For listeners who may not be familiar with the Buffalo Ram Dance, can you explain a little bit about the dance and what it represents to your community?

My name is Shane Keane.

I'm from Acoma, Pueblo.

My Indian name is .

As far as the buffalo dance group, each Pueblo in New Mexico, out of the 19 Pueblos, we all have a different style of a buffalo dance.

Each Pueblo is unique and different.

We're not all the same, but when we do perform, we do pray from our hearts.

How does the buffalo ram dance reflect your people's relationship with the land, animals, and the environment?
