Photo of Umi IMAN dancing at a powwow in Atlanta, Georgia. She is dancing the Jingle Dress Dance, wearing a sacred regalia known as the Jingle Dress. IMAN’s dress, like others of its kind, is adorned with rows of metallic cones that create sound as she moves. The Jingle Dress Dance is a healing dance that originated with the Ojibwe people and is now embraced across many Native communities. Another Jingle Dress dancer appears in the foreground, and the powwow arena is surrounded by spectators.
