Title
Green Corn Dance - Minatarrees, 1861
Description
Green Corn Dance (Minatarrees). When the maize arrives at full growth, the first gathered is offered to the Great Spirit. The warriors dance around the first kettleful whilst it is boiling, and, when done, it is burned to cinders, as an offering to the Great Spirit. Another kettleful is then boiled, on which the dancers feast, and, after that, the whole tribe join in the grand festival of “Green Corn.”
