  The 
  indirect 
  reference 
  to 
  the 
  pipe 
  indicates 
  that 
  the 
  article 
  is 
  

   unimportant, 
  a 
  mere 
  vehicle, 
  the 
  real 
  offering 
  being 
  the

   smoke.

  The 
  words 
  and 
  music 
  of 
  this 
  song 
  are 
  in 
  marked 
  contrast 
  to 
  the 
  

   one 
  that 
  preceded. 
  The 
  descriptive 
  character 
  and 
  the 
  impatience 
  

   expressed 
  in 
  the 
  opening 
  song 
  here 
  give 
  place 
  to 
  stately 
  measures 
  in 
  

   which 
  the 
  thoughts 
  of 
  the 
  members 
  are 
  turned 
  from 
  the 
  objective 
  

   display 
  of 
  the 
  Thunder 
  gods 
  toward 
  the 
  invisible 
  YVnko"'da, 
  the 
  

   directive 
  life 
  force 
  which 
  permeates 
  nature 
  and 
  all 
  forms 
  of 
  life. 
  

   The 
  beat 
  of 
  the 
  drum 
  is 
  in 
  4/8 
  time 
  while 
  the 
  music 
  is 
  in 
  6/8 
  time. 
  

   The 
  contrasting 
  rhythm 
  and 
  syncopation 
  express 
  the 
  restraining 
  

   influence 
  of 
  the 
  rite. 
  

  

  The 
  pipes 
  were 
  passed 
  in 
  the 
  following 
  order: 
  One 
  pipe 
  was 
  

   started 
  at 
  the 
  door 
  and 
  was 
  smoked 
  by 
  all 
  seated 
  on 
  the 
  half 
  of 
  the 
  

   circle 
  between 
  the 
  left 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  entrance 
  and 
  the 
  leader. 
  The 
  

   other

  started 
  with 
  the
