MICHELSON. ] THE LITTLE SPOTTED BUFFALO. 531 
Then they would dance again. This little song is used. Suddenly 
a very elderly man, supposed to be a warrior, would give a speech. 
He says the same as previously to them; he will urge them to remem- 
ber the gens festival; he advises them not to make sport of it. And 
he would say, ‘‘ Dance,” to the dancers. That man who is the leader 
would say the same to them from the sixth place back where he 
danced. And in turn a woman would be the leader; she would be 
symbolically pursued by the bulls, such is the meaning. Then there 
would be singing again. And this is the song that would be used. 
They woyld use one song over and over; they would use it always. 
I wear around my neck for you (?). 
That is how it goes. It always is put first wherever the buffalo 
is (2). And they would strike up another song. When it is started, 
the dancers who are the leaders would change. And another man 
would be the leader. That is how the leadership is. And another 
song would be started. This is how it goes. A dancing song is 
(inserted) there: 
I shake my mane while walking; 
Shaking my mane while walking . . . this earth; 
Shaking my mane while walking . . . this earth. 
That is how it goes. And it is changed a little and is the War

earth. That is how this song is. The (songs) are almost the same. 
That is how this is. And the other half is: 
I shake my tail at you, 
I shake my tail at you, 
I shake my tail at you. 
That is the (song). Then after another song is used, that would 
be two. After that has been used another song would be started: 
I know you, I know you, 
I know you, I know you;

They would be in the habit of using it. And another song would 
be used. And this is how it is. Here it is: 
Change our places of standing, the woman said to them, she said to them; 
Change our places of standing, the woman said to them. 
That is one half. And the other half begins: 
The buffalo changes his standing place; 
The buffalo changes his standing place.
