Cheyenne Indian Sun Dancers
Cheyenne Indian Sun Dancers
Cheyenne Indians at a Sun Dance, by Edward S. Curtis, circa 1910. The Sun Dance is practiced primarily by tribes in the Upper Plains and Rocky Mountain areas. This annual ceremony is typically performed at the summer solstice (the time of longest daylight), with preparations beginning up to a year before the ceremony.
