On only three of the four ceremonial days were observations made; whatever is here recorded of the other ceremonial day or of events after the ceremony, was obtained largely from Charles Michell, an English-speaking Osage who took an active part in the performance. . The spirit of a dead Osage must be avenged, whether the dead be a child, woman, warrior, or old man. The fulfilment of this obligation is in the immediate charge of a very near relative of the decedent, it is necessary that certain rites be performed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e George a.
