Explanatidu In/ ihe Ku'rahus 



We are told that long ago (nir fathers used to see the mesas; that 

 on their journeys with the Ilako they ijassed by or over these flat- 

 topped mountains. This song has come do\^^n to us from that time. 

 As we have never seen mesas, we do not sing the song on the journey; 

 we sing it in the lodge of the Son, that we may not forget what our 

 fathers saw when they traveled far from where we now dwell.

Explu nation by the Ku'rahus 



The next two songs are in sequence. 



When we have reached the b(jrders of the country where the Chil- 

 dren dwell we sing the first song. We give an exclamation of thank- 

 fulness (Iri!) that we behold the laud where thej^ dwell. Mother Corn 

 had passed here when she was .seeking the Son (second ritual), and 

 now she has led us to this place.
