Not to be outdone the children that attended the Ichishkiin language classes asked everyone's favorite M.C., Thomas Morning Owl, to sing a song in Ichishkiin. It sounded wonderful. Thomas was kind enough to share with the Ichishkiin students, a song that the Umatilla Language Program adapted from the "The Ants Go Marching" to share with the teachers and their school friends. Because there are so many parents asking for a copy of the words to the children's songs, they will be provided in this edition of the Spilyay Tymoo. t ( Si . r l tlLto mhiw i m mull .-..- ! - In in .......a Icwa'a (Sung to B-l-N-G-O) Ixt ikala, yaka icwa'a, icwa'a itxliu. l-c-w-a-a, l-c-w-a-a, l-c-w-a-a, Icwa'a llxliu.
