Iñupiat song performed by singers from Point Hope, Alaska, recorded by Red McCloud of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police at Aklavik, Northwest Territories. Recorded off of a played-back phonograph recording originally made in 1947 or 1948 by Red McCloud. Poor sound quality. This program was made as part of a wire recording sent to Floyd Lounsbury by John W. Gillespie, containing recordings made by himself and excerpts of other field recordings he had acquired. Also see the John W. Gillespie correspondence in the Floyd Lounsbury papers.
