  During 
  the 
  singing 
  of 
  the 
  first 
  stanza 
  the 
  man 
  held 
  the 
  paint 
  in 
  its 
  

   receptacle 
  over 
  the 
  head 
  of 
  the 
  child 
  and 
  showed 
  it 
  to 
  all 
  present. 
  

   He 
  first 
  made 
  a 
  feint 
  as 
  if 
  to 
  touch 
  the 
  child 
  with 
  it. 
  As 
  the 
  second 
  

   stanza 
  was 
  sung 
  he 
  put 
  red 
  

   paint 
  over 
  the 
  face 
  of 
  the 
  

   child, 
  then 
  he 
  drew 
  a 
  band 
  

   of 
  black 
  across 
  the 
  forehead, 
  

   a 
  stripe 
  down 
  each 
  cheek, 
  

   one 
  down 
  the 
  nose, 
  and 
  one 
  

   at 
  the 
  back 
  of 
  the 
  head. 
  

   This 
  design 
  had 
  the 
  same 
  

   meaning 
  as 
  that 
  on 
  the 
  

   gourds. 
  The 
  band 
  across 
  

   the 
  forehead 
  represented 
  

   the 
  line 
  of 
  the 
  sky; 
  the 
  

   stripes 
  were 
  the 
  paths 
  at 
  the 
  

   four 
  directions 
  whence 
  the 
  

   winds 
  start; 
  the 
  red 
  paint 
  

   symbolized 
  the 
  light 
  of 
  the 
  

   sun 
  and 
  the 
  gift 
  of 
  life; 
  the 
  

   lines 
  signified 
  the 
  winds 
  — 
  

   the 
  breath 
  of 
  life, 
  giving 
  

   motion 
  and 
  power. 
  In 
  this 
  

   connection 
  the 
  ceremony 
  of 
  

   Turning 
  the 
  Child 
  should 
  be 
  

   remembered.

  Then

  on
