these he will take away; and also those that are creeping on the 
ground, and also those that are on the cradle boards; all these he 
will take away with him. 
Now then another thing we will say, we three brothers. Now 
you must feel for us; for we came here of our own good will— 
came to your door that we might say this. And we will say that 
we will try to do you good. When the grave has been made, we 
will make it still better. We will adorn it and cover it with moss. 
We will do this, we three brothers. 
Fig. 222 represents this speech. Fig. 223 contains some white 
beads, and is therefore of a more cheerful tone. The bunch is 
taken from the stick, as before, and borne to the mourners. 
2 Now another thing we will say, we Younger Brothers. You 
are mourning in the deep darkness. JI will make the sky clear for 
you, so that you will not see a cloud. And also I will give the sun 
to shine upon you, so that you can look upon it peacefully when it 
goes down. You shall see it when itis going. Yea! the sun shall

shall wash down all the troubles in your throat. We shall hope 
that after this your mind will recover its cheerfulness. This we 
say and do, we three brothers. 
In fig. 225 a few white beads appear. The bunch has its words: 
4. Now then there is another thing we say, we Younger Brothers. 
We will now remake the fire and cause it to burn again. And now 
you can go out before the people, and go on with your duties and 
your labors for the people. This we say and do, we three brothers. 
Fig. 226 has scattered white beads for the fifth speech. 
5 Now also another thing we say, we Younger Brothers. You 
must converse with your nephews; and, if they say what is good, 
you must listen to it. Do not cast it aside. And also, if the war- 
riors should say any thing that is good, do not reject it. This we

Fig. 227 is of purple beads, relating to the dead chief. 
6 Now then another thing we say, we Younger Brothers. If 
any one should fall—it may be a principal chief will fall and descend 
into the grave—then the horns shall be left on the grave, and as
