672 Mourning and War Customs of the Kansas. [July, 
cept Paha"le-gaqli, returned to their homes. Paha"le-gaqli could 
not go to his home for four days. He had told the kettle-carriers 
to make him a small lodge by the course of a small stream which 
used to flow near his house. This was done by Gahia-ma"yi" and 
Tcehawale. Paha™le-gaqli was required to fast, wandering about 
and crying in solitary places, having clay on his face. At sunset his 
brother, Ijuka-gaqli, brought him water. Then could the mourner ` 
wash his face and drink a cupful of the water, but he could 
eat no food. After sleeping awhile at night, he arose and put 
more clay on his face. At sunset on the fourth day the four 
directors went to the house of Paha*le-gaqli and sent the four 
kettle-carriers to summon the mourner to his house. Then was 
he permitted to take food. The next morning he went for Gahia- 
mayi” and Tcehrwale. Before they arrived he and his wife left 
their house. He ordered thêm to invite the guests to his lodge. 
The messengers went in different directions, saying to each in- 
vited guest, “ I have come to call you to go on the war path.” 
And each man replied, “ Yes, I will go with you.” A lodge was 
set up near the house of Paha"le-gaqli, and there the guests as- 
sembled. 
Only two gentes met as such, the two Hafiga gentes, Black 
eagle and Chicken-hawk, but there were present the directors 
and kettle-carriers, some of whom were members of other 
gentes. 
The following figure shows the seats of the Hajiga men in the 
lodge:
