I’ve never seen green ,corn. Only yellow The corn is so important in many tribes It’s everything. Really appreciate having a glimpse into your beautiful way of life. Considering all living things is honourable. I would love to belong in a tribe. Unity is apparent. That’s something to be jealous of. Thanks for sharing....☀️
The green refers to the leaves of the corn. With corn, some corn is harvested and eaten when the leaves are green, other corn is harvested, processed, and eventually eaten after the fall harvest, when the corn leaves are no longer green, but yellowed/brown.
I was in the Green Corn Ceremony performed by the O-Shot-Caw Lodge of the order of the Arrow, South Florida Council BSA in Indianapolis, Indiana in 1969. This was a national Indian dance competition and our lodge participants came in second. It was a very proud moment in time for those of us that were involved. We even had our long shirts made by Seminole women. I still have mine. Our ceremonial dance was a round dance where the participants acted out a native animal’s movements as well as keeping up with the round dance. I will never forget this experience and will always be proud of the Seminole Nation.
We Mvskoke are trying to survive modern times but are loosing, sadly. Medicine men and ceremonial chiefs are passing with all their knowledge of how the ceremonial grounds are done.
We apologize, we do not know for sure when this was made, or what grounds is featured. Most of the archive material we feature from this time period was shot in the early to mid 1980s.
We Mvskoke people call ourselves NDN, especially in Oklahoma. We don’t take offense. If you say “Native American” in Oklahoma, you sound like an outsider.
Our culture is so unique, thankful for god to give us this tradition
Green corn has always been my favorite festival.

Suzetta Squire do you know what ground this is ?

Who taught them this ?
Their ancestors. The Green Corn Ceremony is a traditional Creek ceremony, though it's practiced by other tribes as well.
We Mvskoke are trying to survive modern times but are loosing, sadly. Medicine men and ceremonial chiefs are passing with all their knowledge of how the ceremonial grounds are done.
Then learn it.

I've danced at Greenleaf, I don't think it is.
Yes. It’s Greenleaf.
@@MvskokeMedia Yeah, when the video began my first thought was that it was from the 80s, based on the video quality.
It’s weird watching this
Why?
Because it's not supposed to be seen by the outside.
