PRAYERS AND CHANTS 



759 



90 The top of my head 

 Four times he sprinkled. 

 Where his seat was laid 

 He took hold of me. 

 Presenting me to all the directions, 

 He made me sit down. 

 95 Taking his grandson, 

 Reed youth, 

 Within his body, 

 Four times he bored a hole going 



through. 

 Four times drawing toward him 



his bag of native tobacco. 

 100 He put his hand in. 



Into the palm of his hand 



Four times he measured out 



tobacco. 

 Into his body, 



Four times he stuffed the mist. 

 105 He took his grandmother by the 



hand. 

 Four times inhaling he drew the 



mist through; 

 Into his body 

 He drew the misty breath. 

 Yonder on all sides 

 110 With mist he added to the hearts 



of his fathers. 

 He handed it to me. 

 Four times inhaling I made the 



mist pass through. 

 Into my body 

 I drew the mist. 

 115 Yonder on all sides. 



With mist I added to the hearts 



of my fathers. 



This is well : 



120 That the rain makers may not 

 withhold their misty breath, 



With mist I added to their liearts. 



When all this was at an end. 

 Then we greeted one another with 



terms of kinship: 

 Father, son ; elder brother, younger 

 brother; uncle, nephew; grand- 

 father, grandson, ancestor, de- 

 scendant.
