  • Date: probably 1905
  • Contributors: Julius Marshall (consultant); Pliny Earle Goddard (researcher)
  • Language: Hupa
  • Description: Museum catalog note: "Researchers please note: dates above are from 14-catalogue, and these three are early associated there with items listed above (beginning with 24-1732) rather than with those below in series #33. Indeed, 14-1296 (24-1732) through 14-1355 (24-1818) are also identified in the 14-catalogue as A1 through A61." Museum catalog note: "Genre can not be confirmed definitely, for the example here is performed without the frame-drum or characteristic five-beat rhythm of modern gambling songs. However, significant stylistic change may have occured in the interim since this early example was recorded." Distributed on California Indian Music Project, Northwest region, tape 6, side B. Original cylinder 14-1353. 90 speed.
