"They did not bury him. They only arranged him on a carrying frame. Thus did they adorn the dead: they inserted a feather labret in his lips, and they painted black the hollows about his eyes; they painted red about the lips with ochre, and they striped his body with white earth. He wore his paper stole; its ends passed under his armpits. "And when they had adorned him, then they stretched him on the carrying frame; they bound him there with the carrying frame cords. Thereupon they bore him to a mountaintop. There they stood him up; they leaned the carrying frame against a post. There his body was consumed. "And they said that indeed he had not died, for he had gone to heaven; he followed the sun. And just so was it said of those who died in war; they said that they followed the sun; they went to heaven."
