Summary[edit]
| Description |
Dansk: En soldans-figur eller -dukke skabt af en ukendt crow, efter at han havde set den i en vision. Fire crower siges at have benyttet den i en soldans på forskellige tidspunkter: Holds the Young Buffalo Tail, Puts Earth on the Top of His Head, Shows His Face og Sees the Living Bull. Two Leggings købte soldansdukken af Sees the Living Bull, efter at han havde erhvervet sig ret til at eje en soldansdukke via en vision. William Wildschut erhvervede den fra ham engang først i 1920erne.
Dukken er 15 cm høj. Den er syet af skind og senetråd fra et hvidhalet rådyr. Fyldet består af helligt festgræs og nåle af weymouth-fyr blandet med hår fra bjergfår og hjort (mule deer). Dukkens hoved er forsynet med uglefjer. Bemalingen har symbolsk betydning. Soldansen stoppede, når dukken pludselig viste sig med sortmalet ansigt for den, der udførte ceremonien. Et sortmalet ansigt var et udbredt tegn blandt prærieindianere om, at en fjende var overvundet.English: The sun dance effigy or doll was made by an unknown Crow as seen by him in a vision. Four Crows are said to have used it during ”the building of a little tipi” at different times: Holds the Young Buffalo Tail, Puts Earth on the Top of His Head, Shows His Face og Sees the Living Bull. Two Leggings bought it from the last named after he had been given the right to own one in a vision. William Wildschut bought it from him during the early 1920s.
The doll is 6’’ high. It is made of skin and thread of sinew from a white-tailed deer. It is stuffed with sweet grass and needles of white-pine along with hair from a mountain sheep and a mule deer. The head of the effigy has owl feathers attached. The doll is painted in accordance with the vision. The pledger would stop his dancing in front of the doll when the face of the effigy turned black as a sign of a promised victory and an enemy killed in the near future.
