 After he had sung his dream song on the warpath he sang it at the 

 dances prej^aratory to war, and in time it became the common property 

 of the tribe. 



The dream songs recorded at Waba'cing are arranged according to 

 the uses indicated by the singers. The first four were said to have 

 been used in war dances; these are followed by five songs used in the 

 woman's dance; by six songs used by the Cliippewa doctor, whose 

 songs were always received in dreams, and one song of the moccasin 

 game, by wliich some successful player secured liis advantage in the 

 old days. The uses of the remaining songs were not designated but 

 many such are undoubtedly the dream songs of forgotten warriors.
