 and wlien they are all inside, the Sparrow Society men, | women, and 

 children come in. Then | YaqEyalisEm (V 6) will give away property 

 for the one who has been caught, and he will change his name. 1| 



50 Tlien his name will be HoLelid (V 6), for this is the name of my 

 father; | and after he has given away property, HoLelid (V 6) will ask 

 help from | your uninitiated children, chiefs, for he must take hold 

 of the lasso | for the ghost-dancer to-morrow night, when she comes 

 down to the floor of the house. | HoLelid (V 6) will put the rope 



55 around her waist. — Now, come and || take this lasso, HoLelid, for 

 what I told you is all that is to be done | about the ghost-dancer." 

 Thus she said. | 



Immediately HoLehd (V 6) went and took the lasso, which was made 

 of long 1 cedar rope, and thanked his wife for her speech. When | he 



60 had thanked his wife, ho turned to the || chiefs who were sitting down, 

 and he said, "Indeed, we shall | be chiefs. Now you have heard the 

 speech of my father-in-law. It is not my | wife here who speaks of 

 these instructions which she gave us for my winter dance, which 1 

 give with the | marriage gift, that was given to us, chiefs of the 

 Kwakiutl; | it is he who comes and speaks in my house here. Now, 



65 take good care, || so that we shall not miss any of the instructions 

 given to us, for | it is the first time that this will be shown by you, 

 cliiefs of the Kwakiutl ! " | Thus he said. |
