Ute traditional bear dance signifies spring T he tr a d i tio n a l. a n n u a l Southern Ute Bear Dance will be held at Ignacio^ Colorado May 30, June 1 and 2. The Bear Dance, as the Ute Legend goes, was a gift from the bear to the Ute people. A Ute hunter went to sleep and he had a dream of going to a certain place in the mountains and there he encountered a bear. Upon awakening the hunter went to the mountains to the place he had dream of and he came upon a bear. The bear was shuffling back and forth. The bear taught the hunter to dance as the bear and he also taught him the songs that were to be sung dur ing the dance. The bear then instructed the hunter to return to the people and teach them the dance. The story goes that this all occurred during the early spring, after the snows melt and at just the time that all bears would be awakening from their long winter’s sleep. Each spring the Utes dance the bear dance in celebration of the coming of spring. The dance is held in a large circle of upright poles that are inter-w oven horizontal with b ran c h es; u su ally th e tree branches are from the cedar or pinion trees. The dancers^ as- semble in a straight line with the men at the North and the women at the South. The dancers then do the shuffle step back and forth. The Southern Ute Bear dance is the second bear dance held each spring. The first dance is held in Utah at Et. Duchesne by the Uinatah band of Utes. The third dance is held by the Ute Mountain bands, For more information on the Bear Dance at Ignacio, Colo- rado call 303-563-9307.
