Analysis—A peculiarity of this song is the rest during which, in 
the four renditions of the song, the voice was silent while the scraping 
of the rattle continued in exact time. Two rhythmic units occur, 
and count-divisions similar to those of the units appear onena 
the melody. About half the progressions are whole and half tones, 
which is unusual. The melody contains all the tones of the octave 
except the sixth and seventh. The descending intervals of a fourth 
were sung glissando in this as in numerous other songs of the Bear 
dance. This glissando was said to ‘imitate the sound made by a 
bear.” Other songs containing rests are Nos. 11, 19, 27, 41, 46, 48, 
68, 77, 94, 95, 96, and 97.
