The Stomp Dance is a ceremonial custom that contains spiritual and social meaning. Several tribes have a variation of the Stomp Dance which can be seen in Shawnee and Creek traditions. For the Cherokees, the dance is well-known and affiliated with the Green Corn Ceremony. This custom can be traced back to the
original capital of the Cherokees, Keetoowah, located in modern-day North Carolina.
