Hasjelti said: "My grand- child, you will be called Jil yenn taeye, and j'^ou must dance like the dancers that you have ; Hasjelti said that the dancers must dress in the following manner: 12 tail feathers with little singing birds on their tips for the head- dress ; the growing corn with a tassel for a nose; the skirt and leggings and moccasins of buckskin with fringe; and a sacred belt with trim- mings. Each dancer must hold a sacred f awnskin medicine bag in his right hand. Now Hasjelti had planned how the monsters should be killed; how the White Bead Woman, was to be formed; how the two dogs should be the guards of the people; and how the ceremonial people should dance. He planned the clan called Tat chee. The Tat chee people have fiery tempers, broad faces, and large heads. " Informant's note: The medicine used lu the Dog Ceremony is for stomach ailments.
