Scope and content
This song was recorded in the home of Ida Halpern, 3707 West 37th, Vancouver, B.C. Halpern's comments : "Mungo Martin ; ’Na̱ḵap̓a̱nka̱m wanted this recorded. Hamai, first in the set. Song belongs to Cho Sam Taas (Alex Nelson) . He was a Hamatsa and this was his song. Over six years old. He is dead now. He comes in and starts dancing at night time. He does this for four nights and every night he sings the same song. Every Hamatsa has four songs." See transcript, good quality. Cho Sam Taas is Halpern's rendition of X̱usa̱mda̱'as Alex Nelson. From Quinquam (Halpern's rendition of Kingcome) Dzawada̱'enux̱w - Kingcome Inlet Tribe.
