Mini Monday Merriment!
Dancing is often considered a cultural universal. That means that it is an action which can be found in all known cultures across the world. There is so much beauty to be found in dancing.
Dance Circle by Carol Cunningham with illustrations by Jacqueline Phelan discusses specific dances and their significance to various Native cultures. She highlights Wolf, Fancy Shawl, Eagle, and Crown Dancers in this mini, and these dances can be seen at powwows across America.
This mini has a very unique binding. It's called a box binding, and the points of the cover overhang ever so slightly giving a very nice tactile experience. On the inside of the box, there's a figure holding a pretty blue feather as a fan. It measures in at 70 x 75 mm from spine to point.
