In harmonic form it is imiisnally regular. Seven major and seven minor thirds occur and are divided almost equally between ascending and descending progressions. The melody follows the tones of the tonic and dominant chords and contains all the tones of the octave except the fourth. The man who recorded the following song was commonly known as Butterfly (pi. 15, c), a name which was due to a misinterpretation of his Hidatsa name. In the Hidatsa he was called Apaii'giis, mean- ing " white clay nose," but the w^ord for " butterfly " is so nearly like this word that white people gave him the name, by which he was known throughout his life. Butterfly died January 27, 1918. His other songs are Nos. 88 and 106. Butterfly said that the following song was his great-grandfather^s war song and was of the sort sung before the departure of a war Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Smithsonian Institution.
