THE JINGLE DRESS or ZHIIBAASHKA'IGAN: in the upper picture
Two tribes have versions of how the jingle dress came to be, the Mille Lacs Chippewa and the Whitefish Bay Ojibwa. The history is linked to the 1918 Spanish Influenza pandemic that was fatal for many. The Mille Lacs origin of the jinggle dress comes from a vision of a Midewinini or Medicine man. He had a daughter who was ill and not responding to his treatment. In his vison he saw four women wearing diffferent colored jingle dresses. He received instructions on how to make the jinggles for a dress for his daughter to wear to be cured. When the vison passed he told his wife and together they created a dress. He fashioned the jingles and she attached them to the dress. When done, it was put on the girl. She was too weak to walk so men carried her for the jingles to make their sounds and she recovered to the point that she could walk and make the jingles jingle herself. Word of this cure spread and was even adopted by tribes outside the Ojibwa Nation. The oral history at Whitefish Bay is very simular to Mille Lacs. An 8 year old named Maggie White became ill. Her Midewinini grandfather Pinasse, had dreams that told him how to make a jingle dress, which he did. When the ill girl put it on she was cured. It is claimed that the White Earth band shared the jingle dress with the Lakota to the west of them in the 1920s. The Glenbow Museum in Alberta displays a fine example of a jingle dress from the Day Star First Nation, Cree,ca.1950. In the 1980s the AIM movement led to the jingle dress to gaining national indegenious exposure and was adopted as an expression of indigenious spituallity, idenity, and protest. Around that time it was hugely embraced by the Navajo Nation. The jingle dress quickly evolved to become culturally significant apparal for the Ojibwa people and other peoples. Today, the Jingle dress dance is seen in both competition and traditional powwows across North America. The Red Lake jingle dress origin story in not available to share.
