 I do not care for you any more 

 Some one else is in mv thoughts 



The mournfulness of this song, like the preceding, suggests that the 

 Indian has some difficulty in transferring his affections. Ki'tci- 

 mak'wa, who sang the song, assured me that he was the best singer 

 on the White Earth reservation. His voice is full and resonant. At 

 the dances he sits at the drimi for hours at a time, leading both 

 singing and drumming. 



Analysis. — E flat is the only tone occurring in this melody which 

 marks it as minor, and this was sung slightly higher than the proper 

 pitch. This song is, however, plainly minor in tonality. Like most 

 of the love songs, it is widely known on the reservation.
