Daunis is a star at the Shagala in her low-cut jumpsuit. Instead of a corsage, Jamie gifts her a strawberry beaded bracelet that was made by someone Daunis knows. She’d mentioned that she didn’t like corsages, so Jamie’s thoughtfulness moves Daunis. Levi gives the opening remarks at the gala. Daunis criticizes his over-exaggerated inflection and way of talking, saying it seems like Levi is playing the “I am but a humble Indian routine” (360). Levi laughs at Daunis’s critique, saying he was just trying to give the white people in the room what they want. Levi gifts Daunis their dad’s necklace from his regalia because he said he couldn’t find the scarf from the photo that she wanted. Levi also tells her that there is another surprise waiting for her at her house.
Before they are introduced as a couple on the dance floor, Jamie asks Daunis what her spirit name is. After considering what Teddie said in the sweat lodge, Daunis tells Jamie that maybe she will tell him what it is someday, but not today. Ron intercepts Daunis on her way to the restroom because he can tell that she and Jamie have not put the brakes on their relationship like he asked.
