E.v'planation hij flie Kii'ralius 



After singing the first stanza we move on, and when we are near 

 the lodge we jiause and .sing tlie second stanza, " Here is tlie lodge of 

 my Son wherein he sits waiting for me ! " 



"When we are close to the lodge of the Son we halt, and all the party 

 of the Fathers who can not count war honors remain witli the two 

 Ku'ralms, the chief, and the singers wlio carry the drum, f(n- the Ilako 

 can not take part in anything that refers to strife or war; its mission 

 is to unite the people in peace. 



The Ku'ralms chooses two men, a chief rejpresenting tlie brown 

 eagle and a warrior representing the white eagle, to accompany the 

 warriors as they step stealthily around the lodge, as if to surprise an 

 enemy, and rush in through the entrance waj'. 



The two chosen tnen go at once to the child and stand beside it, tlie 

 chief on the right, tlie wari-ioi- on the left, while the warriors gather 

 around the cliild and count their honors over it, all talking at once. 

 When they have finished, the warrior touclies the child on the left 

 shoulder, then turns and faces it and speaks of the good gifts he has 

 received from Tira'wa. His touch means the imparting to the child 

 of that which he has received from Tira'wa. Then the chief touches 

 the child on the right shoulder, turns and faces it and tells of the 

 honor and favor Tira'wa has granted him. His touch means impart- 

 ing to the child of that granted him by Tira'wa. 



Tlie touch of the warrior and the chief, representatives of the white 

 and the brown eagle, signify the approach of the Ilako.
