Terpning captures the glory of The Blackfoot Weather Dancer--a priestly figure charged with the responsibility to keep the weather favorable at the Sundance Ceremony. The majesty of Terpning's art matches the majesty of a man who could part a storm--standing amidst a deluge without being dampered before the rain would come to an inexplicable but merciful end.
