MICHELSON.] WHITE BUFFALO’S LEFT-HOOF SACRED PACK. 211 
They must not be ashamed. Indeed they must do that every time 
they dance. One’s life is not right when he becomes ashamed, for 
the one who made us has no shame in his heart. “That, verily, is 
the reason why you must not get ashamed.’ That is what they were 
told. If some one becomes ashamed, he has that experience, as it 
seems.t That sacred pack will not think the same of him (as it does 
of the others). 
Indeed the one who dances quietly and earnestly is the one who will 
be looked upon by the manitou. (The manitou) will know that he 
is living quietly. 
The one who dances quietly will not be considered wicked by 
the manitous. 
That sacred pack will thereby know about him. It will tell the 
manitou about him. That sacred pack will say this of him, ‘This 
is how long he has been dancing quietly.” Again, in the same way 
this sacred pack will say this of the one who acts wickedly, ‘This is 
how this one has been dancing wickedly. He has never once danced 
quietly.” 
And the one who always danced quietly from the time he was a 
baby up to the middle of his life and who yet danced quietly, does 
not die when the time has come for him to die. Indeed he goes on 
further when the time has come for him to die. Indeed he will 
finally have lost his sight while he is still living for a long time. 
Finally, indeed, he can only lie down; he becomes very aged. He is 
the one who has danced quietly and in earnest. Finally indeed 
while he is lying down he stops breathing there. 
It is said then that sacred pack will guide him along when he is 
dead. He will come to a beautiful place. 
Again, when this earth is renewed, they will see the one who has 
blessed them. The White Buffalo will be told, ‘These are the ones 
who think earnestly of your blessing.’ It is said this will be what 
the one will be told who was blessed long ago. 
Again, they are to see those indeed who are in that sacred pack. 
Yet they are to see them as humans, those that have danced in 
earnest as long as they lived and who do the things that have been 
planned. 
Those that are careful will always do that whenever the White 
Buffalo is being worshipped. 
Again, the dancers are not to fan themselves. They are forbidden 
to do this. After they have danced and after being seated, then 
they (may) begin to fan themselves. Indeed, they could only dance 
with their fans. Yet these must be only eagles’ wings, also eagles’ 
tails. Those are the only things with which they dance. 
1 That is, he will always be bashful.
