Native American dancers performed at the Presidio in San Francisco.
Cool bay breezes mingled with the healing aroma of burning sage as the first Intertribal Dance event: Dancing is our Medicine was held at the Presidio on Saturday, presented by the Native American Health Center. Dance in many indigenous communities is a prayer, an offering, a balancing of the physical, mental, spiritual and emotional, which in turn heals and strengthens indigenous communities. The event welcomed all Native peoples and the greater public to enjoy a variety of healing dances by California tribes on one beautiful day.
