“[M]i´tcigu-e´, haⁿ´ba ya´li kŭⁿ´bla eyau´. Ciñ´gajiñ´ga yi´ta O grandfather, day good I desire indeed. Child your be decorated (_or_ painted) kik’ŭⁿ´yakiye´ tce au´[64], a´be au´.” i.e., “They say, ‘O you cause him to will . they . be decorated (_or_ say painted) grandfather (said to one of the Kaⁿze gens), I wish good weather. Please cause one of your children to be decorated!’” Then the youngest son of one of the Kaⁿze men, say one over 4 feet high, is chosen for the purpose, and painted with red paint (I´gamaⁿ jü´dje i´kik’ŭⁿ´kiya´be au). The youth rolls over and over in the snow and reddens it for some distance all around him. This is supposed to stop the storm. GOVERNMENTAL INSTRUMENTALITIES. § 56.
