Hilichurl Ballad Selection, Volume 1

The second song:
Eleka mimi-a-Domu
Mita domu-a-dada
La-la-la
La-la-la
Mimi mosi ye mita

The song is sung by hilichurls as they dance around totem poles.
In my estimation it is some form of tribal hymn. It has an upbeat tone and is usually heard during festivals.
