The Value of the Horse in Native Cultures
American Indians have traditionally regarded the animals in their lives as fellow creatures with whom they share a common destiny. That intimate bond between human and animal is nowhere so evident or powerful as in the case of the horse. This video explores how the significance of the horse is reflected in the Lakota (Sioux) and Apsáalooke (Crow) traditions of making intricately designed horse regalia used in celebrations and parades.
