of falsehood, and did not do iu the fight that which he has claimed for 

 himself. 



Rewards of bravery. — When all the warriors have thus been tested, 

 they are addressed by the holder of the wa^ixabe. To one who was 

 the first to take hold of a foe, he says, "^axe mtyag^'te ha," You shall 

 wear the crow in your belt. Sometimes he adds, " Sab6 fajpckaxe te. 

 gaxe ajaja pickaxe te ha."— You shall blacken yourself. You shall 

 male spots on yourself, resembling crows 1 dung. This warrior must blacken 

 his body, and then mark here and there spots with white clay. 



<jaf i n -na n paji said that the second who took hold of a foe had the fol- 

 lowing reward : He was allowed to blacken his body from the waist to 

 the shoulders, and to rub white clay down the tops of his shoulders. To 

 him was said, "Maca n -sk&, !}ahi n -wagfa n afag<fa n/ te ha,"— Tom shall 

 stick in your hair white eagle feathers, and wear the deer's-tail head-dress. 

 La Fleche and Two Crows said that this man was allowed to wear the 

 }ahi n -wag^a n alone on his head, and to put the crow in his belt. 



According to ,ja^i n na n pajl, the third warrior who caught hold of the 

 foe blackened his body thus : On the arms, at the elbows, on the ribs, 

 and hiusagi, he could make places as large as a hand (or, he could make 

 one side of his body black — sic). To him was said, " xahi n -wag<f a n niaca n 

 ^ing6 afagfa"' te ha," You shall wear the ^ahi u -wagf a n without any feath- 

 ers. But La Fleche aud Two Crows said that this man was told to 

 wear the crow in his belt ; and the fourth who took hold of the foe was 

 told to wear the qahi 11 wag£a n without any other decoration. 



< jafi n -na n paji said that he who disemboweled a fallen enemy with a 

 knife was permitted to stick a red feather in his hair. He blackened 

 his body from the waist up to the shoulder, and over the shoulder, then 

 down the back to the waist. He could redden his knife and dance as 

 a grizzly bear. But Two Crows, who has attended the scalp-dance, 

 never saw anything of this sort. 



According to < ja^i n -na n paji, he who killed a foe was rewarded in sev- 

 eral ways. He could wear the ^ehuqfabe 17 necklace, called the "gada- 

 daje waci"', and was addressed thus : " Gadadaje waci n/ na n/ £ap'i n te 

 ha," You can wear the ^ebuqfabe necklace. " Ma n/ -u^ubaski ai^agafa te 

 ha," You shall carry the ramrod on your arm. " xahi n -wag<fa n sia n ^e 

 aifag<£a n ' te ha," You shall wear the ^ahi n -w ag<fsa n alone in your hair. 

 (These were disputed by La Fleche and Two Crows.) " Ma n 'sa gasu ji- 

 de^6 ua n £ap'i n ' te ha," You shall wear an arrow shaft, scraped and red- 

 dened, suspended from your neck. (Confirmed by La Fleche and Two 

 Crows.) 



He who struck a foe with a hatchet, bow. etc., was allowed to redden 

 it and carry it to the dance, if he wished. 



Sometimes a warrior gave a gun, etc., to an old man, who went 

 through the camp telling of the generosity of the giver.
