The White Buffalo Dancer
Signed & numbered Lithograph, edition of 1000

White Buffalo Dancer is a rare social dancer found only at the Jemez Pueblo in Northern New Mexico. One method for distinguishing the costume of the social dancer from that of the true kachina is the headdress. In almost every instance the kachina dancer will wear a mask completely enclosing the head and especially the face. The social dancers's head is not completely covered and usually the headdress is not as highly stylized. The White Buffalo concept reached the Pueblos via the ancient trade routes. It is an adaptation of the Plains Indians' dances to the mighty herds of buffalo then prevalent. In keeping with tradition, the White Buffalo carries the rattle in his right hand and the hunting bow in his left. The turquoise and shell ornamentation is the personalization of the individual.
