Snake Dance of the Megui Indians Described in Detail

The Albuquerque Journal reports on the Megui or Mequi Indians performing a rare Snake Dance. Men hunt snakes eight days before, place them in an estufu, and crowd them around a sacred rock while women and laborers chant and throw sacred meal. Snakes are taken from the shade, passed among dancers, and many are eaten or waved with sticks and feathers. The ritual ends with snake-release to the four compass points and ritual prayers for rain, with fatalities among bite victims.
