Explanation. 



1 All the words in this entire song are either archaic or, what is 

 more likely, in a foreign language, the song having been introduced 

 from the Pueblo Indians of New Mexico. The words in the first lines 

 of the six verses, I infer from analogy, indicate the usual six ceremonial 

 directions as follows: 



First stanza: kowiya, north. 



Second stanza: wuniya, west. 



Third stanza: nukiya, south. 



Fourth stanza: haniya, east. 



Fifth stanza: toniya, above. 



Sixth stanza: wayana, below.
