I put up a video I found off of YouTube of the Hopi Indians doing a butterfly dance. This is one of their most sacred dances. To the "normal people" it might look like the same thing over and over again. In actuality it is an honor to be able to perform this dance when you are a member of the Hopi tribe. The Hopi's feel what they are dancing in every single dance and movement they perform. It is a gift they have to let their emotions speak words through movements of their bodies. This is the gift that most dancers strive to have, and these Native Americans seem to be born with it.
