He then points out someobject in the room which he wants to buy, and offers a price for it. The owner is obliged to sell the object pointed out, or to bartersomething of equal value. The narrator remembers that the dress of theparticipants was similar to that of the Indians of olden times. Heremembers, in the case of women, that they wore the variegated, pointed cap covered with beads, the loose robe, and leggings. The faceof the participant was painted, or daubed black with paint or powder. Th...is song is recorded on cylinder 17. The singer told me, and I can well believe it, that the song is veryancient. I have little doubt that in this ceremony we have a survivalof dances of the olden times, when they assumed a significance noweither wholly lost or greatly modified. It is not without probability that the songs sung as ancient songs mayhave modern strains in them, but as a general thing I think we can saythat they are authentic. I do not think I draw on my imagination whenI say that one can detect a general character in them which recallsthat of Western Indians.
