According to this publication, "with other Navajo prayers in my collection the act of supplication is preceded by the offering of a sacrifice, and in the prayer the god is reminded of the votive offering and told what blessings are expected in return. With the prayer under consideration, no reference is made to a previous sacrifice and, as far as I could learn, none precedes it, although a song in praise of the war god is sometimes sung as a prelude
