Preserving Sacred Rituals,Sustaining Spiritual Heritage
What is Sacred Sundance All About?
The Sacred Sundance Foundation is devoted to preserving, promoting, and supporting the Sundance ceremony and its rich cultural heritage. Through education, community engagement, and advocacy, we aim to sustain the spiritual practices and rituals that form the core of this ancient tradition, ensuring its continuation for future generations.
We are doingthe right thing,at the right time
Like the dedicated supporters of our organization, the Sundance Foundation is committed to making a lasting impact by preserving and revitalizing cultural heritage. We have a bold vision: to sustain the rich traditions of the Sundance ceremony, ensuring they continue to guide and enrich the lives of future generations.
The Sun Dancers we support face significant challenges in maintaining their cultural practices; many are contending with the pressures of modernization, loss of ancestral lands, or the erosion of traditional knowledge. Through education and active community engagement, we strive to overcome these barriers, empowering individuals to reconnect with and celebrate their heritage.
