Sacred Songs and Objects
— Plains Indians Life, Beliefs and Practices —
The Plains Indians drew inspiration and power from their ceremonies. Using sacred prayer songs, objects and dances, accompanied by ritual drumming and rattling, the people created a spiritual atmosphere to induce visions and revelations. Ceremonies were a means to offer thanksgiving to God as well as bring good fortune to the tribe in the future. Most Plains tribes revered sacred objects, such as special feathers and rocks, that were unique to their own particular history and essential to their identity.HM Number | HM12I0 |
