After getting to see the Laguna Pueblo's Hoop Dance at Pueblo Bonito on solstice, we had another bonus the next morning. The young dancers came to Casa Rinconada at sunrise and performed both the Hoop dance and the Eagle dance.
I knew it would be a great morning when my breath was taken away by the first brilliant red light below the clouds on the eastern horizon. I had to take a moment to simply absorb its beauty.
I loved seeing all the young kids from Laguna in the early morning light, some dancing, some watching, but all family of one sort or another.
The sun remained absorbed in the morning clouds, so we did not get to see the sun move across the western wall of the great kiva. While we waited, we got to see the first dance.
Two young boys did a beautiful eagle dance for us ... their first time ever together, with Kyle and the drummer singing and playing drums for them. Many firsts for these proud young boys, and we got to witness and enjoy.
