35 Thinking of that, we shall always 

 live, 



Is it not so? 



Guests: It is so. 



Ca'lako: 



Now, indeed, it has come to pass. 



At the New Year 



AU my fathers '^ 



Prepared precious plume wands. 

 5 When they were ready 



With sacred words, 



They commissioned them, 



When our sun father 



Had gone in to sit down at his 

 ancient place, 

 10 After a blessed night 



They came to day. 



Next day 



When our sun father 



15 Coming out standing to his ancient 



place, 

 Passed us on our roads, 

 Then our fathers 

 Four times drew toward them 

 The plume wands commissioned 



with their prayers. 

 20 The one who is our father, 

 Kiiwulia Pautiwa, 

 With their plume wands. 

 Four times they held fast. 

 Saying, "Let it be now." 

 25 Carrying his fathers' plume 



wands. 

 He made his road come forth. 

 Over to the south 

 He made his road go. 

 30 Thinking, "Let it be here," 



Perpetuating what has been since 



the first beginning. 

 Once more he assumed human 



form. 

 Carrying his father's plume wand.s 

 35 He made his road come fortli. 

 Into Itiwana 

 He made his road enter. 

 Four times he made his road gi) 



round, 

 Then into Itiwana
