The Indigenous community of America celebrates the Sun Dance Festival. Describe it.
- A sacred ceremony primarily practiced by Plains tribes, focusing on renewal and spiritual connection.
- Involves fasting, dancing, and often physical endurance challenges, symbolizing sacrifice and community.
- Serves as a rite of passage and a way to seek healing and blessings for the community.
Picture Description:
Usually the ceremony was practiced at the summer solstice, the time of longest daylight and lasts for four to eight days. Typically, the Sun Dance is a grueling ordeal, that includes a spiritual and physical test of pain and sacrifice. This ritual usually—but not always—involves piercing rawhide thongs through the skin and flesh of a dancer’s chest with wooden or bone skewers. The thongs are tied to the skewers then connected to the central pole of the lodge. The Sun Dancers dance around the pole leaning back to allow the thongs to pull their pierced flesh. The dancers do this for hours until the skewered flesh finally rips. The Sun Dance is also a rite of passage to manhood.
