Read these excerpts from the way to rainy mountain by n. scott momaday
the great central figure of the kado, or sun dance,
ceremony is the tai-
me. this is a small image, less than 2
feet in length, representing a human figure dressed in a
robe of white feathers, with a headdress consisting of a
single upright feather and pendants of ermine skin.
once i went with my father and grandmother to see the
tai-me bundle. it was suspended by means of a strip of
ticking from the fork of a small ceremonial tree. i made an
offering of red cloth, and my grandmother prayed aloud.
