Indian Dances of North America: Their Importance to Indian Life, although a dated (1989) approach to understanding the many varieties of Native American dances, this volume published by the University of Oklahoma Press remains a handy reference guide. Reginald and Gladys Laubin have presented numerous demonstrations, seminars, and lectures about the various dance forms among the Indigenous Nations of North America. In addition to the descriptions of the dances, the regalia, the body decorations, and the musical accompaniment, the Laubins give their opinions on dances and dance styles throughout the book. Photographs of the Laubins wearing regalia also appear in this book.
