MICHELSON. ] SACRED PACK ON THE RIGHT SIDE. 981 
It is said that was the reason those who took care of them did that. 
Again, it is said, they never left them. Indeed they always staid at 
that one place. They only watched over them very particularly as 
best they could. Still, it is said, those who belonged to their gens 
would bring in meat food for them. They themselves, it is said, 
were cared for only by any of the members of their gens. It is said 
that during the fall, ‘This is the one who will now live with our 
sacred pack. Still, he will indeed please us very much,” they would 
say about him. That was the way he was treated, it is said, when 
the one who was named to live with it was helped to obtain his food. 
It is said that during the winter he was given a heavy (burden). 
He could not hunt, it is said. He had to stay at the same place. 
Then in the spring, the one who really took care of it stayed (in 
turn). 
It is said that was what they feared, the White Buffalo’s Hoof 
sacred pack. That watched over them always. Indeed when some- 
one did not believe in it in any way, it is said that something would 
truly indeed befall him. That (was what happened to them), it is 
said. 
The one who really took care of it, it is said, also hunted about as 
well. He went hunting around quietly. It is said that was what 
he too was afraid of. 
When they all returned together in the spring, it is said, just as 
soon as they came, they would give gens. festivals. They would 
worship those small sacred packs. After they all camped, then it is 
said, they would at last worship the White Buffalo’s sacred pack, 
after worshipping all those small sacred packs. This is the end of 
the White Buffalo’s Hoof sacred pack which watches over those 
celebrating the gens festival only. 
The end.
