Untitled Mural by Dennis Silva
This mural portrays the Winter and Summer moieties, the two main societies within the Pueblo, and their most important dances. the Winter Buffalo Dance, in the right-hand sphere, honors the buffalo, once the most important source of food at that time of year, while the Corn Dance, on the left, asks for a plentiful harvest of corn, the staff of life for Pueblo peoples. A plumed serpent, symbolizing power over water, encircles the Winter sphere, and a ceremonial banner surrounds the Summer sphere. During the actual dance, this banner is carried by one man, in front of the line of dancers. This mural was selected for limited reproduction, and prints were presented to major donors to the Mural Project.
