White Otter Skin Dance Among Sac and Fox at Oklahoma Reservation
About 400 Sac and Fox Indians gathered on their Oklahoma reservation to perform the otter skin dance a decadelong religious rite. The ceremony centers on a white otter skin placed on a high pole, with participants circling and gazing until exhausted, then the skin is offered up. The rite lasts a week, with a medicine man directing completions and granting the skin to some after prayers. Weeping, wailing, and omens accompany its progress, and two newly converted white women join the ceremony. A dog feast followed with 142 dogs killed and cooked as part of the observance.
