AU the rabbits got in thé first drive will belong to the town chief; in the second drive, to the hunt chief; in the third drive, to the chakabede, kumpa and the war chief.

CEREMONY OF HUNT CHIEF 66a
The hunt chief holds his ceremony late in October after the harvest. He asks the town chief for permission to hold it, and he asks for the cooperation of the war chief and the war captains. The hunt chief is in retreat for four days, performing ceremonial at noon of the fourth day. He blows smoke into his medicine bowl, and he smokes M* Compare Lummis 2: 209-218.
