That is, "Tliose persons who belong to 

 the Inke-sabe sub-gens known as Keepers 

 of the Pipes, paint their tent(s) with the 

 pipe decoration. I do not know of any 

 other persons, members of other gentes, 

 usiug this decoration; I think that no 

 others use it. I think that the lukesabe 

 chief decorates his tent in this manner, 

 and that he did not decorate it in any way 

 he pleased. When the sacred pipes were 

 made (on the tent) the pipestem was made 

 flat, porcupine work was put around it, 

 several heads of birds were fastened on it, 

 and tufts of reddened horses' hair were 

 tied to it at intervals." (See Fig. 184 and 

 PI. XLIV, C.) This Inke-sabe tent had only 



two pipes on it — one on each side of the entrance. 



The second Inke-sabe tent decoration is thus described by the same 



authority :
