Sun Dance
The Sun Dance is a ceremony practiced by some Native Americans in the United States and Indigenous peoples in Canada, primarily those of the Plains cultures. It usually involves the community gathering together to pray for healing. Individuals make personal sacrifices on behalf of the community. After European colonization of the Americas, and with the formation of the Canadian and United States governments, both countries passed laws intended to suppress Indigenous cultures and force assimilation to majority-European culture. The Sun Dance was one of the prohibited ceremonies, as was the potlatch of the Pacific Northwest peoples.Powell, Jay; & Jensen, Vickie. (1976).

Sundance (charter Vessel)
''Sundance'' is a charter vessel owned by Capital Pleasure Boats and operating on the River Thames. Former names are ''Gay Enterprise'' and ''Solent Enterprise''. History The vessel was built in 1971 for the Gosport Ferry service by James and Stone of Brightlingsea, primarily for cruising Portsmouth Harbour and the Solent. Originally called ''Gay Enterprise'', the name was changed in the winter of 1979, during her standby ferry duties, to ''Solent Enterprise''. It had a similar design to the company's two 1966 ''Queens'' (''Portsmouth Queen'' and ''Gosport Queen'') but the interior was more comfortable because of its different duty. It was painted in later years in a blue livery with a large ''Solent Enterprise'' banner on its side barriers. In its later years of service, it was regularly used on ferry duties between Gosport and Portsmouth when either of the ''Queens'' were out of service. In 2001, Gosport Ferry Company purchased a new ferry, the ''Spirit of Gosport'', but the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Sundance (video Game)
''Sundance'' is a puzzle arcade video game using vector graphics released by Cinematronics in 1979. The game consists of two grids floating in a pseudo-3D space with small suns bouncing between them. Gameplay The player scores points by opening a hole in the grid to capture the suns as they danced/bounced. The player can shoot a nova from an open hole, thereby saving time by not having to wait for the sun to bounce into the hole. If the nova misses the sun, it bounces between grids until it is swallowed up into an open hole. There can only be one nova on the screen at any given time. As the suns bounced, the grids moves closer and closer, making gameplay more difficult. The game ends when the grids fully converged. Release The game had only a small production run and was plagued with hardware failures due to its unconventional design. According to Tim Skelly, the game's designer, ''Sundance'' used an additional daughterboard In computing, an expansion card (also call ...
