Soyal

Posted by Nathan on 12/22/2007
Featured by SoulPieces

Soyal is a celebration of both the Zuni and the Hopi Indians. They perform ceremonies which are intended to call the sun back from its winter sleep. The Hopi believe that the sun god has traveled far from the tribe on the solstice, so they use warriors and other powerful members of the tribe to coax the sun back. Soyal is also traditionally a time for purification and blessings, and it marks the turning of the year.
