Song in Achumawi/Pit River. No English glosses. Some discussion in English. Alternate name "LR: Songs" 8. "Death flute" prophesy song. Sissun Jim was Wintun, sang in Pit River. The segment begins with a song about a pileated woodpecker, LA 49.054, belonging to LA 49.011, rejected as the wrong song for this. It appears that Sissun Jim was the Wintun doctor referenced in that story, who drove the deer away. Discussion of flute-making.
