Scope and content
This song was recorded in the home of Ida Halpern, 3707 West 37th, Vancouver, B.C. Halpern's comment: "200 years old. Mungo Martin ; ’Na̱ḵap̓a̱nka̱m is the only one who knows it now, all the others are dead. Lyrics: 'I have been flying with the thunderbird/I have been swimming with the grizzly bear/He looks like a thunderbird/Is strong, he can fight the War.' Indians were in war long before the white man came." Because this is a returning from war song it has a slow paddling rhythm and sings about war accomplishments. From Halpern's note: "Qos Kimox" which is G̱usgi'mukw - Quatsino Sound Tribe.
