instructions to the class. the noccasin
game, Russian baths, feasts and con.
ferences. At the end Of eight days,
without any cessation. those who
were to be initiated into the mysteries
of the medicine dance had been
sufficiently instructed to create the
necessity OF setting the outlines Of the
medicine lodge. which was built along
through the center of the village by
the erection of stakes and the con.
straction OF an nclosure. The head
men then proceeded with all the mys-
teries Of the medicine dance perfor.
mances
1t seems that there was only one
Indian in the Ojibway nation who
was able to give the last word and the
highest sign which constitute the final
instruction in that lodge.
By mere accident, through no
fault of the writer of this article, the
very old and worn birch lark chart
Of that medicine lodge came legitima-
tely into his hands. With the knowl-
edge of those people, that bark chart
had been published and made copy
right in 1901. On return visit to
one of the principal men of the Mile
Lac band long conversation was held
concerning the uses and purposes of
the chart in addition to the descrip.
tions which had been given through
a competent interpreter at the time
the medicine lodge was in progress of
completion. His name was Sa gutch a,
a member of the Bear family. Whea
the chart of the medicine lodge was
exhibited to Sa gutch at Mile Lac
he demanded to know by what
authority I was in possession of the
ancient and honorable document of
his people, which bore to them the
great significance to their lives, hap.
piness, religious beliefs, customs and
ceremonial performances. The ex.
PLANTATION which followed was entir ely
satisfactory to Sa gutch u. He yielded
to request for an entire description
of all of the intricacies and peculiari-
ties of the chart descriptive of the life
line, which extended at the opening of
the medicine lodge through the
various proceedings to the highest
order for the government, control and
direction Of the religious ceremonies,
which were sacredly performed during
the several weeKs of time when the
uses of the medicine lodge were under
way for the instruction of the seven
candidates who were that year initiat-
ed into the mysteries of the medicine
dance. - -.
