This is an old melody sung at a woman's dance given in special honor of some warrior. In such a case two women would provide the gifts and act as hostesses. At the opening of such a dance this song would be sung by the men at the drum, calling for the war- rior in whose honor the dance was given. As soon as the song began the warrior would rise and begin to dance; then the two women would rise, after which the guests would join the dance. When the song was finished the warrior would relate his principal deed of valor; then the women would distribute the gifts they had provided, it being understood that they gave these presents in behalf of the warrior.
