Dec, 1905. The Poxca Sun Dance — Dorsey. 85 



Second Paint. 



This paint, as already noted, was worn on the third day. The 

 dancers were painted in the lodge on this occasion, and not in the 

 secret tipi. In costume and objects worn on the body or carried 

 in the hand, no change was introduced from the preceding day. It 

 remains to describe the paint of those groups which introduced a new 

 paint. 



4th Group. All the dancers and the grandfather were painted 

 alike. The body and face were painted yellow, and around the 

 breast and around the face were black circles. 



jth Group. All the dancers and the grandfather were painted 

 alike, except one, who was unpainted. The body was painted 

 yellow and the face red. Surrounding the face was a row of white 

 dots. Up and down each arm was a zigzag line in white and a white 

 circle was placed on the breast. (See PL XXXI, Fig. 2.) 



yth Group. The grandfather was painted differently from the 

 dancers. His entire body and face were painted yellow, and on the 

 right arm was painted a zigzag line of red. The dancers were painted 

 yellow, but on their right arm bore a line of red dots, and on their 

 left arm a zigzag line of red. 



gth Group. The grandfather's body and face were painted 

 orange. On one side of his face was a semi-circle of blue. The 

 bodies and faces of two of the dancers were painted yellow. Across 

 the yellow-painted face was a straight blue line. The remaining 

 dancers of this group had a red painted body, with a blue semi- 

 circle on the face. The scalp line was painted yellow. 



Third Paint. 



The third was the last paint worn during the ceremony, and was 

 applied in the lodge on the morning of the fifth, or last day. As 

 during the second paint, there was no change in the paraphernalia 

 of the dancers, but there was a complete change in the paints. 



1st Group. The body of the grandfather was painted yellow 

 throughout, except the upper half of the face, which was painted 

 black. The bodies of the dancers were painted yellow. Around 

 the face and arms were encircling blue lines. 



2d Group. The bodies of all the dancers, including the grand- 

 father, were painted yellow. The face of the grandfather was 

 painted red, filled in with large white dots. (See PL XXXII, Fig. 1.) 

 Around the faces of the dancers was a broad white line, and down 

 the left arm was a zigzag line in red and down the right arm a row 

 of large red dots.
