There is also a brighter side to the eclipse. Some tribal traditions include leaving out medicine, corn pollen, and other offerings to ancestors and creator during the hiding of the sun. In some cases, it is similar to a fast, in which indigenous people will not engage in physical activity, eat, sleep, and especially won’t look at the eclipse. This marks a time of power, when the moon and sun are in alignment, and denotes the end of a cycle of seasons and moon changes.
