Mixed Kachina Dance

The Mixed Kachina Dance is a dance of animals
With coyotes, eagles, goats and cattle.

The Goat dancer was showing its respect by
Dancing around the sun.

The dancing was so fast that it looked like it could
Never be done.

The eagle dancer was dancing so high up into the shy.

For me, the moment would be too much, because I
Know, I’m very shy.
