PRAYERS BEFORE GOING ON A WAR PARTY
Before going on tbe warpath the bow priests are summoned to their ceremonial house. The chief bow priest addresses them:
Now this many days
Because of the thoughts of the enemy Our thoughts have been troubled; 5 Our appetite has failed.
This very day
That by whieh they live,
Turquoise,4
To my fathers I have offered
At ail their abiding places.
11 Yonder into the enemy's country We shall take the warpath.
Because of the enemy,
Because of their thoughts,
15 We wish in vain see one another,5 We can not see him of whom we think.
Because it is thus,
To be avenged
We have made up our minds.
20 My children,
You shall set your minds to be men. You shall think to provide yourselves with good weapons.
Then, perhaps, we shall have the good fortune,
To get that which we wish,
25 That for which we ask-
Namely that with the enemies' flocks,
Their clothing,
Their precious stones,
Their good shell beads,
30 That with these our houses may obtain hearts,
For this we have sent forth our prayers.
Waiting anxiously until the appointed time shall come,
Cleansing our hearts,
Cleansing our thoughts,
35 Thus shall we live.
Indeed we shall not be alone.
Because yonder ail about
Abide our fathers.
< Turqaoise, above ail else, the gift to the gods of war. s Some of our number have died.
