AT ZUNF AND INFOQUI PURRLOS. 105 
On the niii,iit before the Ham-2)0-)ie)/, the Koy-e-a-ina-s]i} 
built ill the sjicrcd dance place a bower of cedar in which 
the dance of the morrow was to be celebrated. These 
priests cut the cedar from the hills at the south of the 
town and late in the afternoon came back to the place 
loaded down with sjreat bundles of these I)ouo^lis. With 
nuich raillery they decorated the bcnns of the bower whi(^h 
had already been built with cedar boughs, tying them on

in the manner characteristic of this priesthood as already 
described. 
On the morning of the dance, the bower was seen to be 
tastily decorated, and its whole interior occupied by seats 
for the dancers. There was an elal)orate shrine in the 
middle of the building. 
Two rows of blanketed seats extended down the middle 
of the house facing to the east. There were places for the 
women who later take part in the ceremonies. Between 
these seats there was made with sacred meal on the ground 
a terraced figure with apex pointing towards the east. On 
the eastern side of the house which was open, there was a 
line of four seats for as many women, the Show-ko-mosxe , 
who take a prominent part in the dance. In front of them 
a line of baskets, heaped up with corn, was placed and a 
bank of feather plumes. A feather plume was placed in 
the ground near each seat. 
The musicians sat on each side of the dancers. There 
were two sets of drummers and one squad who accompa- 
nied the dancers with the music of the horns. 
The character of the dance was in general the same as 
that of the Klar-liey-v.ey . The dress, however, was much
