Even the dogs were not forgotten, butreceived a liberal share of the refuse portions of the feast. The usual games and amusements followed, and from the deepest gloom anddespondency all seemed to pass at once to the other extreme, and joy andexultation to reign supreme. From the distance required to be traversed, the hunting parties wouldusually not return until the third day after their departure. Then cameanother scene of feasting, but this time on a far larger scale. Thechoicest pieces are s...acrificed to appease their mysterious god, withoutwhich ceremony the Indians believe that all their future hunts would beunsuccessful. The largest portion of the meat is cured and made intotasajo, so that the proceeds of one successful hunt will often providethe entire community with food for many weeks. [Illustration: The Buffalo Dance. ] When I first saw the buffalo dance, I viewed it with much interest, butwhen continued for days and weeks, it becomes excessively wearisome fromthe perpetual howling din and clamor kept up, keeping the village in acontinual uproar, and usually causing me to offer up most ferventprayers that the buffalo would "come, " if it was only to be relievedfrom the noise and confusion which are occasioned by this curiousceremony.
