- In addition to singing the Honor Chant: A Gaanax.adi Chant and Wooch.een Song, the students will stand and listen to, but NOT PERFORM, the Yaakw Sheeyí Canoe Song, which is a migration song owned by the Daḵl'aweidí clan. Migration song are considered a clanʼs at.oow, which is translated as "an owned or purchased object" including land, names, stories, songs and crests. These songs validate the story of the Daḵl'aweidí migration after the flood. By listening to the Yaakw Sheeyí Canoe Song, teachers and students learn that migration songs are a clanʼs precious at.oow and are heard to bear witness an important part of a clanʼs history. It can be heard as witness to those stories, but not performed by those outside of the clan.
