Elva: “We didn’t talk about that last night, remember the one when they say [Indian term], when a horse is inserted or blocks the doorway and people couldn’t go out, that’s when they danced all night and when a person goes out, that person has to give another horse, they sat that persons has opened the door, I know about that too. There used to be a grandstand where the tribal office is located. There was a grandstand and bleachers and in the back there were houses, they used to have a fair. They used to bring all their garden stuff and have displays and the ones that made quilts, they used to display these too. They would, you say that they assimilate the white culture, they would compete with one another and there they had a dance, I remember that when they [Indian term] for inserted a horse or blocked the doorway with a horse, those people that wanted to go home, they opened the door, somebody had pledged a horse and that’s how they opened the doors. That’s the only time I know of this happening when they inserted a horse to block the doorway.”
