| When I first ran across the words "Ghost Dance" I was so intrigued that I did an essay on it in college. The thoughts, meanings and dedication still stick with me to this day. So in honor of the "Ghost Dance Shirts and beliefs, we will honor the "Ghost Dance". |
| There are several Historical events of "Ghost Dance". Here is our adapted version for the Temple of The Phoenix. The belief that a single shirt could ward off evil in all its forms, discrimination, (in all forms), prejudice, racism, hurting words, bully's, etc... Our Ghost Dance Shirts brings back the "power" to our people, and to the wearer. We will cleanse all the negativity from ourselves and Mother Earth. Builds self-esteem and no longer will the negativity thrown at us be felt. We build these shirt with symbols that empower each and every one of us in different ways. We will dance for Father Skye, We will dance with Mother Earth. Be as one with the beat of the heart. We dance to show others, We are not afraid. We yell, "No Longer will we stand for anything that hurts us!" We are the people, We are the power, We are the change! Come and join our family in honoring our ancestor's! |
| YOU MUST RSVP IN ADVANCE! Come and join in ceremony! Workshops, food, history, drumming, music, dancing, ritual n' ceremony. |
