Indian Face Painting
Indians painted their faces for many different reasons. The first reason is to please spirits. The second
reason is to frighten evil spirits and enimies. The Indians painted pictures of snakes, deer or bears on each
cheek. At wartime they painted black circles around their eyes. The Indians painted many different patterns such as
dotted lines Men and Women both did that.
The colors on their faces ment many different things.
Here are some,
Black- death
Red- power and success
Blue- defeat and troble
Yellow- joy, travel and bravery

Indian Singing
Indians believed that songs would bring them help from the Spirit
Of Nature. Songs of the Indians were very good. Before the Indians peformed, they practiced untill they knew all the songs
and dances by heart. When they preformed they sung untill they couldn't sing anymore. It took them weeks to learn the
dances and songs. When they learned the songs and dances they would preform.

Indian Dances
The Indians have many dances that they made up and paased on. They loved
dancing, and moved their bodies as well as their hands and feet. They always danced and sung for fun. All dances had a meaning.
The Indians had war dance, and gave wild war whoops. We are not sure of what wild war whoops mean. Their dance wars were held
in the Concil Building or outdoors around a fire. They wore costumes, made false faces and painted their faces in their dances.
Dancing was part of the Indian' religion.
