To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is sung at transfers and the words are, "I have a mind to take it back." Digitized by VjOOQIC 146 Anthropological Papers American Museum of Natural History. [Vol. VII, It is explained that a famous bundle owner once transferred his bundle to a man who ovmed a very fine horse under the impression that it would be among the gifts and when he saw that it was not, he sang this song. Since then it has been a part of the formula and is often the occasion for great mirth and a hint for the purchase...r to make more gifts.
There are other songs making a total of seventy or more, but the above are the usual ones in ceremonies. In cases of transfer all the songs must be sung in the correct order, but in other ceremonies the leader can close at any time after the bundle is open. To do this he sings the closing song: taking up a drum, swinging it slowly, and laying it down with the refrain, " Where I sit is powerful." In general, it will be seen that the opening of the bundle is preliminary and that what follows is a song and dance for each important object in the bundle, each of which symbolizes some concept of power.
