Cultural Demonstration: Cloud Eagle - Traditional Dance from the Pueblo of Jemez
Celebrate the 25th anniversary of Valles Caldera National Preserve with a traditional dance performance by Cloud Eagle from the Pueblo of Jemez!
Cloud Eagle are the Seasonal Dance Group from the Pueblo of Jemez (Walatowa) in north central New Mexico. The Seasonal Dance Group was formed in 1990 to promote our cultures and languages of the Jemez and Zuni Pueblos and is comprised of members from both tribes.
Aside from participating in Tribal obligations throughout the year, the Seasonal Dance Group also sings and dances at many functions throughout the United States. Dances include: The Buffalo Dance, Corn Dance, Rainbow Dance and the Eagle Dance. The songs and dances represent our seasons throughout the year. The Winter season is represented in our Buffalo Dance; a celebration dance for a successful hunt. The Spring Season is represented in our Corn Dance; a prayer dance for a successful crop. The summer season is represented in our Rainbow Dance; a prayer dance for moisture. The Fall season is represented in our Eagle Dance; a dance for harvest and greatness for what mother nature has grown for us.
We ask the eagle to take our prayers to the outer most stratospheres to ask the creator for many more cycles of this way of life.
