| Bear dance |
| Bear dance. If they kill a bear they undress (cut off) its head and front paws. They come to the edge of the village, stop and set off the fire-arrowy [thing] (rifle), the village people (should) know, a bear has been killed. Afterwards they let out a shout and enter the village with the bear. Women jump towards them, throw snow and water at it and douse it. Afterwards the bear hide is stuffed with hay so that it looks like a bear. Then they place it on a table. The table is covered with a cloth and the bear's body is covered except for the face. They place the bear's head on its front paws and stretch it out. Silver (coins) are placed on its eyes, (so that) it can watch, its ears are sewn with beads. In front of the bear vodka, meat, bread and fat are placed, the people give a food offering. Drink vodka, eat meat, they say, they bow their heads. Bear, don't be angry, don't be angry, they say. Then one man starts the bear dance, he makes a face of birchbark, wraps his head with a large cloth, takes a cloth into his hand and performs a dance in front of the bear. The dombra is played. A man sits under the table, he growls like a bear, if the dancer comes close, he jumps out. He won't allow you to come near, he says. When they are done dancing, they shout out. They dance six days for the bear, on the seventh day they carry him out. |
