the Lodge-maker. The chief difference was that a rectangular-shaped 

 or morning star symbol was worn on the breast, with the usual circular 

 sun symbol on the face ; thus reversing the order of the symbols as worn 

 by the Lodge-maker. (See PI. LVIIL, Fig. a.) Another difference 

 lay in the fact that the black road or trail marks extended from the 

 ankles to the waist line. The same wreaths were worn as already de- 

 scribed for the Lodge-maker. 



b. The white-White- or Hail-paint. 



This was worn as the first paint of the second day. (See PI. 

 LVIIL, Fig. b.) Around the waist and arms, just above the elbows, 

 were red bands; all above this was painted black, all below white. 

 Around the wrists and ankles were black lines ; extending upward from 

 the ankles were black lines which joined the waist-band; similar 

 lines joined the bands around the wrists and arms; on the breast 

 was the morning-star symbol and on the face the circular-sun 

 symbol. Both these symbols were outlined in red and filled solidly 

 in green. From the sun symbol a green line passed upward on each 

 side to the shoulder and downward on the arms to the red elbow 

 band, and two green lines extended to the red waist-band. On the 

 black upper surface of the body were large white dots ; on the white 

 lower surface of the body were willow leaf marks in red. The black 

 upper body with its white dots is symbolic of black clouds and white 

 hail lying about the white earth ; while the marks in red upon the white 

 extremities made by the willow leaves, symbolize the vegetation of the 

 earth. It may be noted that while the morning star was represented 

 on the preceding day as above the sun, on this day it was represented 

 as below, for "it moves, now up, now down. The color of the morn- 

 ing star and of the other stars varies as does that of the sun ; hence 

 the different colors." 



In connection with this paint was worn a willow wreath about the 

 head, symbolic of the sun, which causes growth, and around the neck 

 a willow wreath passing under the left arm. The band around the 

 waist typified the moon, while that of the extremities was symbolic 

 of the four medicine-spirits. The pink earth of the first paint is also 

 contrasted with the white earth of to-day. 



The lines of the body lead to the heart, and are roads of prayers — 

 " Go to my heart and make me strong. "
