Living Earth Festival 2017 - Southern Ute Bear Dancers

The museum's eighth annual Living Earth Festival features programs and activities on environmental issues, active lifestyles and the importance of Native foods in our diets. The festival features music, daily cooking demonstrations, artist demonstrators and traditional Native dance. In this segment, the Southern Ute Bear Dancers from southern Colorado demonstrate the bear dance, a women's choice social dance that has been part of their traditions from pre-contact times.
This performance was webcast and recorded in the Potomac Atrium of the National Museum of the American Indian on July 15, 2017.

the mimmicking of the knighthawk bird n the sounds of apache crown dancers lead to me this notion of reading dances...n the hopi prophecy...It was all signs of whats happening right now...the escape to sea level comfort by your bear dance is not written...but the hopi prophecy n who is making trouble mystically...messing with your kids listening tv radios n What they think in life...their paintings paint the picture on whose doing the trouble right now...the hopi prophecy to were we start back over with new fields of ...new corn for some n differant way of thinking now.....is the coming of the hopi prophecy...so the torment some kids are going through is sad but life is written if you believe the stars....I do n we sit on a sanctaury line in space....the witchary is a bunch of stars cluster in space crazy aint it.....but yaa we sit on a sanctuary line...probably not suppose to do things wrongy n forbidden....Southern Utes I do beieve the witchary of the anna j star n the witchary by who....god or we arent suppose to smoke here either in ignacio colorado....very very crazy thinking space
