Saltcreek Sundance is a Lakota Native American Sundance Ceremony. It is a sacred ceremony among the Lakota people. It is not entertainment. The Native American sponsors share the Great Spirit through songs and prayers. Please join us on this Canku Luta (Red Road). Saltcreek Sundance is open to all of the people, not just those of Native American blood.
We welcome all regardless of race or religion.

Then it is finished, no matter how brave its warriors or how strong their weapons."

2010 will be the 19th annual Salt Creek Sundance Ceremony. The sundance is not a rite of passage into manhood, nor is it a test of bravery or courage. Rather, the sundance is a form of prayer. It is one of the seven sacred ceremonies given to the Lakota people.
| Camp Rules |
|
|
Everyone is responsible for their own camp sites. Bring every thing you need for primitive camping. Those who camp are expected to help with chores, such as security, kitchen duty, trash pickup, or keeping the creek bank clear of any trash or debris. We would apreciate that women on their moon, or monthly cycle not come to sundance but we realize this is 2009 and many women for what ever reason still come to the ceremony. If you must come to sundance while on your moon (period) you must camp in moon camp or away from the from the arbor. Families with small children are responsible for them, and to know where they are at all times. Children under 16 must be in their camp by 10:00 p.m. Please start teaching your children that Sundance is a place for prayer before you get here with them. Children are never too young to start learning respect, this awareness of where they are is very much a part of the "red road" and it is time we started teaching this to our children.
