  sul 
  unit 
  to 
  similar 
  treatment 
  and 
  go 
  through 
  like 
  movements 
  in 
  ex- 
  

   hibiting 
  the 
  mi'gis. 
  which 
  they 
  again 
  swallow. 
  When 
  quiet 
  has 
  

   been 
  restored, 
  and 
  after 
  a 
  ceremonial 
  smoke 
  has 
  been 
  indulged 
  in, 
  

   the 
  candidate 
  sings, 
  or 
  chants, 
  the 
  production 
  being 
  either 
  his 
  own 
  

   composition 
  or 
  that 
  of 
  some 
  other 
  person 
  from 
  whom 
  it 
  has 
  been 
  

   purchased. 
  The 
  chant 
  presented 
  herewith 
  was 
  obtained 
  from 
  Sikas'- 
  

   sig§, 
  who 
  had 
  received 
  it 
  in 
  turn 
  from 
  his 
  father 
  when 
  the 
  latter 
  

   was 
  chief 
  priest 
  of 
  the 
  Mide'wiwin 
  at 
  Mille 
  Lacs, 
  Minnesota. 
  The 
  

   pictographic 
  characters 
  are 
  reproduced 
  on 
  PI. 
  xvn, 
  A, 
  and 
  the 
  mu- 
  

   sical 
  notation, 
  which 
  is 
  also 
  presented, 
  was 
  obtained 
  during 
  the 
  

   period 
  of 
  my 
  preliminary 
  instruction. 
  The 
  phraseology 
  of 
  the 
  chant, 
  

   of 
  which 
  each 
  line 
  and 
  verse 
  is 
  repeated 
  ad 
  libitum 
  as 
  the 
  singer 
  

   may 
  be 
  inspired, 
  is 
  as 
  follows: 
  

  

  Do-na-ga-m, 
  Na-wa-kwe' 
  in-do'-shi-ton 
  , 
  do-na 
  -ga-ni 
  . 
  

   My 
  dish. 
  At 
  noon 
  I 
  niakt* 
  it, 
  my 
  dish. 
  

  

  [The 
  singer 
  refers 
  to 
  the 
  feast 
  which 
  he 
  gives 
  to 
  the 
  

   Mide 
  for 
  admitting 
  him 
  into 
  the 
  Mide'wiwin.]
