Miracle Connection

From October 13th to 19th, I went to South West trip and saw many old traditional exhibitions of Native American, there. Among all of them, I was especially impressed by Native American' s costumes which were used them when they dance to get rain. When Native American dance they use ever green which is like pine tree with costumes for expression of never die.Because around there, it is hard to get rain so people hoped that to rise up good food charge there wishes with ever green. Then I saw connections between Taos Pueblo thinking and Japanese ones because Japanese also used ever green to show never die. Actually situations when people use ever green are different because Japanese use pine tree when people hope longevity but both of their basic meanings are same. There are theories to explain this connection. Our text book showed us ancient pueblo came from around Siberia ten thousands years ago. Also one of pueblo which name is Zuni came from Asia so I thought Native American culture connected with our culture.
