these songs arc molodic^s of distinct classos, No. 225 being a song of 

 the Wliito Horse Riders, No. 226 of the shuffling-feet dance, and No. 

 231 of the Strong Heart society. No. 222 is said to have been com- 

 posed recently. The others are praise songs which have been used 

 in the tribe. In many instances all the words of the song are new. 

 The person whose name appears in the songs is Two '\Miite Buffalo, 

 whom Red Fox adopted in place of his deceased daughter and to 

 whom he gave his daughter's name. Red Fox stated that he had 

 a right to give this name as he had killed two white buffalo. When- 

 ever these songs are sung it is expected that Red Fox will make, in 

 behalf of Two Wliite Buffalo, a gift to the singers or to any project 

 for which donations are being solicited. Red Fox is a man who is 

 highly respected in the tribe, and these songs have been widely 

 sung.
