Scope and content
This song was recorded in the home of Ida Halpern, 3707 West 37th, Vancouver, B.C. Halpern's comments quoting Martin: "song is recitative. West Coast, Half Nootka, Half Nimpkish. Accompanied by dance. He is coming around, dancing. Florence Hunt." This is not a wolf song, but a sea serpent song. It is likely Mowacheht (Friendly Cove Tribe) rather than Nootka. From Nimpkish 'Na̱mg̱is - Alert Bay Tribe.
