Abstract
"Once more the long roll of the tom-tom for generations the Indians signal to the dance and to war is sounding over the Toppenish prairie. Red men from all quarters of the northwest are assembled about the long house south of Toppenish for the annual winter ceremonial dance by which the Indian welcomes the new year and asks of the great Spirit that food shall be plentiful and the hunting good during the coming twelve months. The dance and feasting--for in the Indian rule he who dances must also feast--will be continued for another week."
