Song of Processional Approach to the House. 



When the Xo'-ka, the Singer, the A'-ki-ho" Xo'-ka, and the Sho'-ka 

 come out of the house of the Xo'-ka the Sho'-ka leads the way toward 

 the Sacred House and the thi-ee men follow. After taking a few paces 

 from the house all four stop, the Xo'-ka himself (if he has memorized 

 them) sings the Song of Processional Approach to the House and 

 recites the first section of the wi'-gi-e, called Wa'-pi-thu-^e Wi'-gi-e 

 or Footsteps Wi'-gi-e. At the close of the last line of the wi'-gi-e 

 he takes from the bowl of a little pipe he carries a pinch of tobacco 

 and drops it upon his right foot, wliich he is to put forward first as 

 the procession moves. He also tosses a pinch over his right shoulder 

 and one over his left shoulder. Then the procession moves forward. 

 At the second stop he repeats the song, recites the second section of 

 the wi'-gi-e, drops a pinch of tobacco on his left foot, which he first 

 puts forward as the procession again moves. These ceremonial acts 

 are repeated for the third and fourth stops. The fom-th movement 

 brings the men to the entrance of the Sacretl House. Throughout this 

 processional approach to the Sacred House the Singer carries in his 

 arms his wa-xo'-be and it is to this act of the Singer that the last line 

 in each section of the wi'-gi-e refers.
