Sunday

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.

"A nation is not conquered until the hearts of its women are on the ground.

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


Tsistsistas, Cheyenne

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.

Prayer Print E-mail

The worship of the great mystery was silent, solitary, free from all selfseeking.

I was silent because all speach is of necesity & is feeble and imperfect.

None might exhort or confess, or in anyway meddle with the religous or spiritual experiences of another.

He is nearer to us in solitude & there were no priests authorized to come between man & his maker.

There were no temples or shrines amoung us save those of nature.
