    Hoop Dance With America's Indians


               Hoop Dance With America's Indians


    Native Americans, or Indians, have not yet disappeared from the landscape of North American soil.
     
    The European visiters to their land took it from them, but left them reservations of their land upon which to live.
     
    Live they did.
     
    They also preserved a simple in culture, though deeply meaningful in all of it's seemingly primitive traditions.
     
    The  North African Jew called the Isrealite preserved the traditions of the original group of Isrealites, darker skinned people, and passed them onto their descendants of all skin tones around the globe.
     
    I just witnessed the tradition of hoop dancing from Cherokee Native American dancers.
     
    The dancing with the hoop symbolizes the earth that is round.
     
    Throughout the Eagle Hoop Dance  the dancing performer maneuvers the hoop, or hoops, into the shapes of an eagle that flies to the heavens and carries the prayers of their people to a higher source.
     
    The flute is an instument that expresses love in the Native American culture.
     
    Some accomplished Southwestern American flute players are remniscent of traditional Native American Flute playing.
     
    What I remember most of the Native American flute paying performance that I just saw was that Native Americans believe that human beings are Massa's, or stewarts of the earth, that assigned to take care of it.
     
    One Native American said that since the gas prices are so high, maybe now we can get back riding our horses.

    A powerful interesting and practical thought from the human beings that Europeans once wanted to be rid of in America, because they were not worshipers of their God, and also because they wanted to steal their land.
