Naat'sii'liid means "Rainbow" and the reason becomes apparent when they first reveal their colorful and very authentic regalia! At the beat of a single hand-held drum, they perform traditional Navajo dances such as "Basket", "Ribbon" and social dances. These types of dances go to the very root of Navajo culture and for most visitors are hard to find anywhere else but on the Navajo reservation during private ceremonies.

Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Maps ... World Civilizations Encyclopedia of North American Indians Religion The phenomena referred to by the term Native American religions For instance, among the Ni U Konska Some would argue that the so-called vision quest is evidence of the quintessential individualism of Plains Indian peoples. However, just the opposite can be argued, because in Plains cultures the individual is always in symbiotic relationship with the community. This ceremony involves personal sacrifice: rigorous fasting (no food or liquids) and prayer over several days (typically four to seven) in a location removed from the rest of the community. Yet in a typical rite of vigil or vision quest, the community or some part of the community assists the individual in preparing for the ceremony and then prays constantly on behalf of the individual throughout the ceremony. Thus by engaging in this ceremony, the individual acts on behalf of and for the good of the whole community. Even when an individual seeks personal power or assistance through such a ceremony, he or she is doing so for the ultimate benefit of the community. In God Is Red Indian peoples, then, tend to locate sacred power spatially—in terms of places or in terms of spatial configuration. This is in stark contrast to European and Euro-American religious traditions, which tend to express spirituality in terms of time: a regular hour on Sundays and a seasonal liturgical calendar that has become more and more distanced from any sense of the actual flow of seasons in particular places and is therefore both more abstract and more portable than Native American traditions. In the Southern Hemisphere, for instance, Christians celebrate Lent (named for springtime and the lengthening of the days) and Easter during the antipodean autumn. It would be an exaggeration to argue that Indian peoples have no sense of time or that Europeans have no sense of space. Rather, spatiality is a dominant category of existence for Native Americans whereas time is a subordinate category. Just the opposite is generally true for European peoples.

World Civilizations Encyclopedia of North American Indians Origins: Native American Perspectives The concepts of our origins and of how animals and spirit beings assist humans are reflected in the ways in which any group of human beings looks upon their place in the universe and their relationship to the world of spirits and animals. These concepts appear to be very nearly worldwide in scope. They give rise to stories of the great flood, of the twins, of Mother Earth, and of the first man and woman—themes running through the origin stories of nearly all Native American cultures. Some cultures tell of having been brought into existence by the creator; others believe they originated in the womb of Mother Earth. Common to all are animal and spiritual assistants, who, it is said, helped them through the trials and tribulations of their origins. Consider the three very basic and yet quite diverse origin stories that follow. According to the Zunis: In the beginning, here were no humans in this world.

NativeTech: Native American Technology and Art. NATIVE AMERICAN BEADWORK Beads and Pendants of the Eastern Forest ~Meaning in Native American Life~ Beauty aside, wearing or presenting jewelry had many social, economic, political and religious implications for the Native Americans of the 1600ís in southern New England. Jewelry was used to show connection with a particular group. Beads validated treaties and were used to remember oral tradition, as well as for exchange and currency. There were many ritual aspects of beads and pendants used in ceremonies of dance, curing and sacrifice. Jewelry was also used in many ërites of passageí which individuals passed through in their lives. Personal Aesthetics: Native Americans in New England, especially young women, enhanced their dress with beads and pendants. Wampum beads were treasured possessions and elaborate types and large amounts of jewelry were worn. Native American women, however, were considered less vain than European women. Besides jewelry, beads decorated clothing or were inlaid into objects of wood for aesthetic beauty. Wampum inlaid wooden items included tomahawk handles, pendants, and native bread mixing bowls. Group Identity: Among many northeastern tribes, individuals acquired a spiritual totem at adolescence, often a mammal, snake, bird, claw, tooth or other animal part which was henceforth carried with that individual. Personal totems often coincided with those of a personís family, clan or society. Jewelry was a means for Native Americans to show they belonged to that group. A male catís head wrapped in trade cloth was one such totem. Totems were used in divination and to ensure opportunity. Native Americans wore beads and pendants to show ingredients in their social lives, economic and political concerns, and in beliefs of cosmology and religion.

Commonly Asked Questions What is Pow Wow? Pow Wows are social gatherings of hundreds of Native Americans who follow dances started centuries ago by their ancestors and that continually evolve to include contemporary aspects. These events of feasting, drum music and dance are attended by Natives and non-Natives, all of whom join in the dancing and take advantage of the opportunity to see old friends and teach the traditional ways to a younger generation. They also serve to unite Indians. "One of the things the federal government did in the dog days of adverse Indian policy was to separate us Indian communities from one another," says West, Director of the NMAI. "Pow Wows are a powerful contemporary device for getting together as Indians; and, in that respect, they are a potent cultural and social connector among contemporary Indian communities."

Native american dance: traditional dances When attending Pow Wow you will see many traditional dancers. This article will highlight the Native American Traditional Dance. Many people who have attended American Indian Pow Wows are familiar with the traditional dances that take place in the sacred circle. The dancers will take to the Pow Wow arena and perform dances related to the American Indian culture. Men and women alike participate in these dances. American Indian "Traditional Dances" are for both men and women to participate in. The "Traditional Dance" is one of the most spectacular that you will witness at Pow Wow events. Since the days when warriors would act out their acomplishments, traditional dance has played a major role in American Indian dance. In men's traditional dance, a story of bravery, or the story of the hunt is acted out. Traditionally the men would come home from their venture and act out their accomplishments to the villagers. This form of storytelling has been handed down for centuries. These stories are still acted out in the form of traditional dancing on the Pow Wow circuit today. With the traditional dance comes responsibility. Each dancer must assemble regalia by traditional means. The dancer must procure eagle feathers as well as animal sinew. Bones and animal skins are also used to assemble the dance regalia. Each item must be obtained in traditional American Indian fashion much like the ancestors did centuries ago. Each of the items must be blessed before using in the regalia because these items are sacred.

Native American music From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. There are hundreds of tribes of Native Americans (called the First Nations in Canada), each with diverse musical practices, spread across the United States and Canada (excluding Hawaiian music ). However, according to Bruno Nettl (1956, p.107, Music in Primitive Culture ), "almost every trait occurs in every culture to some degree." These commonalities exist, however, and are part of a shared folk musical tradition. More recently, Native Americans have developed distinct rock blues hip hop and reggae scenes, as well as popular pan-tribal styles like waila chicken scratch Native American/First Nation music United States and Canada Pan-tribal genres Chicken scratch Ghost Dance Hip hop Native American flute ...

About CSP Site Map Search CSP: A Brief History of the Native American Church by Jay Fikes from One Nation Under God Veneration of the small spineless cactus called peyote probably began immediately after the first hunter-gatherers discovered its remarkable effects. The Native American deification of the plant is estimated to be about 10,000 years old. Peyote cactus buttons uncovered in Shumla Cave in southern Texas have been radiocarbon dated to 5,000 B.C. The Huichol Indians of northwestern Mexico still use peyote sacramentally. Their peyote pilgrimage may have been in place by 200 A.D. Scholars consider it the oldest sacramental use of peyote in North America. Huichols revere Peyote as the heart, soul, and memory of their Creator, Deer-Person. Huichol healers and singers achieve such union with their Creator, as incarnated in Peyote, that Peyote speaks through them, as here: If you come to know me intimately, you shall be like me and feel like I do. Although you may not see me, I shall always be your elder brother. I am called the flower of Deer-Person. Have no fear, for I shall always be the flower of God.(1) Deer-Person, the supreme teacher of the Huichol, teaches songs, reveals himself to shamanic healers through his Peyote spirit, and punishes those who violate his moral precepts. "It is because of the wisdom of Deer-Person," we are told, "that shamans exist. That is how we Huichols are able to diagnose diseases with our visionary ability and soul, which are the eyes of Deer-Person. That is our method of curing."(2)
