U THE WHITE DOG
Indians Want to Revive an An
Client Rite.
The OnondaSas and IroQuois Will
UAite to Accomplish This OBJ
ject - The Religious
Ceremony.

The Onondaga Indians and their
brothers among the Iroquois are said
to be planning to revive the ceremony
Of burning the white dog. This is one
of the most ancient religious rites Of the
Iroquois nation, dating back far beyond
the time when the white man first
came to know them; but it has not
been observed of late, except at rare and
irregular intervals. The fact that the
Indians now wish to revive this rite il
only one of a number Of indications
that 60 to show the firm hold which the
traditions Of his race have upon the red
man.
Almost every settlement of Indians in
this country to-day is divided into two
classes; those who have accepted the
religion of the white man as well as his
dress and n of life. and those who
still cherish the beliefs of their ances-
tors and keep up, SO far as the can, the
observances of their ancient worship.
So the fact that the Onondagas are
likely to revive the sacrifice of the white
dog means simply that the pagan party
among them has been gaining ground
during the last few years.
The old English recipe: How to
cook a rabbit" started of by saying:
first catch the rabbit" So, in the sac
rifice Of the dogs, the first and most
difficult thing was to secure a pair OF
white dogs. In order to make the
rite effective, it was considered neces-
sary that the dogs be perfectly white,
without q dark hair on their bodies,
and the Indians would go almost any
length to secure such animals. The
dogs were treated with especial care,
n made as sleek and fat as possible be-
lore the sacrifice. It was regarded as a
great honor to be appointed to care for
these sacred beasts.
In the old times the hunters secured
the woods for days before the ceremony,
I'M brought in many a fat buck and
other wild game for the beast, which is
an Important part of every Indian ceie-
oration. Now the deer have dlsap-
Peared and the feast is supplied with
more domestic animals. Many OF the
reservation dogs, whose coats would

tral figures in the sacrifice, nevertheless
mysteriously disappear about this
time, and it is suspected that they help
NIL the steaming caldrons at the great
feast.

eneir families gather at the council
