"A Coming of Age Ceremony" - Sienna's Sunrise Dance

An amazing culture and tradition that I witnessed here in White Mountain Apache Tribe, Ciebecue, AZ, USA.
The Apache Sunrise Dance is a four-day female coming-of-age ceremony, in which a girl temporarily becomes Changing Woman, the first lady and mother of her people. It is a significant and highly spiritual event for both the girl and the entire Apache community. Guests who are present participate in the ceremony full of music, blessings, and sharing of food.

    It always touches my heart and soul to be able to see the true nature of this beautiful culture outside of the Hollywood Westrn Movies janra (which presented you in a disrespectful manner). My blessings to the young woman; May you be be a proud carrier of your heritage so tha you may bring the outside world to your Din'eh. 🙏 An Ethiopian from America.
