<p>The most important of our sacred dances, is the Hamat&#700;sa or cannibal dance. This dance is the re-enactment of a young man's possession by a cannibal spirit living at the North end of the world. Dance and songs along with rituals tame the man, bringing him back to his human self.<br /><br />We are very proud to share our culture with you in these performances.</p>=0D=0A=
