Story of Jingle Dress

a young girl was sick and gave no signs of recovering. Her distraught father, offered his tobacco and prayed for the Creator's assistance. Assistance came by way of a dream, in which the father was shown how to create this dress and instructed about a dance that would accompany the dress. Upon waking, he set about making the dress and put it on his daughter so that she would dance as he had been instructed to show her. In spite of her illness, she was somehow able to dance and as the dance progressed, she became stronger and was relieved of her illness.

A sacred obligation is carried by women who wear this dress as Jingle dress dancers are often called upon to dance for a sick or injured community member or to help families who are grieving. The metal cones that adorn the dress were originally made from snuff tin lids and create a beautiful sound when the dancer is moving. The spiritual power of the dress is said to originate as an energy which emanates from the sound of the cones that sing out to the spirits as the dancer moves in time with the drum.
************************* German ************************************
Ein junges Mädchen war sehr krank und zeigte keinerlei Zeichen der Besserung.
Ihr besorgter Vater opferte seinen Tabak und bat den Schöpfer um Beistand.
Dieser kam in Form eines Traums, in dem der Vater unterwiesen wurde dieses Kleid herzustellen und wie man damit tanzen soll. Nachdem er erwachte, nähte er sofort dieses Kleid, zog es seiner Tochter an und ließ sie trotz ihrer Krankheit tanzen, so wie es ihm im Traum gezeigt worden war.
Obwohl sie so schwach war, schaffte sie es irgendwie zu tanzen und während sie tanzte wurde sie stärker und stärkster und war schließlich geheilt.
Eine heilige Verpflichtung obliegt den Frauen, die dieses Kleid tragen und darin tanzen.
Sie werden oft zu Kranken und Verletzten Gemeindemitgliedern gerufen,  um für sie zu tanzen oder um trauernden Familien zu helfen.
Die Metallgegenstände waren im Original Deckel von Schnupftabak-Dosen, die eine schönen Klang erzeugten, wenn die Tänzerin sich bewegt.
Die spirituelle Kraft dieser Kleider, so wird gesagt, kommt von den Klängen der Metallteile, welche zu den Geistern sprechen, während die Tänzerin sich zu den Trommeln bewegt
