Historical SummaryAccompanying the sun dance of Plains Indians, which includes the terrible self-torture feature mentioned in Chap. XIII, there is a short period of relaxation of the sex inhibitions. Of the Arapaho Kroeber reports:
At the sun dance an old man, crying out to the entire camp circle, told the young people to amuse themselves; he told the women to consent if they were approached by a young man, for this was their opportunity; and he called to the young men not to beat or anger their wives, or be jealous during the dance: they might make a woman cry, but meanwhile she would surely be thinking of some other young man. At such dances the old women say to the girls: "We are old, and our skin is not smooth;
we are of no use. But you are young and plump; therefore find enjoyment. We have to take care of the children, and the time will come when you will do the same."1
