The Sioux Nation (comprised of seven council fires and sub-tribes) had many spiritual practices. The foundational rituals or ceremonies are the seven rites:
The Keeping of the Soul (Nagi Gluhapi Na Nagi Gluxkapi)
The Rite of Purification or Sweat Lodge (Inipi)
Crying for a Vision or Vision Quest (Hanblecheyapi)
The Sun Dance (Wiwanyag Wachipi)
The Making of Relatives (Hunkapi)
Preparing for Womanhood or Puberty Rite (Ishna Ta Awi Cha Lowan)
Throwing of the Ball (Tapa Wanka Yap)
The Healing (Yuwipi)-- relatively new.
There are literally hundreds of other minor spiritual practices that the Sioux engage in...too many to mention here but you can find them in many fine books.

∙ 9y agoThe Native American Sioux Indians believed that the spirit of the body could not leave if the person was buried in the ground. They erected tall pine beds that the departed were laid out on with all of their worldly possessions, wrapped in blankets. They were then left there. The land of the dead in the Sioux culture is a sacred ground that no other man could pass through.
