  This 
  action 
  symbolizes 
  that 
  the 
  winds 
  

   will 
  come 
  and 
  strengthen 
  him 
  as 
  hereafter 
  he 
  shall 
  traverse 
  the 
  earth 
  

   and 
  meet 
  the 
  vicissitudes 
  he 
  must 
  encounter 
  as 
  he 
  passes 
  over 
  the 
  

   four 
  hills 
  and 
  completes 
  the 
  circuit 
  of 
  a 
  long 
  life. 
  It 
  was 
  believed 
  

   that 
  this 
  ceremony 
  exercised 
  a 
  marked 
  influence 
  on 
  the 
  child, 
  and 
  

   enabled 
  it 
  to 
  grow 
  in 
  strength 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  ability 
  to 
  practise 
  self- 
  

   control. 
  

  

  The 
  priest 
  now 
  put 
  the 
  new 
  moccasins 
  on 
  the 
  feet 
  of 
  the 
  child, 
  as 
  

   the 
  following 
  ritual 
  song 
  was 
  sung. 
  Toward 
  its 
  close 
  the 
  child 
  was 
  

   lifted, 
  set 
  on 
  its 
  feet, 
  and 
  made 
  to 
  take 
  four 
  steps 
  typical 
  of 
  its 
  entrance 
  

   into 
  a 
  long 
  life.
