is one of the few ceremonies still in ex-
istence among the uncivilized tribes in
which the sun is directly the object of
worship. The dance takes place at the
winter solsiice when the sun has re-

ern sky. It's object is primarily to in
duce the sun TO recede from its soufh b.

secondary object is TO extend peace Of

deity hostile TO the sun, in order that his
wrath may be appeased and he may
cease to chase the sun away from the

by the swift movement of monster

with a shield on which were repre-

the warrior representing the sun, and a
battle ensued in which the lone warrior
