They built three great tepees, in one of which were stored rows upon rows of parfleche bags of dried meat. |
The body was wrapped in blankets and robes and bound around and around with parfleche ropes. |
The painted tongue and then the others are placed on the parfleche. |
They carry the parfleche with the tongues in it on a robe, each man holding a corner. |
Then everybody began to sing hard, and four young men pounded with sticks on a parfleche, in time to the music. |
Using a plastic tapestry needle as a substitute for a bone needle, the sides of the parfleche were stitched with raffia using any number of stitching techniques. |
