98 FT Deer Dancer statue
The Yaqui Dance Memorial is located on the main road at the north exit of Ciudad Obregon in front of the Fiesta Inn Hotel and opposite the VIPS Restaurant. Erected in 1966 La Danza del Venado (Yaqui Dancer Memorial) is a symbol that represents many years of spiritual and cultural tradition. Yaqui people identify themselves very much with nature and for them the life and death of a dear is a sacred rite and is a religious ceremony that they perform to please god and feel good with him. The religious dance is always accompanied with primitive tools to the Yaquis and with music played with a violin and harp, which ends with the death of a deer.
