Read the excerpt from “life among the piutes.”

our boys are introduced to manhood by their hunting of deer and mountain-sheep. before they are fifteen or sixteen, they hunt only small game, like rabbits, hares, fowls, etc. they never eat what they kill themselves, but only what their father or elder brothers kill. when a boy becomes strong enough to use larger bows made of sinew, and arrows that are ornamented with eagle-feathers, for the first time, he kills game that is large, a deer or an antelope, or a mountain-sheep. then he brings home the hide, and his father cuts it into a long coil which is wound into a loop, and the boy takes his quiver and throws it on his back as if he was going on a hunt, and takes his bow and arrows in his hand. then his father throws the loop over him, and he jumps through it. this he does five times. now for the first time, he eats the flesh of the animal he has killed, and from that time he eats whatever he kills but he has always been faithful to his parents’ command not to eat what he has killed before. he can now do whatever he likes, for now, he is a man, and no longer considered a boy.

a. piute boys jump through a hide hoop five times during the manhood ceremony.

b. the boy holds his quiver during the manhood ceremony.
