Item
August 29, 1951

Part of Ida Halpern fonds

This song was recorded in the home of Ida Halpern, 3707 West 37th, Vancouver, B.C. Halpern's notes from discussion with Martin: "After the potlatch on the very last night they take off their bands. Everything is over. They stand up and sing and dance the last song - a song to let everybody know the potlatch is over and they can go home. In the old time the potlatch took from 4-6 months. 'Everybody got really fat after this great celebration.' Everything has to be done 4 times over. Now they rush it in 2 -3 weeks. The Chief gets up and sings it. Everybody join in. Mungo Martin ; ’Na̱ḵap̓a̱nka̱m is the only one who knows it completely. Chief Jimmy Knox, Fort Rupert's Chief owns this song, having inherited it through generations. After his death it will belong to Peter Martin, one of Mrs. Martin's grandsons. Recitative and singing. Mrs. Martin joins in later. Everything was done and a blessing by the song in "Suwash" language (old language in Kwakiutl). Blessings - everybody gets the craving to participate. It is recitiative, blessings are spoken out "that is our blessing to you. We had no argument and eveybody has a fine time. The 'little people' speak in the recitative. Even if we do not participate and are not allowed to, we are still enjoying it and being blessed. The little people are not given the same gifts. The songs speak to the wealthy and important people and later to the 'smaller people.'" The owner of the song is James Knox. Gwita̱la "Northerners" First Tribe of Fort Rupert.
