THE LAST WAR DANCE HAT has been com- . r monly term.ed a war f dance by th.e white :cgi people . and younger ,mr pf - generation of the In- Q dian race in Butte County is called the Aki Dancef' or cere- monial dance of elec- tion by the older members of the tribe. 'I , None of the aforemen- tioned generation and white race have ever had the pleasure of witnessing a real war dance. The last dance of this sort was held in the village of the Concows, in the eastern part of thgis county, where dwelt the remains of a powerful tribe, the biggest part of which had been moved to a reservation by the Federal Government. There had always been a dispute between the Con- cows, so the relator' says, and the Mechoopdas, that began years before th.e time of this last dance, over hunting rights of the two tribes. The trouble was never satisfactorily settled. ' One day Hoolika, head chief of the Concows, while on his way to the fishing grounds of his tribe to make offerings to the Great Spirit for a bountiful season, fell into the hands of a party of Mechoopdas of wh.ich Cetok, son of Ceto, the head chief of the Mechoopdas, was leader. The two recognized each other from their dress. Ah! said Cetok with a sneer, VVhat would the Concows say or do if they knew their chief was at the mercy of a Me-choopda? Old as he was, Hoolika drew himself erect before this young man and proudly said, Never would Hoolika crave mercy from a Mechoopda, for the Concows, when they know that their chief is dead, will answer with warg and never will they cease until the blood of Getok shall pay for the blood of their chief. Then, Hoolika, I shall send you to the Great Spirit and we shall see what the Concows can do. So saving. Cetok raised his spear and drove it through the heart of the aged chief. Taking the body with them. the Mechoopdas went back to their home, where a war dance was held. All the warriors went through the ceremony of gratifying revenge by driving their arrows into the body of the chief, while Cetok's mother stood before it and tauntingly cried, Hear me. G Hoolika! You were on your way to your fishing . -2 4--
