 (He meant the cannibal dancers.) "You shall go first when you try 

 to catch our || friend Q!ex'sesElas (V 4); and also you, ghost-dancers, 95 

 you shall go next to | the ^wtin^wunlx'Es; and you also, war-dancers; 

 and you, | Sparrow Society, shall follow the war-dancers; you shall 

 go behind our | friends, for indeed wo are now trying to imitate what 

 my wife told me ; | for she was told by her father, and she must give 

 us instruction and show us || what to do when the supernatural power 300 

 shows itself; and tliis is the beginning of the winter dance | of the 

 L !aL lasiqwala. My princess Qlex'sesElas (V 4) | has now been taken 

 by the ghosts. Now our names will be changed | in the morning. I 

 shall call you | m the morning, and your wives and your children.

 chief of the numaym Ma&mtag'ila, arose 1 and spoke. He said, 

 "You have heard the speech 1 of our chief YaqEyalisEm (V 6). Now 

 you have | another kind of supernatural power which you did not 

 know before. You are great. You || wUl act so that no wrong wiU 10 

 result, for we | are to use it later on. It is different from our super- 

 natural jiower, 1 what you received in war-marriage from your 

 father-in-law. Shall we not do, | my tribe, according to what you 

 say to usi | That is all." Thus he said, and then he sat down. ||
