498 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1895. 



It may be that the following soug belongs to the same mask: ^ 



1. Aiabaia! Sing Haialik'alaL, sing winter dance songs, great superniitural spirit! 



2. Aia haia! Then the people will ask you to fulfill their desires, great siiperuatural 



spirit. 

 .3. Aia haia! Then they will take the cedar bark ornaments out of your hair, great 



supernatural spirit. 

 4. Aia haia! Then they will ask you to give them plenty to eat, great supernatural 



spirit. 



The dance Hai'alik-auae of the various tribes belongs here, but I have 

 not been able to collect any of the songs belonging to it. Figs. 173-177 

 (pp. 517-520) show the ornaments of the Kwakiutl dancer; figs. 178- 

 180 (pp. 521-523), the ornaments of Hai'alik-auae of the Mmkish; and 

 fig. 181, p. 5 -4, the L'a'sq'enox. 



The ring of the shaman (fig. 182) is figured on page 525. 



The La'Lasiqoala embrace all those who are for the first time initiated 

 as winter dancers in one group, who are called wa'tanEm, the lowest 

 grade of the winter dance societies. Their head ring is shown in fig. 

 383 (p. 525). 



The same type of ring, but somewhat larger, is used by the chief of 

 the killer whale society of the Kwakiutl (fig. 184, p. 526). 



Following is a wa'tanEm song:^ 



1. You do not go into Wina'lagilis' canoe, you wIk) are known everywhere. 



2. You do not go into Wma'lag'ilis' canoe, you whose name is known everywhere. 



3. You, who will be feared by all the supernatural beings 



4. You, great one, who will be feared by all the supernatural beings. 



The head ring worn by the que'qutsa is shown in fig. 185 (!>. 527). 

 When a person is to be initiated for the first time, he receives among 

 the Kwakiutl the rings shown in figs. 18G, 187 (pp. 527, 528). 



It remains to give a list of the dances according to their rank. There 

 are many among them, about which I have no further information than 

 that contained in the following list. I also give the number of songs 

 which belong to each dancer, his whistles, and secret songs, which are 

 sung by the dancer himself. This order has reference, of course, only 

 to the Kwakiutl proper: 



1. Awi'loLlaL, four songs; four whistles; secret song. Hemlock rings. (Dancers 



who have acquired lui'mats'a, liai'alik-ilaL, t'6'X'uit.)
