World View and Symbolism of native Americans
The San Juan Pueblo Indians have an extremely unique and authentic culture and world view. They incorporate symbolism into their dances, songs, and their basic way of life. The San Juan Pueblo Indians have a dance called the Pogonshare. Pogon, in the San Juan Pueblo language, means “cloud.” Share means “dance,” in their language. So the Pogonshare is the “Cloud Dance” of the San Juan Pueblo people. This cloud dance is developed by a group of elders, not by a single person. Every year the San Juan Pueblo people develop a new Pogonshare to keep the gods pleased with them. The Pogonshare is a dance which is intended to worship the Earth.
