﻿EEPOET 
  OF 
  THE 
  SECRETAKY 
  65 
  

  

  Falls. 
  This 
  dance 
  was 
  witnessed, 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  numerous 
  incidents 
  of 
  

   life 
  in 
  the 
  camp, 
  and 
  about 
  50 
  photographs 
  were 
  taken. 
  

  

  At 
  the 
  conclusion 
  of 
  this 
  gathering 
  Miss 
  Densmore 
  went 
  to 
  

   Keshena, 
  Wis., 
  for 
  further 
  work 
  among 
  the 
  Menominee. 
  The 
  manu- 
  

   script 
  already 
  prepared 
  was 
  read 
  to 
  reliable 
  members 
  of 
  the 
  tribe 
  and 
  

   details 
  were 
  added. 
  An 
  interesting 
  opportunity 
  for 
  seeing 
  Menomi- 
  

   nee 
  dances 
  was 
  afforded 
  by 
  the 
  annual 
  Indian 
  fair 
  which 
  continued 
  

   four 
  days. 
  Among 
  the 
  old 
  dances 
  presented 
  were 
  those 
  in 
  imitation 
  

   of 
  the 
  fish, 
  frog, 
  crawfish, 
  rabbit, 
  partridge, 
  and 
  owl. 
  The 
  songs 
  

   of 
  these 
  dances, 
  together 
  with 
  their 
  action 
  and 
  origin, 
  were 
  recorded. 
  

   The 
  Mijnabus 
  legend 
  concerning 
  the 
  first 
  death 
  was 
  obtained, 
  to- 
  

   gether 
  with 
  its 
  songs, 
  and 
  the 
  work 
  included 
  the 
  recording 
  of 
  other 
  

   old 
  material. 
  

  

  A 
  drum-presentation 
  ceremonial 
  dance, 
  commonly 
  called 
  a 
  dream 
  

   dance, 
  was 
  held 
  at 
  the 
  native 
  village 
  of 
  Zoar 
  on 
  September 
  2 
  to 
  5. 
  

   This 
  was 
  attended 
  each 
  day 
  and 
  closely 
  observed, 
  Miss 
  Densmore 
  

   remaining 
  10 
  hours 
  beside 
  the 
  dance 
  circle 
  on 
  the 
  third 
  day 
  of 
  the 
  

   ceremony. 
  Many 
  photographs 
  were 
  taken. 
  

  

  On 
  September 
  14 
  Miss 
  Densmore 
  proceeded 
  to 
  Tomah, 
  Wis., 
  and 
  

   resumed 
  her 
  study 
  of 
  Winnebago 
  music. 
  Additional 
  songs 
  of 
  the 
  

   war-bundle 
  feast, 
  also 
  called 
  the 
  winter 
  feast, 
  were 
  recorded, 
  together 
  

   with 
  several 
  old 
  legends 
  and 
  their 
  songs, 
  and 
  the 
  origin 
  of 
  the 
  bowl- 
  

   and-dice 
  game, 
  with 
  its 
  song. 
  The 
  legend 
  of 
  this 
  game 
  origin 
  had 
  

   previously 
  been 
  obtained 
  among 
  the 
  Menominee. 
  Numerous 
  photo- 
  

   graphs 
  were 
  taken, 
  and 
  two 
  drumming 
  sticks 
  were 
  obtained, 
  one 
  

   being 
  decorated 
  with 
  otter 
  fur 
  and 
  used 
  a 
  generation 
  ago 
  by 
  the 
  

   leader 
  at 
  the 
  drum. 
  

  

  During 
  October, 
  1928, 
  Miss 
  Densmore 
  went 
  to 
  Washington, 
  D. 
  C, 
  

   and 
  recorded 
  27 
  Acomq, 
  songs 
  from 
  Philip 
  Sanche, 
  who, 
  with 
  several 
  

   Acoma 
  Indians, 
  was 
  engaged 
  in 
  work 
  for 
  the 
  chief 
  of 
  the 
  Bureau 
  

   of 
  American 
  Ethnology. 
  A 
  larger 
  number 
  of 
  Acoma 
  songs 
  had 
  

   previously 
  been 
  recorded 
  for 
  the 
  chief 
  of 
  the 
  bureau 
  and 
  these 
  records 
  

   were 
  studied, 
  16 
  being 
  transcribed 
  as 
  representative 
  examples.
