Physical Description: 1 Photographic Prints1 Framed black-and-white photograph 17 x 21 inches
Description
Mural of ceremonial flag for the Bear Dance (A yokoli) by Bob Pfenning in downtown Quincy. Bundled tassels of maple fiber
were used to make a ceremonial flag, yokoli, used in the important spring ceremony known as weyda boyem, which includes the
relatively well-known bear dance. The maple tassels are usually dyed with a series of horizontal bands, using a reddish orange
dye from the bark of alder trees. The mural reads, "Long before the white man came to this land the Maidu performed the Bear
Dance (Weda) each Spring. This ceremony, which is performed to this day, is a spiritual and social gathering. It honors the
creation, the World Maker and the earth while paying homage to the grizzly bear and rattlesnake. Prayers are said at sunrise
and everyone is asked to speak their heart. This mural is dedicated to the Maidu and the spirit of harmony that the Bear Dance
evokes." Quincy, California.
