Doctor Song - Wintu
Shamans sang songs while doctoring to communicate with the supernatural. The
shaman sings of sucker, an important shamanic spirit. All lines are repeated
in different sequences.]
Heyanowi heyanowi heyano
Heyanowi from a place in the west sucker spirit.
Flashes like lightning from a place in the west suckerspirit.
Flashes like lightning Heyanowi heyano
Blooms like lightning from a place in the west suckerspirit
Blooms like lightning heyanowi hayano.
