  After

  The 
  child 
  was 
  then 
  taken 
  on 
  the 
  hack 
  of 
  a 
  man, 
  who 
  followed 
  the 
  

   swayed 
  pipes

  song 
  was 
  sung:

  When 
  the 
  lodge 
  was 
  reached, 
  the 
  leader 
  took 
  his 
  place 
  outside 
  at 
  

   the 
  right 
  of 
  the 
  door 
  and 
  held 
  the 
  child 
  between 
  his 
  knees. 
  The 
  

   singers 
  took 
  their 
  seats 
  at 
  the 
  left 
  of 
  the 
  door. 
  Two 
  young 
  men 
  of 
  

   the 
  party 
  were 
  selected 
  to 
  perform 
  the 
  final 
  dance. 
  They 
  were 
  

   divested 
  of 
  clothing 
  except 
  the 
  breechcloth. 
  A 
  red 
  circle 
  was 
  

   painted 
  on 
  the 
  breast 
  and 
  back, 
  a 
  hi 
  n 
  xpe' 
  feather 
  tied 
  on 
  the 
  scalp 
  

   lock. 
  Each 
  dancer 
  carried 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  feathered 
  stems. 
  

  

  Meanwhile 
  all 
  those 
  who 
  had 
  made 
  gifts 
  of 
  horses 
  to 
  the 
  Wa'wa" 
  

   party 
  gathered 
  their 
  ponies 
  and 
  decked 
  themselves 
  in 
  gala 
  dress, 
  

   and 
  approached 
  the 
  lodge 
  to 
  witness 
  the 
  final 
  dance. 
  The 
  singers 
  

   started 
  the 
  music 
  and 
  the 
  two 
  young 
  men, 
  holding 
  the 
  feathered 
  

   stems 
  high 
  above 
  their 
  heads, 
  with 
  a 
  light, 
  leaping 
  step 
  danced 
  in 
  two 
  

   straight 
  lines 
  to 
  and 
  from 
  the 
  east, 
  simulating 
  the 
  flight 
  of 
  the 
  eagle. 
  

   The 
  line 
  taken 
  by 
  the 
  dancers 
  signified 
  that 
  by 
  following 
  the 
  teach- 
  

   ings 
  of 
  the 
  ceremony, 
  the 
  straight 
  red 
  line 
  on 
  the 
  pipes, 
  one 
  could 
  go 
  

   forth 
  and 
  return 
  in 
  peace 
  to 
  his 
  lodge 
  and 
  have 
  no 
  fear. 
  As 
  the 
  

   young 
  men 
  leaped 
  and 
  danced 
  — 
  a 
  dance 
  that 
  was 
  full 
  of 
  wild 
  grace 
  

   and 
  beauty 
  — 
  it 
  might 
  happen 
  that 
  a 
  man 
  would 
  advance 
  and 
  stop 
  

   before 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  dancers, 
  who 
  at 
  once 
  handed 
  him 
  the 
  pipe. 
  The 
  

   man 
  recounted 
  his 
  deeds 
  and 
  laid 
  the 
  pipe 
  on 
  the 
  ground. 
  The 
  

   dance 
  and 
  music 
  ceased, 
  for 
  the 
  act 
  was 
  a 
  challenge 
  and 
  the 
  pipe 
  

   could 
  be 
  raised 
  only 
  by 
  one 
  who 
  could 
  recount 
  a 
  deed 
  equal 
  in 
  valor
