The dance-staged separately, the
first three days being given over
to the Shoshones and the second
three-day period to the Arapohoes-
was witnessed by several thousand
Indians from various Wyoming res
ervatiOnS. Many squaws came,
with papooses on their backs.
! Out at Fort Washable, sixteen
miles north of Lander, Wyo., the
Shoshones inauguarated the gro
tesque ceremony this" year.
The dance Is conducted with a
huge pole in the center Of circle
of twelve poles. The center stake,
according to Indian lore, represents
the deity, or sun, and tradition
names the twelve surrounding poles
as symbolical Of the twelve tribes
Of Hebrews. Around the outside

the ritual belief, that the soles OF
their feet may become calloused

Within the circle of poles the In

for three days and nights. Each
dancer has a bone whistle between
his teeth, and as he exhales his
breath the sound augments the

tomtoms.
Back and forth toward the center
pole the braves sway and hop, and
the steady hopping wears a deep
path in the ground.
During the marathon dance the
Indians take neither food nor water,
it being their belief that refresh
ments of any kind rob them of the
spiritual benefits derived througS
the long dancing ordeal.
The squaws and children stand
about the circle watching the dane
ers, urging them on by singing to
the time of the drums.
At intervals during the strange
performance the sick of the tribe
are brought . within the circls: the
dancers prance about them, striking
their chests with blunt instruments
that are believed to transmit health
and strength to the diseased.

BY the end of the third day many
Of the redskins are barely able to
crawl or utter a sound. Their
tongues are swollen from thirbt;
their bodies-half nude-show heavy
lines of fatigue, and, with faces
drawn and tense, they move back
ward and forward to the center pole
like automatons, almost crazed by
hunger and exhaustion.
With the faint streak of dawn
after the third night Of dancing, the
ceremony ends with paroxysms of
physical exertion and weird yells
and groans.
The sun dance of the Wyoming
Indians was prescribed several
years ago by the Indian agents, but
last year it was resumed. Indian
agents conferred with the tribal
leaders in an effort to continue the
b.tn, but advice was unavailing, and
il was feared that to interfere with
the ceremony might result in an IN
surrection. A compromise was
reached whereby the Indians agreed
| not to lacerate their bodies, as had
been the custom.
