White Painted Woman
Women in Native American Culture are revered and honored for without them the culture would not live on.White Painted Woman lives an endless cycle of childhood, maidenhood, midlife and maturity. When she becomes elderly, she prays to the east, the direction of the rising sun and she sees her young self in the distance, when the two meet they join and changing woman is reborn. It is this rebirth that is celebrated when she becomes of age and has given special healing powers along with her natural spirit as a woman to continue the culture that is celebrated in the ceremony of the Sunrise Dance. She is renewed, the mother of our people.
