The Pejutah Sun Dance Ceremony held at Albion, California is open to anyone who wants to come and pray with us during this time of purification, renewal and celebration.

Anyone may dance for one, two, three or four days, but everyone must start on the first day and continue until their dance is complete. If you think you have a health condition that may be of concern and you want to dance please talk with me. Only the dancers that have made it to the fourth day are allowed to pierce, if they choose to make a prayer in that way on the last day.

It is not necessary to carry a pipe or Chanupa, but it is ok to bring one and use it during the dance at certain times. Male dancers need to wear a ceremonial skirt and bring an eagle-bone whistle if possible. Female dancers need to wear cotton dresses that cover their shoulders and also bring a shawl. Each dancer should bring bedding for sleeping and sweat lodge clothes.

Supporters are welcome to participate in the morning and evening community sweat lodges during the dance. They are encouraged to dance and pray with the dancers during the ceremony, outside the dancer's sacred circle.
