WASP DANCE — HA'MASELAL.^ 



According to the legend, this dauce belongs originally to the 

 Ts'E'nts'Enx-q'aio, to one of whose ancestors the chieftaiiiess of the 

 Wasps apjieared. There is only one person at a 

 time owning this dance. I obtained only one line 

 of the song: 



1. Do not let lis go near the bouse of the wasp.- There is 

 great danger. 



KU'NXULAL, THUNDER BIRD DANCE.^ 



1. You are swooping down from heaven, i)ouncing upon a 

 whole tribe. 



2. You are swooping down from heaven, burning villages, 

 killing evei'ything before you, and the remains of the 

 tribes are like a rest of your food, great thunder bird; 

 great thunderer of our world. 



8. You are swooping down from heaven, going from one 

 tribe to the other. You seize with your talons the 

 cluefs of the tribes. 



KU'NXULAL, LA'LASIQOALA 



SONG-.^ 



This will be the dance of the 

 thunderbird. Wonderful will 

 be the dance of the thunder bird.
