Canadian Arctic Expedition, 1913-18 



Drop the little finger loop of the left hand, and remove with it through 

 the right thumb loop the right index loop from the distal side. 



You have the long-necked "swan." 



The Mackenzie chant is: 



cumun mdliyujaluija Whither are you following me? 



dqdimun mdliywyaluya To the Itqilik (river) you follow me. 



iquvKurja qimakpuya Being afraid I am going to fly away. 



quq quq quq quq quq quq (the bird's note) . 



At quq drop the little finger loops. You have "the empty lake," according 

 to the Mackenzie natives, from which the bird flew (the circle in the middle of the 

 transverse strings.) 



CXL. akuluyyuk 



This figure is merely a variation of the preceding which seems to be con- 

 fined to the Copper Eskimos. It is called akuluyyuk, which is said to be a 

 man's name. I fancy there is some story connected with it, but was unable to 

 discover what it was. 



The movements are exactly the same as in "the swan" save that, in the 

 first movement where "the swan" branches off from "the man hanging," the 

 movements with the right hand are made with the left hand on the left side (as 

 in "the man hanging"). The final movements in both "the swan" and in 

 akuluyyuk are the same. You obtain this figure.
