His prolonged fasts, his long war-paths, penances, and macerations, and his religious observances, have principally this sole end. To wear an eagle's plume, the emblem of an Indian warrior, is in his eyes supreme honor, and the most magnificent of ornaments ; for it betokens that he has already distinguished himself in battle. Generally at the age of seventeen or eighteen years, after the first fast, and after having selected his wah-kon, manitou, or tutelary spirit, the youthful savage joins t...he war- parties, which are composed solely of volunteers.
A chief, or a partisan, who wishes to form a war-party, presents himself in the midst of the camp, tomahawk in hand, and painted with vermilion, the symbol of blood. He intones his war-song : this kind of song is short. The war- AND MISSIONARIES. 157 chief proclaims with emphasis his lofty deeds, his patriotic and martial ardor the sentiments and motives which prompt him to vengeance. His song is accompanied with the drum and the sischiquoin, or gourd filled with little pebbles.
