Analysis. — The framework of this melody is one wliich is familiar in 

 these songs. The submediant chord forms the basis of the opening 

 measures, followed by a descent from the dominant to the mediant, a 

 descent of a minor third; after tliis the melody returns to the subme- 

 diant chord, and the song closes on the mediant. Comparison \nth 

 the preceding song ^vill show the same outline in that melody. About 

 half of the intervals in this song are minor tliirds. The intonation is 

 good, and the melody contains all the tones of the octave except the 

 seventh. The rhythm of the drum is one found frequently in the 

 Chippewa songs, but is much less common among the Sioux.
