DESCRIPTORS *American Indian Culture; American Indian History; Cultural Activities; Cultural Education; *Cultural Enrichment; *Dance; Elementary Secondary Education; *Lakota (Tribe); Learning Activities; Sioux (Tribe); Theater Arts IDENTIFIERS Dance Companies; *Spirituality ABSTRACT This performance guide provides students with an introduction to Lakota Sioux history and culture and to the dances performed by the Lakota Sioux Indian Dance Theatre. The Lakota Sioux believe that life is a sacred circle in which all things are connected, and that the circle was broken for them in 1890 by the massacre at Wounded Knee. Only in recent timesis the circle becoming whole again as American Indians struggle to achieve self-determination and renew their heritage. Sioux legends and histories have been collected and published. Old skills are being used again. Dance is a central part of life, expressing belief in spirits, nature, and the relationship of all things to one another. Eight dances performed by the Lakota Sioux Indian Dance Theatre are described, along with their purposes and significance. The guide includes information about the dance company, pointers to enhance appreciation of the performance, suggestions for related student activities, and a list of related reading materials and videos.

  • The Lakota Sun Dance: a Composite View and Analysis
    Copyright © 1976 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. The Lakota Sun Dance: A Composite View and Analysis MICHAEL E.N4EL0DY The Lakota Sun Dance is the archetypal expression of western Sioux religious belief. In a sense, the dance is the public, ritualized manifestation of an understanding of reality that was shared among the group as a whole. In the context of a cosmological society, the dance represents the people's participation in the life of the cosmos itself. In this, the Sun Dance is similar to the rituals of other cosmological societies such as the Mesopotamian New Year's Festival.' The literature on the old form of the Sun Dance varies greatly in quality. Surprisingly, there are only four major accounts of the ritual. Anthropologists seem to have been preoccupied by questions regarding diffusion. There are, however, a plethora of short articles that typically record eyewitness experiences. Besides these works there are only derivative narratives, usually based upon the work of only one of the major commentators.^ 1. This article is based upon my dissertation, "The Sacred Hoop: The Way of the Chiiicahua Apache and Teton Lakota" (Ph.D. diss.. University of Notre Dame, 1976). Much of the information in this article was acquired on a research grant provided by the dean of the College of Aits and Letters, Professor Frederick Crosson, and the chairman of the Department of Government, George Brinkley. The cosmos is a whole in that the gods are included within its bounds, there is no concept of transcendence; see Henri Frankfort, et al.

    ANTHROPOLOGICAL PAPERS OF THE AMERICAN. MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY VOL. XVI, PART VII THE SUN DANCE OF THE PLAINS INDIANS: ITS DEVELOP- MENT AND DIFFUSION BY LESLIE SPIER NENV YORK PUBLISHED BY ORDER OF THE TRUSTEES 1921 THE SUN DANCE OF THE PLAINS INDIANS: ITS DEVELOP- MENT AND DIFFUSION. BY LESLIE SPIER. 451 PREFACE. Most Plains tribes had the sun dance: in fact, it was performed by all the typical tribes except the Comanche. Since the dance has not been held for years by some tribes, viz., Dakota, Gros Ventre, Sutaio, Arikara, Hidatsa, Crow, and Kiowa, the data available for a comparative study vary widely in value. The chief sources of information outside of this volume are the accounts by G. A. Dorsey for the Arapaho, Cheyenne, and Ponca; Kroeber for the Arapaho and Gros Ventre; Curtis for the Arikara; and Lowie and Curtis for the Assiniboin. There is no published informa- tion for the Fort Hall Shoshoni, Bannock, Kutenai, or Sutaio. So far as I am aware there has been no general discussion of the sun dance. Hutton Webster in his "Secret Societies" considers it, without giving proof, an initiation ceremony. It is the aim of the present study to reconstruct the history of the sun dance and to investigate the char- acter of the factors that determined its development. By a discussion of the distribution of traits-regalia, behavior, ideas of organization, and explanatory myths-it will be shown that the ceremony among all the tribes has grown chiefly by intertribal borrowing. It will be demon- strated further that the center of development has been in the central Plains among the Arapaho, Cheyenne, and Oglala, and that the original nucleus of sun dance rites probably received its first specific character at the hands of the Arapaho and Cheyenne, or of this couple and the Village tribes.

  • Ponca Societies and Dances by Alanson Skinner
    PONCA SOCIETIES AND DANCES BY ALANSON SKINNER PREFACE The Ponca (or, as they call themselves, P'uinka') are one of the five tribes of the Dhegiha group of the Siouan stock, and are closely related to the Omaha, Osage, Kansa, and Quapaw. The history of the Ponca traces their migration from the time of their traditional separation with the Omaha from the Osage and Kansa on the Missouri; whence they ascended a northern tributary to Minnesota, where they resided near the pipestone quarry until attacked by the Sioux and driven back southwest to Lake Andes, South Dakota. There the Omaha and Ponca traditions say they obtained their sacred pipes and their gentes originated. Eventually they settled on the Niobrara River and remained there until removed by the United States Government. In 1906 there were 225 Ponca in Nebraska and 600 in Oklahoma, near White Eagle and Ponca City, where the writer visited them in June and July, 1914. The following data are the result of two days' work with Charles Collins and Big-goose as informants. No claim for the completeness of these notes is suggested, and they are published at this time principally because there is so little known of Ponca culture and the material is needed for comparison. In material culture the Ponca are of the Plains type with leanings toward the Central Algonkin whom they probably once resembled. Old photographs and daguerreotypes, supplemented by descriptions received from my informants, go to show that at one time the two-piece open skirt woman's garment of Central Algonkin type was used, together with soft-soled moccasins.

  • The Southern Cheyenne from the North American Indian Volume 19
    From the World Wisdom online library: www.worldwisdom.com/public/library/default.aspx THE SOUTHERN CHEYENNE INTRODUCTION THE material in this section was prepared to supplement, so far as possible, that which appears in Volume VI of the work. The data for that volume were collected from the Northern Chey- enne in Montana, while the accompanying account is the result of studies conducted among the Southern Cheyenne in Oklahoma. No attempt has been made herein to include the history of the Cheyenne tribe, for to do so would be but to repeat facts and figures already given. The story of the strife between the Cheyenne and the whites is a tragic one of disaster alike to both sides, and anything but creditable to our own race; in fact it records one of the darkest pages in the history of our dealings with the Indians. It is customary to refer to these people as Northern Cheyenne and Southern Cheyenne, but ethnologically they are the same. Indeed the tribal separation came about so recently that no marked differ- ence in their culture has resulted. Societies existing in one group were maintained in the other. The one exception in connection with socie- ties and ceremonies is the institution of the sacred arrows. This tribal palladium, the bundle of the arrows, is in possession of the Southern Cheyenne; consequently, if a member of the northern group desires to give the Arrow rite, he must journey to the land of his southern broth- ers and enlist their cooperation in holding the ceremony. The Cheyenne, Blackfeet, and Arapaho compose that substantial part of the great Algonquian stock which at some prehistoric time commenced a westward migratory movement that ultimately took them to the Great Plains.

  • South Dakota History
    VOL. 41, NO. 1 SPRING 2011 South Dakota History 1 Index to South Dakota History, Volumes 1–40 (1970–2010) COMPILED BY RODGER HARTLEY Copyright 2011 by the South Dakota State Historical Society, Pierre, S.Dak. 57501-2217 ISSN 0361-8676 USER’S GUIDE Over the past forty years, each volume (four issues) of South Dakota History has carried its own index. From 1970 to 1994, these indexes were printed separately upon comple- tion of the last issue for the year. If not bound with the volume, as in a library set, they were easily misplaced or lost. As the journal approached its twenty-fifth year of publica- tion, the editors decided to integrate future indexes into the back of every final issue for the volume, a practice that began with Volume 26. To mark the milestone anniversary in 1995, they combined the indexes produced up until that time to create a twenty-five-year cumulative index. As the journal’s fortieth anniversary year of 2010 approached, the need for another compilation became clear. The index presented here integrates the past fifteen volume indexes into the earlier twenty-five-year cumulative index. While indexers’ styles and skills have varied over the years, every effort has been made to create a product that is as complete and consistent as possible. Throughout the index, volume numbers appear in bold-face type, while page numbers are in book-face. Within the larger entries, references to brief or isolated pas- sages are listed at the beginning, while more extensive references are grouped under the subheadings that follow.
