A SONG OF TCHEUNASSAT SEEVEN
There stands a dead vahahkkee
On top of it there runs back and forth the Seeven
And he has a robe with yellow hand prints on it.
THE LARK'S SONG ABOUT HIS LOST WIFE 1
My poor wife!
In the West she seems to be bound by the song of the Bamboo.
Footnotes
- 240:1
This is a Pima flute-song, a record of which I obtained for my phonograph while in Arizona. It has no direct connection with the legends; but illustrates the Story of Tcheunassat Seeven a little, as it is about a woman, the wife of an Indian named the Lark, who is led away by the seductive singing of another Indian named the Bamboo; the Indians having an idea that women were most easily seduced by music. The Pimas, when they speak English, calling the wild cane bamboo.
