The "Sun Dance Poem" is a meditational poem, made and spoken by the carpenter Buck of Sinshan, recorded in the Blue Clay heyimas in December. The Sun Dance or winter solstice festival is the greatest ceremony of the Kesh year, celebrating the mystical rejoining into a round dance of all that seems separate, the earth and sky, the near and far, the unborn, the living, and the dead. | |
