Mips Assembly arrays

[Llamanade]

I need to be able to read through an array in mips assembly. the array looks like so.

array:	   .word [Some Hex value]
	     .word [Some Hex value]
             .word [Some Hex value]
             .word [Some Hex value]
             .word [Some Hex value]
             .word [Some Hex value]
             .word [Some Hex value]

i need to load these values into a register so I can then do arithmetic with them. I need to take the sum of all values. I think I can handle the rest, its just I cant find any info on iterating through the array to get al the values.

You have to add multiples of 8 to the address of the beginning of the array to traverse to the next elements.
