33 Hiawatha — Participants of the Elk Dance Synopsis of the Play : When the play opens the stage is empty save a handsome wigwam at its western end. A slow, blue spiral of smoke curling upward from a high cliff near by is the first sign of life to the waiting audience. Soon from all sides the warriors begin to gather. Canoe after canoe cuts its way through the water ; some come on foot and some on horseback, and the gathering throng glare at each other with menacing looks and actions as they wait expectantly to find out the meaning of the signal to gather together. Suddenly from a distance a voice rises in a slow, pleading melody, and the Great Spirit is calling to them in Longfellow's beautiful words — " <) my children ! my poor children Listen to the words of wisdom. Listen to the words of warning, From the lips of the Great Spirit, From the Master of Life who made you."
