Oki'tcita'' Leader of the warriors 



Toki^ya Where are you? 



This is an old melody sung at a woman's dance given in special 

 honor of some warrior. In such a case two women would provide 

 the gifts and act as hostesses. At the opening of such a dance this 

 song would be sung by the men at the drum, calling for the war- 

 rior in whose honor the dance was given. As soon as the song 

 began the warrior would rise and begin to dance; then the two women 

 would rise, after which the guests would join the dance. When the 

 song was finished the warrior would relate his principal deed of valor; 

 then the women would distribute the gifts they had provided, it 

 being understood that they gave these presents in behalf of the 

 warrior. 



Analysis. — The accidental in this song was accurately given in all 

 the renditions. A sixteenth note accented and followed by a dotted 

 eighth is a rhythmic peculiarity of this song.
