text_original: Behind the tribes was the little group of hunting shirts, the men leaning on the barrels of their long rifles, indolent but watchful. Here and there a gay uniform of a Spanish or Creole officer, and behind these all the population of the village that dared to show itself. The ceremonies began with the kindling of the council fire,  a rite handed down through unknown centuries of Indian usage.
