It may happen during the ceremony that a young- man of the vil- 

 lage wlio is not a relative of the Son ma.y desire to lay up for himself 

 an honor wlileh will help him to advance his social position in the 

 tribe. He mounts a liorse, rides to the lodge, and there makes a gift 

 of the animal to the Fathers. On such an occasion this song is sung. 



The words are few, but the meaning of the song has been handed 

 down to the Ku'rahus. It is not intended that everyone should know 

 all that these songs implj'. 



The first stanza means: Whence has he comeV Where does he go, 

 he who rides his horse so fast? Who is the man? 



The second stanza means: He is coming this way on his liorsc He 

 is bringing it to the Fathers; he is in earnest to make them a gift.
