Summary
editDescriptionPiegan ceremony in northern Montana, 1911.jpg |
English: Piegan Ceremony.
The Piegan ceremony shown here was witnessed and photographed by Roland Reed in northern Montana, in 1911. No detailed description of the ceremony is available but Mr. Reed states that it was of a deeply religious character. The leader was Many Tail Feathers, who is seen carrying a feathered object at the head of the procession. The drummer nearest the center of the picture is Stabs-by-mistake, next to him is Eagle Ribs, and the third in the line is Two Guns. These men are also the singers. Mr. Reed states further that these people call themselves the "underwater people," and in preparation for this ceremony they visited a lake carrying a forked pole which they put under the water. The procession illustrated came to the tent at the extreme left of the picture where a "medicine bundle" was unwrapped, the removal of each wrapper being attended by ceremonial action. It required several days for the preparations but the ceremony was concluded in one day and was exceedingly impressive. |
