1036 THE GHOST-DANCE RELIGION [eth.ann.14 



Translation 



While I was going about. 



Wlnle I was going about, 



Among the people, at my home, 



Among the people, at my home, 



I saw them, 



I saw them, 



Where they gambled, 



Where they gambled. 



With the ifko'yo wheel, 



With the iCko'yo wheel. 



This song was also composed by Mo' ki, the wife of Grant Left- 

 hand. The expression here rendered "my home'' is literally "where I 

 belonged," as, since the death of her children, she speaks of the spirit 

 world as her own proper home. In this song she tells how she found 

 her departed friends playing the game of the a lo'i/o or ba'qati wheel, 

 as described in Arapaho song 49. 



Hi. Ni'ha — E'yehe'e'yeye

This son", conveys nearly the same idea as that of number 8. The 

 expression " We are all crying" might be rendered "We are all pleading, 

 or praying" to the father, to hasten his coming.
