3 catch the ghost-dancer, the one who gives the winter dance to the 

 tribe calls the people; | and four rattles are taken and are given to the 

 5 one who || takes care of the cedar-bark. There are four of them. 

 Then he takes them, | and he begins to shake one of them, and sings 

 his four I secret songs. He stands still while he is singing three of his 

 secret songs; | and when he sings his fourth secret song, he walks | 

 and goes around the fire in the middle of the house. He pretends to 



10 look for the war-dancers; || and when he finds one, he gives the rattle 

 that he was using to her; and he | gives the other three rattles to 

 three war-dancers. | When they all have them, the four war-dancers 

 stand up together. | They shake their rattles and sing each her 



15 secret song, | for they are war-dancers; and when they finish |1 their 

 secret songs, the man who takes care of the rattles takes the four | 

 rattles and carries them again, walking around the lire in the middle 

 of the house, | and he gives one rattle each to the four frog-war- 

 dancers. I Then they stand up, shake their rattles, and | each sings 



20 her secret song about the frogs in their bodies. Then || they take 

 their rattles and put them away. | They take red cedar-bark and 

 give it to the cannibal-dancer; | and when each cannibal-dancer has 

 a piece of it, they all get excited. Then they all | run out, and the 

 people who try to catch the ghost-dancer run after them. | Then the 

 wai'-dancers and the frog-dancers are next to the cannibal-dancers, ||
