Exphmiifloii III/ fhe Kii'niliiis 



When the Father, with the Son on his baek, and the Kn'rahiis and 

 hi.s a.ssociates had reached the open air and had <;one a little distance 

 from the lodge, the Son was taken from the back of the Father. All 

 were now standing under the sky where they could be .seen by the 

 powers. The Son represented a little helpless child — I lie child that 

 he desired the powers to give to liini. 



As the following song was sung the Father undressed the Sou as he 

 would a little child, and while he did so the Son prayed foi- the gift 

 of children.
