This little chant is the children's refrain already mentioned. Children's 

 songs are very rare among the Copper Eskimos. 



Its two phrases are repeated four times with slight variations, but the 

 phrases themselves are only two measures in length, really sections. The larger 

 structure appears to be entirely regular but minor variations in the melody and 

 in actual note values or rhythm disturb the regularity somewhat. See the 

 footnote to the music. The beginning of the tune is on the tonic, down beat, 

 and the end is on the same tone.
