The White Buffalo Calf Woman

When the woman arrived, she taught them how to use the sacred bundle, and seven sacred ceremonies

  • Inikagapi - The sweat lodge
  • Hanbleceyapi - Crying for a vision
  • Wanagi Wicagluha - Keeping of the spirit
  • Wiwanyang Wacipi - The Sun Dance
  • Hunkapi - Making relatives
  • Isnati Awicalowanpi - Puberty ceremony
  • Tapa Wankayeyapi - Throwing the ball

As for the second man, the woman ordered him to return to his village and warn his people that she would bring them a sacred bundle. “So the warrior did as he was told. He went back to his people and he gathered all the elders and all the leaders and all the people in a circle and told them what she had instructed him to do” (Giese).
