On the SUBMITS of some of these bluffs

A Time-Honored Observance.
For three days and nights the sun
dance continues. Once a powerful tribe
ca the frontier. the Poncas hold to the
traditions of their fathers with un-
usual tenacity. The sun dance, being
the principal festival of the year, is
especially es ,eemed, and it's observ
ance has become, through long contin-
uance, imperative. Time and environ
ment, it is true, have modified some
of its characteristic features, but in
the main it is precisely as it has been
for a century or more. The custom
came to the Poncas from the Sioux
long ago, but even at this day in es-
sential details it is the same as the
sun dance of the Sioux. The Poncas
say that the dance is an invocation to
the Great Spirit through the power and
majesty of the sun for an abundance of
food in the coming year and for preser-
vation from disease and evil spirits.
1t also expresses gratitude for what
ever good fortune has come in the past.
The literal significance of it's customs
and of the decorations and equipments
of dancers is difficult to learn. Even
the most capable students of the sun
dance have told little else than how it
