A CEREMONIAL DANCER
The woman in the Sun-Buffalo Pueblo Ceremonial
is painted by Wo Peen, Indian artist from New
Mexico, as one of the murals in the "Pueblo of
the Seven Fires" at the YMCA College Freshman
Camp, Springfield, Massachusetts. The dancer has
the beautiful sun symbol on her back with eagle
tail feathers representing the sun's rays.
Blue-the
sky. Red-heat. Yellow-sunshine. Orange-the glow
of the sun's rays.
In her hands and hair are sacred
eagle plumes. The down of the eagle is used as
snow on the hair. The dress is hand woven and
symbols are in the embroidered border. Skunk
skins are
worn over the buckskin leggins at the
ankle to protect her spirit from the effect of evil
spirits that exist in the earth.
