Easter to the American Indians is the feast of the renascence of Nature. March is the time-when-the-green-lizards-come-out. Indians used to dance an eagle dance, splendid and feathered, imitating an eagle's swirling, pointing to the six points of the Indian compass (north, south, east, west, above, below), praying to Nature to yield tobacco and corn...
