  THE 
  OMAHA 
  TRIBE 
  

  

  [lOTII

  should 
  nol 
  forgel 
  to 
  include 
  the 
  giver's 
  wife 
  and 
  children 
  who 
  relin- 
  

   quished 
  to 
  outsiders 
  their 
  share 
  in 
  this 
  grout 
  necessity 
  of 
  the 
  family. 
  

   At 
  the 
  close 
  of 
  this 
  speech 
  each 
  member 
  partook 
  of 
  the 
  food 
  provided. 
  

   When 
  the 
  repast 
  was 
  over, 
  the 
  member 
  who 
  had 
  received 
  the 
  choicest 
  

   part 
  of 
  the 
  meat 
  held 
  up 
  the 
  picked 
  hone 
  and 
  acted 
  out 
  in 
  a 
  dramatic 
  

   dance 
  the 
  story 
  df 
  his 
  exploit. 
  Sometimes 
  this 
  exhibition 
  was 
  of 
  a 
  

   remarkable 
  histrionic 
  character. 
  

  

  When 
  the 
  time 
  to 
  disperse 
  came, 
  usually 
  shortly 
  after 
  this 
  dance, 
  

   the 
  choir 
  began 
  the 
  song 
  of 
  dismissal. 
  During 
  the 
  singing 
  of 
  the 
  lirst 
  

   part 
  the 
  members 
  rose 
  in 
  their 
  places 
  and 
  at 
  the 
  beginning 
  of 
  the 
  

   second 
  part 
  the 
  member 
  who 
  sat 
  with 
  the 
  door 
  to 
  his 
  right 
  passed 
  

   around 
  the 
  lodge 
  and 
  lire 
  place 
  and 
  was 
  the 
  first 
  to 
  leave, 
  each 
  one 
  

   following 
  in 
  his 
  turn, 
  all 
  singing 
  as 
  they 
  walked 
  and 
  passed 
  out 
  under 
  

   the 
  stars. 
  When 
  all 
  had 
  gone, 
  the 
  choir 
  rose 
  from 
  about 
  the 
  drum 
  

   and 
  left 
  the 
  lodge 
  in 
  silence. 
  'Phis 
  dismissal 
  song 
  is 
  choral 
  in 
  char- 
  

   acter 
  and 
  vet 
  has 
  the 
  rhythm 
  of 
  a 
  march.
