Description
In The North American Indian, Curtis states, “The most important religious and devotional observance of the Cheyenne was the Sun Dance, which, as given by them, was in its broadest principles similar to the sun ceremony of the many other prairie tribes.” The Sun Dance was one of the ceremonies that was suppressed in the late 1800s by the U.S. government and therefore the ceremonies had to be done in secret until the American Indian Religious Freedom Act in 1978.
