to the west we pause, and start agaiu to make tlie secoud circuit, 

 always going by the north, the east, the south, to the west. Ou this 

 second circuit we sing this song, which must always follow the one we 

 liave just sung. Both songs are about Tira'wa atius, the father of all. 

 These two songs belong to the first two of the first four circuits of 

 the lodge, which are made in the presence of all the Children. We 

 shall sing the.se same songs twice again ; the first time, after the sacred 

 feast of corn and, the second tune, when we arc l)eginning the last 

 four circuits of the lodge on the fourf li and last night of the ceremony.
