The Installation Song
The song used in installing the new Lord of the Confederacy shall be
sung by Adodarhoh and it shall be:
Haii, haii Agwah wi-yoh
A-kon-he-watha
Ska-we-ye-se-go-wah
Yon-gwa-wih
Ya-kon-he-wa-tha Haii, haii It is good indeed
(That) a broom, --
A great wing,
It is given me
For a sweeping instrument.
A-kon-he-watha
Ska-we-ye-se-go-wah
Yon-gwa-wih
Ya-kon-he-wa-tha Haii, haii It is good indeed
(That) a broom, --
A great wing,
It is given me
For a sweeping instrument.
Whenever a person properly entitled desires to learn the Pacification Song he is privileged to do so but he must prepare a feast at which his teachers may sit with him and sing. The feast is provided that no misfortune may befall them for singing the song on an occasion when no chief is installed.
