Haida Songs: I.--Cradle-Songs: 5.

This is why you are a boy
This is why you are a boy
NAñkî'lSLas has become a human being.
From the property in his house a flood went towards Rose Spit.
Even from North Island the people are crowded into your house, as when waves meet and are packed together.
That is why you are a boy. 1
