Analysis. — Considering F sharp as the keynote of this song, we find 



the molody tones to be those of the second five-toned scale. The 



basis of the melody is the minor triad with minor seventh added. 



(See analysis of song No. 49.) Nearly half of the intervals are minor 



thirds. The song is melodic in structure and has a compass of 



10 tones.

1 Kai)§i' is the Sioux equivalent for Crow. Concerning the name of this tribe the Handbook of American 

 Indians (pt. 1, p. 367) states: "trans., through French gens des corbcaux, of their own name Absaroke, crow, 

 sparrowhawk, or bird people." The following forms occur in the words of these songs: Karigi' wic^a'sa 

 (Crow people), Xos. 127, 149, 179; Kar)gi' to'ka (Crow enemies), Nos. 169, 174; Psa'loka (corruption 

 of Absaroka, Teton dialect), Nos. 167, 168; Psa'doka (Santee dialect), No. 192.
