Analysis.—This song comprises three rhythmic periods, each with 
its rhythmic unit. The tone material is the major triad and sixth, 
which is less frequent in the Ute songs than in those of the Chippewa 
and Sioux. An ascending fourth occurs five times and a descending 
minor third occurs nine times.. In contrast to the preceding song 
the drumbeat is in unaccented eighth notes.

Fie. 10.—Plots, Group 8 (Double dance) 
In these plots there appears a ‘“‘horizontal type”’ of outline with 
rather wide intervals, the melody seeming to be ‘“‘doubled”’ on itself 
rather than following a decided trend, as, for instance, in the songs 
of the Turkey dance.

Tron Line DANCE 
This is an old dance, in which both men and women participated, 
standing alternately in the dancing circle. In the step of this dance 
one foot was passed either over or behind the other and placed flat 
on the ground. The motion of the dance was sideways, the dancers 
progressing ‘with the sun.” All the dancers sang and some of the 
men carried hand drums, with which they accompanied the singing.
