 Some papooses (originally an Algonquian word) were built with sharp, projecting points so that if a papoose fell off while the mother was riding a horse, the points would stick in the ground and protect the baby.[([[http://www.native-languages.org/cradleboard.htm|native-languages]])]

+===== First Buffalo For Plains =====

+===== Cry Shed =====
+Some Native Americans erected an earthen "Cry Shed", which reflected the community's problems and desires.

+===== Sun Dance =====
+The Sun Dance of the Plains people was probably the most agonizing Native American ceremonial. Dancers were implanted with skewers in their pectoral muscles and were roped to the holy cottonwood tree. They hoped for a great supply of buffalo in exchange for their suffering.[([[https://allaboutbison.com/natives/|allaboutbison]])]
+===== Green Corn Ceremony =====
+The Green Corn ceremony was and still is a harvest thanksgiving ceremony practiced by Native Americans in the Southeast and Northeast. Thirty or more people dance in pairs, express gratitude to the spirits, and then feast.[([[https://www.facebook.com/nativeamericansclothing/photos/1623357051251682/|facebook]])]
+===== Totem Poles =====
+To show their families' status, Northwest Native Americans such as the Haida constructed totem poles as tall as 40 feet outside their dwellings. Typically, the pole would feature animals or birds dear to the family. Totem poles were also constructed as a monument to ancestors. Totem poles were incorrectly assumed to be deity sculptures by Christians.[([[https://indigenousfoundations.arts.ubc.ca/totem_poles/|indigenousfoundations]])]
+===== Sand Paintings =====
+Sand paintings are composed of colored sand grains that have been meticulously placed to make a complex design of geometric shapes and symbols. The most well-known artworks are the Navajo sand paintings, which were created by Southwestern Native Americans. They regard the paintings as spiritual, living beings that must be treated with care.[([[https://www.deviantart.com/windwalker44/art/Native-American-Life-921566749|deviantart]])]
