The ownership of the adoption lodge he gave to Magpie when he adopted 

 him. Magpie's wife, as well as others, have the privilege of distributing 

 food. 



Little-rump said he still continued to dream about the Yellow 

 Tobacco and heard the Tobacco sing. He dreams in any place, indoors 

 or outdoors, night or day; usually he learns the songs he hears in his 

 dreams. " Some of them I consider sacred. When I hear a song and 

 have good luck immediately after that, then I consider the song sacred." 



The members wore yellow shirts in battle, but not all owned such, 

 they had to be specially purchased. This was the only chapter to use 

 yellow shirts. Little-rump's wife had a yellow dress and blanket. 



A Yellow Tobacco bundle exhibited by Shows-a-fish contained two 

 women's dresses and a man's shirt, all of yellow cloth, with small 

 Tobacco bags tied to them. He said that in dancing the members held 

 yellow mufflers in their hands, or boughs with foliage. Cuts-the-picketed 

 mule gave a circumstantial account of the members' equipment and 

 decoration. The men wore yellow shirts with ermine skin trimming on 

 the upper arms; all their clothing was yellow, necklaces were of yellow 

 beads, 1 and the face and hair were painted yellow. The women wore 

 yellow dresses and blankets, bracelets of beads, and otterskin crowns. 

 Each had a strip of blue cloth tied to the hair and a yellow eagle plume 

 to the back of the head, while the men wore one on one of the temples. 

 The women all had a buckskin image of a lizard, and two of the men 

 wore such images in the back and had yellow bead work ornamentation 

 on their sleeves. All had yellow mufflers. While dancing they held a 

 forked stick long enough to touch the ground. To this there were tied 

 a yellow handkerchief and a small Tobacco bag, decorated with yellow 

 beadwork and an eagle plume tied to it. 



In the Tobacco garden this chapter planted at the extreme right (?). 

 Their number has been very much reduced of late years. In Lodge 

 Grass there were only five in 1911: Shows-a-fish, Walks-on-t he-ice. 

 Bull- weasel, Old- woman, Cuts-the-picketed mule. 



Shot-in-the-hand (Big Horn District) said the Prairie-Dog and Yel- 

 low Tobacco chapters were identical. 



EGG CHAPTER. 



The formation of this chapter is typical. Fire- weasel had been 

 adopted into the Wolverene chapter. Soon after this event the brother 

 of his initiator shot and killed himself. Then Fire-weasel's initiator 



'One-horn said the necklaces were of Tobacco seeds colored yellow.
