...Hayden said: "The Australian delegation will be meeting with other youth delegations, organising stunts to gain the attention of the media, and keeping young Australians informed about what is going on at the summit.
"One such stunt would be flash mobs, which is a bunch of people all wearing the same clothing to grab attention, we freeze or start dancing to gain attention and this will be done with other youth delegations from throughout the world."
Julia M. Butree (a wife of Ernest Thompson Seton) in her book,[2] among other Native American dances, describes the "Rain Dance of Zuni."[3] Feathers and turquoise (or any sort of blue shade) are worn during the ceremony to symbolize wind and rain respectively. Many oral traditions of the Rain Dance have been passed down[4] In an early sort of meteorology, Native Americans in the midwestern parts of the modern United States often tracked and followed known weather patterns while offering to perform a rain dance for settlers in return for trade items. This is best documented among Osage and Quapaw Indian tribes of Missouri and Arkansas.
