Analysis. — This and the following moccasin game song were said 

 to have been taught by the stranger (or manido') to the man who 

 had been dead. The stranger taught him to sing these songs in order 

 that he might play the game successfully. This song is in 5-4 time. 

 The first measure constitutes a rhythmic unit, which is twice repeated 

 accurately. The other measures show divisions, which closely 

 resemble those of the unit but are not complete repetitions. (See 

 Nos. 90, 94, 96, 108, 109, 115, 123.) It is mteresting to note these 

 variations and also to observe the rhythmic effect of the song as a 

 whole. The interval of the fourth is prominent in the formation of 

 the melody. This is found in man}' songs concerning animals and it 

 will be remembered that the manido' appeared to this man in the 

 form of a bear. (See No. 22.) A slow tempo in songs of controlled 

 excitement is noted also in Nos. 30, 51, 52, 161.
