"We always have seen strange things this day," said her bull husband. "He whom wetrampled to death, even into teeny pieces, is alive again. The people'smedicine is very strong. Now, before you go, we will teach you our danceand our song. You must not forget them."[1] When the dance was over, thebull said: "Go now to your home, and do not forget what you haveseen. Teach it to the people. The medicine shall be a bull's head and arobe. All the persons who are to be 'Bulls' shall wear them when theydance."
[Footnote 1: Here the narrator repeated the song and showed the dance. Asis fitting to the dance of such great beasts, the air is sluggish and solemn,and the step ponderous and deliberate.]
Great was the joy of the people, when the man returned with hisdaughter. He called a council of the chiefs, and told them all that hadhappened. Then the chiefs chose certain youthful men, and this man taught themthe dance and song of the bulls, and told them what the medicine shouldbe. This was the beginning of the _I-kun-uh'-kah-tsi_.
