History
1
Long before white settlers came to this land, the Maidu performed the Bear Dance, or Weda, each spring. This ceremony, which continues to be performed today, is a spiritual and social gathering that honors 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.
