_Hunter. _ I will now say a little about the bear dance, and the wardance. The bear dance is performed by the Sioux before they set off ona bear-hunt. If the bear dance were left unperformed, they wouldhardly hope for success. The Bear spirit, if this honour were not paidto him, would be offended, and would give them no success in thechase.
_Austin. _ What! do the Sioux think there is a Bear spirit?
[Illustration: Bear Dance. ] _Hunter. _ Yes. The number of spirits of one kind or another, b...elievedin by the Indians, is very great. In the bear dance, the principalperformer has a bear-skin over him, the head of it hanging over hishead, and the paws over his hands. Others have masks of bears' faces;and all of them, throughout the dance, imitate the actions of a bear. They stoop down, they dangle their hands, and make frightful noises, beside singing to the Bear spirit. If you can imagine twenty bearsdancing to the music of the rattle, whistle, and drum, making oddgambols, and yelling out the most frightful noises, you will have somenotion of the bear dance.
