Native Americans honored the time of menstruation with the’red tent’ ritual. Women would live in a separate lodge while menstruating. A woman was considered to be more creative and in tune with the spirit world during this time. The ‘Red Tent’ ceremony is still practiced today in some Native American communities. It is a time for women to reflect on their past and to honor their ancestors.
