CONTENT DESCRIPTION
Abstract"Jim McKinley and Martha Jackson identified this as a Tlingit song, although Bill Joe called it Eyak. In 1960 Mentasta and Chistochina people again identified it as Eyak. The words mean 'good time,' and the singers make motions as if paddling a canoe. (de L comments on the tape 'beautiful song.'). Jim and Martha said that this version was wrong, and recorded correct version as [APSdigrec_1329]."
