William White reporteth these their ceremonies of honoring the sun: By break of day, before they eat or drink, the men, women, and children above ten years old run into the water, and there wash a good space till the sun arise; and then they offer sacrifice to it, strewing tobacco on the land or water; the like they do at sunset.
