Squaw Dance

By: Maurita

The picture I have drawn is called "The Squaw Dance". Squaw Dances are a type of ceremony during the summer time. A man and a woman dance together and walk around the fire. The women dance inside and the men dance outside the circle. Woman can't dance with people related to them.
