The two dances I have mentioned
were the great ones of the two wild
tribes. There was also the green-corn
dance of the Sioux and the Navajos,
which took place in honor of the ripen-
ing of the corn and often ended in wild
orgies.
These were religious dances perform
ed really as a matter of duty to the
Great Spirit. But the kenest delight
was taken by every tribe in the social
dances. These varied greatly with each
tribe. They were the scene of many
courtship. Sometimes the dances were
in copies and sometimes in the nature
of reels; but usually they were the all

During the late years even these have

due to the forcible stopping of an inno-
cent social dance, from which no harm
could have come if it had been allowed
to proceed.
