Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anthropological Papers of the American Museum of Natural History, Part IV, Vol. 16: Notes on the Sun Dance of the Sarsi; The Sun Dance of the Plains-Cree; Notes on the Sun Dance of the Cree in Alberta; The Sun Dance of the Canadian Dakota; Notes on the Sun Dance of the Sisseton Dakota The dance is projected during the fall or winter previous, and is the result of a promise, made in sickness or trouble, or may be an endeavor to secure some favor from the Powers Unknown. The same idea actuates the dancers. This more closely resembles the Blackfoot concept, and, as has been stated, is not substantiated by the data of Miss Paget, Dr. Goddard, or the writer, except with regard to the individual dancers, who often vowed that they would take part and undergo the torture of fasting or mutila tion.
