are indeed his doing. It is a very strict requirement that a medicine-man shall 

 act out his dream, and that he maintain absolute integrity of character. If he fails 

 to do this he will be punished and will not live long. I am not required to fast, 

 only to smoke, showing that I am at peace with all men. Dreams come to me 

 now in a natural way. Often during the day when I am alone on a journey and 

 my mind is on many things, I stop to rest a while. I observe what is around me, 

 and then I become drowsy, and dream. Often I see the sacred stones in my dreams. 



Brave Buffalo did not record a song of his dream of the sacred 

 stones, but among the songs recorded by him is a song belonging to 

 Crow Bear, his father, who was a famous singer and medicine-man. 

 Brave Buffalo said his father was required by one of his dreams to 

 sing this song every morning, and that he never failed to do so. The 

 song was used in the treatment of the sick, during which it was cus- 

 tomary to use the drum, as indicated.
