Mountain Spirit Dancers exhibit
 

 

 


The spiritual keepers for the Yavapai Tribe. According to Yavapai stories told only in the winter months the five Mountain Spirits inhabited Four Peaks, the Superstitions, Red Mountain and Granite Mountain long before other people came. "They are always there helping us; they never die." Singing and dancing are ways people expressed themselves, and prayed to the Creator. The dance itself was like a prayer.
