  The 
  words 
  of 
  this 
  song 
  can 
  not 
  be 
  translated. 
  They 
  are 
  said 
  to 
  be 
  

   old 
  — 
  at 
  least, 
  they 
  are 
  unintelligible 
  to 
  the 
  Omaha 
  of 
  to-day. 
  The 
  

   meaning 
  of 
  the 
  song 
  is 
  said 
  to 
  be: 
  "We 
  will 
  again 
  take 
  this 
  path." 
  

   The 
  word 
  weshige, 
  or 
  one 
  like 
  it 
  in 
  sound, 
  occurs. 
  This 
  word 
  means 
  

   "possessions" 
  or 
  ''wealth," 
  referring 
  to 
  the 
  fruits 
  of 
  the 
  successful 
  

   hunter 
  whose 
  magic 
  helped 
  him 
  to 
  reach 
  the 
  animals 
  in 
  the 
  story. 
  

   "The 
  path" 
  therefore 
  may 
  refer 
  to 
  the 
  possessions 
  given 
  through 
  the 
  

   magic 
  imparted 
  by 
  this 
  society.
