The sixth song also has a subtitle, Wa-k'i°' Wa-tho", Carrying 

 Song. The song is descriptive of the various scenes in which the 

 successful huntei- finds the fallen deer, of his throwing the animal 

 upon his back and carrying it joyfully homeward to the wife and 

 the little ones dependent upon him for food and clothing. The song 

 also closes the little drama of the sister, the brother, and the deer.
