The Plains tribes had no structured calendar of days, weeks and months so they had no set Holy Days; many tribes did celebrate religious ceremonies at about the same period each year, but the dates were not firmly set and could vary from year to year. A ceremony might be abandoned completely if unexpected events suggested that it would be unlucky to hold the ritual.
Each tribe had its own different religion and ceremonies, so there was no general celebration across the Great Plains.
The ceremonies involved every member of the band (or gathering of many bands) and meant much additional work in preparing a medicine lodge or Sun Dance enclosure, preparing extra food, taking part in preparatory rituals, dances and sweat-baths. So there was no "holiday" in the modern sense of taking a day off and doing nothing.
