SOCIAL SONGS ON WHITE EARTH AND LEECH LAKE

Ina'sUNDJIGAN NAGUMO'WIN (DrEAM SoNGS) 



The songs in this group are not composed in the usual sense of the 

 term, but are songs which are said to have come to the mind of the 

 Indian when he was in a dream or trance. Many Indian songs are 

 intended to exert a strong mental influence, and dream songs are 

 supposed to have this power in greater degree than any others. The 

 supernatural is very real to the Indian. He puts himself in com- 

 munication with it by fasting or by physical suffering. While his 

 body is thus subordinated to the mind a song occurs to him. In 

 after years he believes that by singing this song he can recall the 

 condition vmder which it came to him — a condition of direct com- 

 munication with the supernatural. It is said that no drum is used 

 at this time, the drum being added when the song is rehearsed and 

 sung afterward. 



These dream songs are considered under three divisions: First, 

 songs of the doctor; second, song of the juggler; and, third, songs 

 which were composed during periods of fasting or of mental stress 

 and were used later as war songs or in other connections. The songs 

 of each division are preceded by an explanation of the circumstances 

 under which they were composed or sung.
