Description

Through the centuries men have rung bells, fired cannons and danced to make rain or prevent hail. The rain dance goes back as far as recorded history and is still practiced in some remote corners of the world. The dance was tailored to the religious rites and superstitions of a particular tribe. If it rained, the witch doctor took the credit. If it didn't, the gods were angry.
