Soyal

Today, the Zuni and Hopi Native American people celebrate Soyal, the winter solstice. When the kachinas arrive, the leaders of the Hopi tribe perform special rituals in the kivas to depict the sun being attacked by malevolent forces. At the end of the whole celebration, they perform a public dance for the kachina. #mythology #myth #legend #calendar #December 21 #soyal #zuni #hopi
