ANIMAL- WORSHIP. 2 5 1 In many of their animal-dances, all the tribes are accus tomed to clothe themselves in animal dress and assume animal characters.
The Sioux have a bear-dance previous to starting on a bear- hunt, in which they sing to the bear-spirit. 1 This dance has religious significance, and may properly be termed a worship. They are clothed in bear-skins, or at... least some portion of one, and imitate closely the movements of that animal. They never neglect this ceremony, for if they did they would have no success.
The eagle-dance among the Choctaws is a very pretty scene gotten up in honor of that bird, for which they have religious regard. They are decorated with eagles feathers, and the dance is different from any other, consisting in hops and jumps, in imitation of that bird. 2 " The Tonkawas, " says Marcy, " like all the aborigines of this continent, likewise had their national dances for different important occasions, and among these ceremonies was one which seemed very curious and entirely different from any other I had heard of It was called the wolf-dance, and was intended to commemorate the history of their origin and crea tion.
