that center on Tailfeather Woman and her escape from the American military, after which she built a large drum while in hiding.
The religion spread throughout a large swathe of North America after about 1877.
The drum used in the Drum Dance is the forerunner of the large drum used in modern powwows.
