nished the tribe the opportunity for the 

 expression of emotion in rhythm, and 

 was the occasiion of the tribe becoming 

 more closely united. It gave opportunity 

 for the making and renewing of common 

 interests, the inauguration of tribal poli- 

 cies, and the renewing of the rank of the 

 chiefs; for the exhibition, by means of 

 mourning feasts, of grief over the loss of 

 members of families; for the fulfilment of 

 social obligations by means of feasts; and, 

 finally, for the exercise and gratification 

 of the emotions of love on the part of the 

 young in the various social dances which 

 always formed an interesting feature of 

 the ceremony. With the disappearance 

 of tribal organization and tribal interests, 

 there is no doubt of the ultimate doom of 

 the Sun dance. See Ceremony, Dance,
