Tlie Iioop carried by an oik dreamer is mentioned in the following 

 song as "a rainbow." Tlie following was given as an explanation of 

 the use of this term: ''Part of the rainbow is visible in the clouds, 

 and part disappears in the ground. What we see is in the shape of a 

 hoop. This word is employed by medicine-men and especially by 

 dreamers of the elements of the air and the earth." (For songs of a 

 man who dreamed of a rainbow, see Nos. 61 and 62.) The hoop of an 

 elk dreamer was considered sacred, and the dreamer took great pride 

 in it. When carrying it he sometimes put it around his neck or 

 tlirust one arm through it and carried it on his shoulder. Such a 

 hoop is shown in plate 26 and is described in connection with Brave 

 Buffalo's dream of the elk.
