Not illustrated. 1913 Excerpt: ...secure supernatural aid, and afterward in the victory dance to commemorate the triumph and the means by. which he believed it had been attained. Odjlb'we stated that long ago a party of Chippewa attacked the Sioux, killing several and securing the scalps. Then they started for home with the Sioux in hot pursuit. The leader of the party was the singer of this song. In his youthful vision he saw a protecting cloud, and when the Sioux pressed close he sang his dream song.
