“the story of the jingle dress. A girl was sick, and her father feared she would not recover. He sought a vision and it came to him: a dress for her, with rows of jingles made from tin cones that clinked melodically when she danced. The more she danced, the more she healed. Once she was all better, she continued to dance, to heal others in her community. The Jingle Dance represents healing. And the red dress symbolizes our women.”
