Long House Indians
(CofUinued from Page Four.)
tko evil deeds they had committed within
the year. After all had "talked out" U s
'Ho-non-di-out" sent up this Invocation.
Wtta the smoke of too sacrifice:
"Thou Who hast created all thlns and
ruleot ail thinaa, aad Who glvest laws and
commands to Thy creatures, lls'.ea to our
words. Wo now obey Thy comiuanCa That
whlua Thou haa made Is retu.xln to thee.
Its breath la ruin to Thee, by whloo It
r our wrrd are true."
Inatead of the white dog, Indian toboooo
was ored tola year. Chief Cornplanter
wus asked why the dog waa omitted. Hia
reply waa:
"Hecuuse there are no more doga of pure
Indian blood. We use Instead Indian to
bticco." Nobody is obliged to take tte .statement
at Its faoo value.' Aa a matter of fact,
any white dog- would find It better tor his
health to avoid the reservation about the
time of the New Tear celebration. As to
tUe Indian tobacco. It la the general opinion
that to use It aa a aacrlnoe Is the vary teat
thing that can bo done with it.
The "talking out" and the invocation go
with the toUuxxs the same aa If It wore a
dug that waa being burned up. The Idea
hack of th Indian roiud In connection with
the aacrlfioe Is not of atonement for sin,
because they believe an act once committed
la beyond lecail. But It can be offset by a
good act, and In sending to the Great Spirit
the best they have, the dog, which la man's
faithful companion, or the tobacco, man's
chief solace, the Indians carry out their
ancient covenant with the Great Spirit, by
which He ' aareed to aend them always
things needed for-life aa long as they re
weinbared to send something of the sama
kind back to Him once a year,
Accompanying the aacrlnce, the "Ho-noo-dl-ont"
offered a prayer thanking "H-wen-eu"
f or the harvest, for the "three
sisters" the beans, corn and squash for
the winds that banish disease, fxr the rain
that loosens the soli for the aeeda, for the
moon and stars that watch the earth while
the sun rests, for ths wisdom that keeps
from evlL for the "Ho-no-cbe-no-keh" or
whole spiritual world subservient to the
Great Spirit.
But while the Indians took part In thee
ceremonies as a matter of course, their
yca'dld not really brighten until the morn
ing of the fifth day, Wednesday. Then be
gan the games, which ountlnued Into Thurs
day, and In which all took part.
The games were played outside of the
