Cheyenne Sun Dance
The Sun Dance. . . a ceremony common to most Plains Indian and a few Great Basin tribes. The central theme of the Cheyenne Sun Dance is world renewal: to make the whole world over again. It begins with the Lodge-maker who makes his vow and following that everything is supposed to begin to take new life, for the Medicine-Spirit {Maiyun}, having heard the prayer of the pledger begins at once to answer it, not so much for the pledger himself or his family, as for the whole tribe.
