i-'wa'-kl-ei-pi, n. the scalp-dance. This dance 

 follows the bringing home of the scalps of their 

 enemies. A circle is formed, on one side of which 

 stand the young men with their bodies painted, 

 with their feathers in their heads, and their 

 drums, rattles, and other instruments of music, in 

 their hands ; while, on the other side, stand the 

 young women in their best attire, carrying the 

 scalp or scalps stretched on a hoop. The war- 

 song commences, and the women dance around, 

 sometimes advancing towards the men, who are 

 stationary, and then again retreating, and re- 

 sponding at intervals to the music in a kind of 

 chorus. If the scalp is taken in the winter, the 

 dance is kept up, frequently by day and night, 

 until the leaves grow in the spring. If it is 

 taken in the summer, they dance and rejoice 

 ov^r it until the leaves fall off, when it is buried.
