The lovers stand for hours before
the windows of their beloved and sing
love songs—passers by do not
notice them_
The Indians never sing their songs
in English. There are over sixty In
dian languages; the one known by Mr.
Loring is the Sioux. They picturize
their nouns. Their language is really
very expressive. Their word for
dio means, ‘The song that goes oi
the winds’. It is unfortunate that the
medium of the sign language is fast
disappearing. The last two types of
songs discussed were the death songs
and the war songs. The death songs
are very impressive. The body of the
dead is raised so that the spirit might
get a good start to the Land of The
Setting Sun. The women then
slowly in a circle around the
who do a solemn ‘spirit’ dance_ Many
Indians in their imagination really
see the soul departing.
Strangely the Indians do not like
to sing their war songs. However,
Mr. Loring did succeed in hearing the
songs sung in the Custer fight.
It is necessary that these songs be
recorded while they are extant, be
cause civiIiz,ation is spoiling the In
dian. White people are using the
wrong tactics. You can’t make
white man of an Indian, but you c
make a good Indian of him.
