Since being revived by Sioux women seven years ago, the Braveheart Women's Society has been trying to bring back a number of traditional ceremonies.

It hasn't been an easy task for the group, who have faced criticism for reviving the Isnati ceremony. The ceremony marks a young girl's transition into womanhood and has been held on the Yankton Sioux Reservation in South Dakota for the past four years.
