Description: "[Song] has Tsimshian words, and was perhaps one obtained about 1900 from Tsimshian sea-otter hunters at Yakutat, because they were sorry they nearly started a fight with the Yakutat Tlingit over a disputed sea-otter. It is used when the teqwedi guests at a potlatch enter and leave the house to which they have been invited."; Recording concludes with identification of the song by Frederica de Laguna.
