Traditional dancers from Mexico and the U.S. prepare to perform the Mexican ritual Danza de los Voladores (Dance of the Flyers) at the 100th Gallup Inter-Tribal Indian Ceremonial at Red Rock Park on August 13, 2022 near Gallup, New Mexico. One of the dancers announced to the crowd that the dance is a 'ritual to bring rain'. The ceremonial began in 1922 and is one of the state’s oldest annual events honoring Native American and Indigenous tribal heritage and culture while bringing together tribal members from the American Southwest and beyond. Many of the participating tribes are from regions currently under drought conditions amid a climate change-fueled megadrought in the Southwestern United States. (Photo by Mario Tama/Getty Images)
