[Indian Games and Dances with Native Songs by Alice C. Fletcher]@TWC D-Link bookIndian Games and Dances with Native Songs PART II 45/75
There they sing the Victory Song. VICTORY SONG [Music] As they sing they sway their arms as though hiding the balls, and dance to the rhythm of the song.
Four times they dance around the standard and sing the Victory Song.
All movements must be in time with the song.
At the close of the fourth circuit of the standard, all return to their appointed places and the game is resumed. The Custodian takes up the drum, carries it to the side that has just danced and sets it before the three Singers of that side.
The Guesser, who is of the opposite side, designates the two who are to hide the balls and the game proceeds as described above. Whenever a side that has been hiding the balls fails three times to elude the Guesser, then the Custodian takes the drum from that side and carries it to the other side of the circle, puts it before the Singers and gives the balls as directed.
