NoteCorrection made by collector on later recording that original identification of the language of the song--referred to as "yatqwan XEnaX (old people's language)"--was likely misidentified as Eyak and is instead likely to be "in some dialect of Athabaskan." Frank Italio also identified as "CAnkukedi (or dakAstina) 'Thunderbird Clan.')"
