    [bull. 95 the song. It is an eating song. And these two songs are in another place. They do not go together. For it is too hard to use them in the order in which they occur. So I pick anyone to write. Of course if one took time to sing tjiem one could sing them in the order they come. When one writes them it is hard to think of them. That is the way it is. Now I shall tell about the eating song, which belongs to the Feathered gens: Whenever I feast I feast on them; (Repeat.) Whenever I feast I feast on them; I feast on the manitous; (Repeat.) Whenever I feast I feast on them; Whenever I feast I feast on them; (Repeat.) Whenever I feast I feast on them; I feast on the manitous; Whenever I feast I feast on them; Whenever I feast I feast on them; [Wi a mwa ki ni ne ta mwa wa ki ni na; (Repeat.) Wi a mwa ki ni ne ta mwa ki ni na a; Ma ne to a ki ne ta mwa tva ki ni na; (Repeat.) Wi a mwa ki ni ne ta mwa wa ki ni na a; Wi a mwa ki ni ne ta mwa wa ki ni na; (Repeat.) Wi a mwa ki ni ne ta mwa wa ki ni na a; Ma ne to a ki ne ta mwa wa ki ni na; Wi a mwa ki ni ne ta mwa wa ki ni na; Wi Amwa ki ni ne ta mwa wa ki ni na a.] That is one half; and the other half goes: Whenever I feast I surely feast on them; I surely feast on the chieftains; Whenever I feast I surely feast on them; Whenever I feast I surely feast on them; I surely feast on the chieftains; Whenever I feast I surely feast on them; Whenever I feast I surely feast on them; Whenever I feast I surely feast on them; I surely feast on the chieftains; I surely feast on the chieftains; Whenever I feast I surely feast on them. [Wi a mwa ki ni ne ta mwa la ni ki na; Wi a mwa ki ni ne ta mwa la ni ki na a; Wi a mwa ki ni ne ta mwa la ni ki na a a; O ki ma a ki ne ta mwa la ni ki na a a;
