Would you do any type of ritual or dance to help you win a battle? Well the Dakota Indians would. They would perform war dances. These dances were performed to make sure the warriors would win the battle. They would help bond the warriors and to help them focus on fighting in the upcoming battle with their enemies. They were performed by the warriors fighting who wore ceremonial clothes and special symbols by singing and dancing. Whether it was a small battle or large battle, they would perform the dances. It gave them a better chance of winning.
