ExphuKtlidit III/ the Kti'rdhus 



If any man of the Son's party had achieved success in war, and nis 

 achievements had been acknowledged by the people, he could i-eque.st 

 the Son to have the ceremony of changing his name performed. 



This act could take place in the afternoon of the fourth day. The 

 Son would make the request known to the Father, the chief, who 

 passed it on to the Ku'rahus. 



If the llako ceremony was held in an earth lodge, the Ku'rahus, 

 accompanied by the Father and the Son, went outside and ascended 

 the roof; there, standing before the people gathered below, the Ku'rahus 

 recited in a loud voice the ritual used when changing a man's luune. 



If the Ilako ceremony had been held in a tent, a semicircular iuclo- 

 sure was made with saplings and there, under the open sky, in the 

 presence of all the people, the ritual was given and the name was 

 changed.
