THE WHITE TINY-HOOF SACRED PACK. 
(It is meant) to be for the left front hoof of the White Buffalo, on 
the east and north of him. It is called the White Tiny-Hoof Sacred 
Pack. This is the origin of this sacred pack. 
Only a man and a woman who is well on in years, one who has 
indeed ceased to menstruate; also a girl who has not yet begun to 
menstruate; and a boy, is the one watched by this (sacred pack). 
Indeed simply anyone. One who has started to menstruate regularly 
is not thought of when this White Buffalo’s sacred pack is being 
worshipped. 
At that time a man must not think of anything wicked in his heart. 
He must only think rightly in his heart. He must not think of court- 
ship toward women. He must not laugh at them in a courting way. 
That man too must not mention a woman in any way during the gens 
festival. Also if he goes out and sees one, even the one he courts, 
he must not wait to talk to her. All he could do was to have seen 
the woman. He must think of women only in a way that is proper 
during the gens festival. And if he were to think of them wickedly 
he would be considered as naught among the manitou. 
Indeed the man must be very careful to look after his life, as it 
seems. Indeed he must act in a quiet way. 
When a woman speaks to him, he must speak to her quietly. 
Also he should keep sitting inside as long as there was a gens festival. 
That sacred pack looks after a man in that way so that the man will 
not talk about a woman there; even it is not allowed for the man to 
joke in any way. He must sit quietly inside, the entire time. 
Again, he must not go out too soon. He may not move his feet, 
even if his feet have gone to sleep. Indeed he must sit that way 
nevertheless. Again, should he in any way get tired sitting, he may 
not lie down. Indeed he must sit that way nevertheless. 
It is said this was what the man was told when he was reminded 
of what to think in his heart: 
“Now my grandfathers, whatever you may have thought of the 
one you have first blessed, you must now think that of my own life 
also. Think that in your hearts about your lives,” it is said they were 
told by the ones who gave the gens festival.
