Colorful and rhythmic, these expressive dances are animated prayers for salvation and are an at- tempt to attain his life's goal. Four dances have been chosen for the divisional pages of this book. In the Corn Dance each Indian adorns himself with green corn stalks and dances for rain to ensure a good harvest. Before the hunt the Indian, wearing the head of the buffalo over his own head and shoulders, dances, chanting to the God of the Hunt. Honoring a Kachina or God, the Kachina Doll Dance uses the full costume of the Kachina. Be- lieving that the snake is an intermediary to God, the Indian chants to snakes throughout the Snake Dance. At the end of the ceremony, four warriors, following the points of the compass, carry the snakes out into the desert and release them to go down to the lower world to give the messages of the Indians to God. Through the dances the Indian expresses his de- sire for success in his endeavors. Students of Chaffey are the recipients of a rich educational heritage, and through the wise use of that heritage, they are, like the Indian, striving toward the realization of their ulti- mate ambition. qi.. -is Q' 1- L.
