Late Spring: Celebration<br />

and Courtship<br />

After the spring planting<br />

and trading, the Sauk and<br />

Mesquakie put on their best<br />

clothes and held the Crane<br />

Dance Festival. During this<br />

celebration, youths played<br />

music and danced while<br />

parents arranged marriages.<br />

Sauk and Mesquakie<br />

women could turn down a<br />

marriage match if they did<br />

not approve.
