MICHELSON.] WHITE TINY-HOOF SACRED PACK, OO 
Moreover, those who love their wives are the ones who call them in. 
The women, it is said, admire their fellow-women when they are 
thus called. 
The people of long ago considered that performance as being hard 
to do. That was the reason, according to tradition, why those who 
had sons said to them, ‘‘If you are there, you shall sit firmly, when the 
White Buffalo sacred pack is being worshipped. You should fear 
the white tiny sacred pack. That is the one that can not but know 
how wicked your heart is.” It is said that was what a boy would be 
told, when he was told about the sacred pack. 
That is why, it is said, some who thought closely of their future 
lives did this. Those were the ones who tried to do those things that 
they had been told. They are indeed to live beyond when this earth 
is made again. Indeed everlasting life is mentioned in there. 
And as fer the one who does not do that, how could he be made to 
live there? As it seems, he does not listen to the manitou at all. 
Why then could he be made to live there? The thought of him being 
wicked would remain there, if he were made to live (there). 
That the earth may be beautiful, is truly what the men are striving 
for. That is why they have made the (rules) so hard to do. It is 
said that a woman’s rule is not so hard when the White Buffalo’s 
sacred pack is being worshipped. It is said that the man’s rule is 
indeed very hard when that sacred pack is worshipped. 
They did not dance merely to be dancing. They did not dance for 
fun. It is said the ones who were all around when that White 
Buffalo was worshipped had a hard time. It is said that they did 
not worship him sportively. 
Surely some of the men who were sitting there indeed even got very 
sick for a short time. As they got tired from sitting was why this 
happened to them. Because their blood could not flow easily was 
the cause of them getting so very tired. Some, it is said, would be 
rubbed down (on their muscles). As a sign, after the gens festival 
was finished, they would surely sit just as they had sat. 
After being rubbed down on the muscles then their feet were at 
last able to move. 
Yet, it is said, the ones giving the gens festival were the only ones 
who could wait upon anyone who was like that. They were helped 
by a member of no other gens. A member of the War gens was the 
only one who attended them. It is said that in a little while they 
cured their blood.
