THE HAKO, A PAWNEE CEREMONY 



[eth. anx. 



Wln'ii as we trav(^l we come to mountains or hills we siiitr the fol- 

 lowiniT song. 



Hills wereniarte by Tifa'wa. WeaseemI hills when we go away alone 

 to pray. From the top of a hill we ean look over the eountry to see if 

 there are enemies in siglit or if any danger is near n.s; we ean see if 

 we are to meet friends. The lulls help man, so we sing to Iheni.
