Standrock Indian Ceremony in Wisconsin Dells is held no more in it's former location. The Dells Boat tours used to include this great attraction which was extremely popular in the 1960's and 70's. It was an amazing event that showcased Native American talent and customs. Performers from the very young to the elderly were respected and audiences were held spellbound. Nowadays with the Ho Chunk tribe owning some Casino sites, plus other lands, a Ceremonial site has been set up near the Casino between Baraboo and Wisconsin Dells.

what was the hupas custom and tradition
Its the Ghost Dance. Your probably doing the same worksheet as me for chapter 26 of The American Pageant.
The Ghost Dance was a near- Christian religious ceremony that if properly performed would bring the bison back, all dead warriors back and victory over the white invaders. More importantly, the Ghost Dance offered hope to a people whose spirit was eroding which is why it got outlawed by the whites. The whites needed to break the Indian spirit to control them, something they never truly accomplished. NOTE: It should also be noted that the "Ghost Dance" started with a Paiute named Wovoka who had allegedly had a vision of God. It was 'synthesized' as it was accepted into each tribe; so its meaning may change dependent on which tribe the reference is made from.
The question is too general. There were plains tribal groups who historically celebrated the traditional form of the Sun Dance faith; tribal groups who still conduct Sun Dances today; plus, genizaro affairs who engage in what can only be described as a "Pan-Native American"/"Native Pan-American" semblance of the original plains Sun Dance. Historically, most Plains Indian tribes did participate in the Sun Dance. In fact, it is easier to ask which plains tribes did not participate in the Sun Dance--such a list would be shorter.
