131. PELOUSE FALLS. 



This beautiful cascade is situated about nine miles from the junction of the Pelouse with 

 Snake River, and is estimated at three hundred feet in height. According to an old tra- 

 dition, the Great Spirit caused this barrier to rise, to prevent the salmon from passing to a 

 band of Indians living on its head-waters, with whom he was displeased.

Commonly called Ugly Head. Principal Chief of the Spokanes, or Flat-Heads, residing on 

 the waters of the Spokane River. 



140. KWIT-TEAL-CO-KOO-SUM. (Painted 1847.) 



Big Star Chief, a medicine-man of the Spokanes. Whenever a person is sick, this tribe 

 supposes that the spirit has left the body, and hovers invisibly in the air, until it can be 

 charmed or brought back through the agency of the medicine-man. To accomplish this 

 end, the patient is placed in a sitting posture, enveloped in a buffalo-robe, or other covering, 

 having only the top of the head exposed. 



The medicine-man then commences dancing and singing around the patient, gesticulating 

 mysteriously, and often clutching in the air with his hands, as if in the act of catching 

 something. The spirit is supposed to be attracted by the chant, and to hover near the 

 aperture at the top of the lodge ; and the dance is often continued for an hour before it 

 can be caught. It is then pressed and rubbed, as the medicine-man pretends, through the 

 patient's skull, whose recovery, if not soon effected, he supposes to be thwarted by his 

 having caught the spirit of some other person ; and it then becomes necessary to undo his 

 work by setting it at liberty, and repeating the performance until the right spirit is caught.
