Capture the Sun (Cheyenne Series)
“The sun was bright, but the breeze brisk and cool, for the last of the snows were only now leaving the valley. It was a glorious day—their wedding day. Her elkskin dress, tanned soft as butter, trimmed with elaborate rows of gleaming elk teeth, lay before her. Lovingly, she ran her fingers over its rich folds. She had already sent her wedding gift to Hawk, a magnificent shirt of antelope hide, painstakingly worked with porcupine quills.
Eagerly she awaited Sweet Rain and Calf Woman, who w...ere to assist her in the ritual preparations for her wedding night. First she would go to the women's sweat lodge, then bathe in the icy stream. Her hair would be freshly washed and perfumed and she would be dressed in her finery. The Cheyenne had no marriage ceremony as such. The relatives of the bride simply carried her to her bridegroom on a new blanket, depositing her at the door of their new lodge. Iron Heart would stand in place of her father, imparting his unspoken blessing on their union this night.MoreLess
