The first two measures of this song comprise the rhythmic unit. These are followed by a triple measure containing the note-values of the rhythmic unit but showing a change of accent. (Compare Nos. 90, 94, 96, 103, 108, 109, 123.) The ninth measure contains a peculiar rhythm which does not vary in the six renditions of the song; the first tone of the triplet is accented, and the note-values are steadily maintained. The song contains all the tones of the octave and is purely melodic in structure. 1 Ogi'tcida (from Sioux aki'cita, warrior) is a word wliicli has come into common use among thie Chip- pewa. The ending dog in the case of a iioun is a vocative, having a different significance than when used with a verb (see No. 84).
