Cellicion Zuni Dancers - Pottery Dance

Grand Canyon National Park

Description

The Cellicion Zuni Dancers are world renowned for their performances of traditional Zuni Pueblo social songs & dances. Here, they perform the Pottery Dance: "Long ago, before our Pueblo had running water, the women would walk to the spring for water. Often, with hands full, they'd balance a pot on their heads back to the village. Along the way they'd sing, thanking the Creator for water." Spend a Minute Out In It with the Cellicion family, as they keep the traditions of this increasingly rare dance alive.
