Otter Skin Dance Among Oklahoma Indians Described
A Lakota-like Oklahoma reservation ceremony features the annual otter skin rite observed by about 400 Bac and Fox Indians. Participants surround a high pole with the sacred hide, gazing fixedly as the medicine man passes the otter skin, seeking visions of the afterlife during a week of demanding ritual. Two white brides join the rite, and a night dog feast of 149 dogs accompanies the celebrations as believers seek the Great Spirit’s favor.
