Description
Participants in the sacred Sundance ceremony go four days without food or water. At the end of the experience, they pierce the flesh of their chests in an offering to the Creator. This video examines traditions of North American Aboriginal spirituality and highlights the introduction of the Sundance to the Mi'kmaq people of Eastern Canada.
