HISTORY
The Sioux commonly believe that after death, the spirit of that person goes to the happy hunting ground, unless they were Scalped during their lifetime. This belief corresponds with the general Sioux belief that everything has a Spirit ; including trees, rocks, rivers and almost every natural entity. This therefore leads to the existence of an afterlife. The Native American tribes were highly spiritual with many spiritual dances such as the Sun Dance and the Ghost Dance , which directly refers to the spirits of the dead returning to life. The name ''Happy hunting ground'' basically describes the features of this particular native american afterlife. The Happy Hunting Ground resembled Earth, but with much better weather and animals that didn't run away, such as Rabbit , Deer and Buffalo .http://www.godchecker.com/pantheon/native_american-mythology.php TRIVIA The " Happy Hunting Ground " is also the name of an Outer Plane in the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.
