Jules - Different tribes have a variety of different customs, and the one you're thinking of may be a type of betrothal ceremony. I recommend speaking with tribal elders to see if there is such a ceremony for you to arrange.

Has anyone ever heard of a tradition where the couple have a commitment ceremony one year to the date of their marriage? I heard it was a Native American tradition and want to find out more about it. Thanks!

AliveSheCried - If you want a traditional tribal ceremony, you'd need to speak with the tribe elders about who is most appropriate to perform a wedding ceremony. If you just want to incorporate some Native American traditions into your wedding, a nondenominational priest may be willing, or speak to your regular clergy about what they can accommodate comfortably into the traditional ceremony. Best wishes!

Louise Yellowhair - The best way to find accurate information is to contact tribal elders for the expected practices at this time. Traditions can change, and it would be best to speak with the elders for the right details to include in the ceremony.

I am searching for information on an Acoma traditional wedding. I have a nephew, who is marrying an acoma Indian girl from new mexico. My family and I are sponsoring the wedding for my nephew.

Leeann - You could always investigate artwork or materials crafted by members of the tribe in traditional methods as a symbolic and highly meaningful gift. Best wishes!
