In Section 5 of "The Moon Seasons," Elder Uncle and Grandfather prepare Ishi for manhood by taking him into the men's hut. There, he hears the stories and conversations of the men. He also learns to stay up all night, which will be helpful when he becomes a hunter, and he takes sweat baths with the men.
