Salute to the Flag
| Elevated view of the closing performance at the Stand Rock Indian Ceremonial. A group of men, women and children are saluting the Flag of the United States, at night, wearing Native American ceremonial clothing. The flag is hanging in front of the sandstone rock formation, and a tipi is set up at the base. In the foreground are spectators sitting on bleachers. During its 78-year run (1919 to 1997) the Stand Rock Indian Ceremonial provided viewers a small glimpse into the ceremonies and dances performed by the Winnebago, Sioux, Kiowa and southwestern Native American tribes. |
