A portion of the Enemyway where the Tail Song group, composed of a selected group of men and women who have been affected by the Enemyway, who dance around the scalp. This dance is considered a battle against the enemy and so their limbs are held loose from their body in preparation for battle. This dance and the accompanying song are the final portion of the Enemyway, as they are sending the ghost of the enemy away.
