YEARS OLD AND I AM TSUUT'INA.

Ansen says MY COMMUNITY IS RIGHT
NEXT TO CALGARY, ALBERTA.

He rides a chocolate brown horse and says THIS IS GORGEOUS AND
SHE'S 6 YEARS OLD.
I LOVE TO RIDE HER
BECAUSE SHE'S SO CALM.
I USED TO RIDE HORSES WHEN I
WAS 10 AND THEN MY GRANNY AND MY
AUNTIE AND MY BROTHER AND SISTER
TAUGHT ME HOW TO RIDE BAREBACK
WITH NO SADDLE AND BACK IN
THE DAY THEY DIDN'T HAVE NO
MATERIALS TO BUILD A SADDLE SO
THAT'S WHY THEY USE BLANKETS.
THEY DIDN'T HAVE NO
CARS OR NO BIKES.
NO AIRPLANES.
THEY WOULD USE HORSES TO
GET EVERYWHERE THEY'D GO.
I LOVE TO FOLLOW MY TRADITION
AND WHEN YOU WANT TO GO FAST YOU
HOLD THE REINS UP AND YOU START
KICKING AND THEN WHILE IT'S
RUNNING YOU SQUEEZE TIGHT
WITH YOUR LEGS SO YOU STAY ON.
IT REALLY FEELS
EXCITING WHEN I RIDE.
I FEEL LIKE THERE'S
CONNECTION WITH MY HORSE.
THE WORD IN TSUUT'INA
FOR HORSE IS ISK'L I.
ISK'L I, HORSE.
THIS IS MY HOUSE.

THE FOOTWORK IS HOW A CHICKEN,
HOW IT WALKS.
(DRUMMING AND SINGING)
WHEN YOU DANCE YOU
HAVE TO LIKE MOVE EVERYTHING
AND THEN YOU HAVE TO
LIKE MOVE YOUR ARMS.
MOVE YOUR HEAD.
I LOVE THE CHICKEN DANCE BECAUSE
WHEN I DANCE IT MAKES ME FEEL
GOOD AND I DANCE FOR MY
LATE GRANDMA AND GRANDPA,
MY LATE AUNTIES AND UNCLES
AND THE PEOPLE THAT ARE IN THE
HOSPITAL.
IT'S A HEALING DANCE.
IN THE OLD DAYS THEY USED TO
HAVE THE SICK PEOPLE IN THE
MIDDLE OF THE POW WOW AND THE
CHICKEN DANCERS WOULD COME AND
DANCE IN FRONT OF THEM AND
IT WOULD JUST HEAL THEM.
(DRUMMING AND SINGING)
