the form of my face to-day. So then they shall use that as a means 

 when again customarily they will call on me that I should repeatedly 

 blow upon one who is ill. So then there is no objection that a human 

 being should impersonate me. So then surely one will cover the face 

 with that which is made to resemble the shape of my body, and that 

 will make it possible that they may go to the several lodges of the 

 people; then verily the members of the Society of Hadu'"i' must 

 there impersonate me. 



"As soon verUy as they will arrive there then they shall begin, and 

 they shall blow repeatedly on the person who is ill, and it is well 

 known that that is just the same as if I myself had blown on that 

 one repeatedly. That verily shall control that they shall make 

 preparations when one turns toward me to beseech me to give aid 

 to one. 



"So then native tobacco shall be one of the principal things there, 

 that verily they whom I greet as 'My Dear Grandchildren ' will pledge 

 their words with it. So one will do when one speaks, that customarily 

 one shall hold in the hand that which I regard highly, native tobacco. 



"So then usually one will cast the native tobacco on the fire, then 

 at that time verily smoke will arise therefrom. Then at that time 

 verily it will be possible that I myself shall draw in the smoke. So 

 then that shall be one of the principal things that one will continue to 

 use much as a means, and one will continue to impersonate me; 

 that then one must use the fire kindled by mankind, therefrom cus- 

 tomarily one will take up hot ashes, that one will use to blow repeat- 

 edly over the entire bodj' of the person who is sick. Then at that 

 time the disease, sickness, will go away. 



"In the next place that shall be one of the main things provided 

 when one will call upon me, and which I highly prize, parched corn 

 mush; so then usually one will prepare a kettle of it when the rite will 

 start that I will blow upon one repeatedly. So thus it shall continue 

 to be and no matter at what time (of the year). That will be able 

 to cause one, too, who is ill to recover health. " 



Now at that time De'hae"'hiyawa"kho°' said, "Now verily thou 

 hast completed the arrangements according to thy mind as to thy 

 position on the earth present here. So there." Now at that time 

 they two separated. 



Now De'hae°'hiyawa"kho'" went home. When he arrived again 

 at the place where his brush lodge stood he said, and spoke to 

 Odcndoi:ni"a', "Now I have returned. Now the whole matter has 

 been arranged as to what will come to pass. So, now then let us two 

 go there to the place which I had appointed. "
