Exphniiition hij fhf Ku riihns 



In the second stanza the Children respond. They thank the 

 Fathers for liringing the Ilako, and they thank all the powers repre- 

 sented on the Ilako. Their hearts aiv glad, for they are to be as 

 sons. 



I have explained to j-ou that there are certain songs to be sung at 

 certain times and in a fixed order, but there are not enough of these 

 songs to fill all the time of the ceremonj-. 



It may be that the Children who wish to make presents will ask 

 the Fathers to sing for them, and there are several songs that can 

 be sung at such times. 



All songs must be chosen in reference to the time. Songs of the 

 visions can only be sung at night. Songs like the following one of 

 Mother Corn can be sung in the daytime, and in the night after the 

 day when we sing of the earth and have bad the sacred corn cere- 

 mony, but can not be sung in anj- other night. None of these extra 

 songs can interrupt tliose which have a fixed sequence.
