Description
"This is sung when the corn begins to emerge and the tips begin to protrude from the ground. The customary practice involves the ceremonial shaking of the tips to encourage growth. This song is sung at that time.
"In Oraibi the women are supposed to sing this to help the growth of the bean plants. Beans are planted around mid May. This first planting is designated as humimongwi. Traditionally the Chief plants his crops first; thereafter, all others can plant."

Description
"There follows a discussion of the relation of planting crops and special songs. There are, according to this informant, no special planting songs. According to the informant's uncle, there are songs containing very special power which were supposed to make plants grow rapidly. The songs are believed to contain powers of witchcraft and so the informant's uncle refused to teach him the songs."
