| Then everybody began to sing hard, and four young men pounded with sticks on a parfleche, in time to the music. |
| The parfleche of tongues and other paraphernalia are brought out by the attending women and put down beside the couple. |
| They built three great tepees, in one of which were stored rows upon rows of parfleche bags of dried meat. |
| They carry the parfleche with the tongues in it on a robe, each man holding a corner. |
| Corresponding holes in the front of the parfleche were punched with a tapestry needle. |
| One strip of raffia about a foot long was slipped through the holes in the front of the parfleche from the inside, pulled even and glued into place. |
