i am from Fort Berthold, and i became a so called expert by traveling to many different powwows listening to the cds that both myself and my family bought and by participating not only in singing but by being around my family who take part in not only singing but powwows throughout all of native america. and of course i'm mixed blood there are very few of us that arn't mixed with some thing else, like i said and will keep saying you hater we are all one people.
Fabulous!!! Great singing. I am glad to hear Northern Cree do it right by giving this a proper sound for this Double Beat (Crow Hop) just as Blackstone did! It seems so rare anymore....Aho/Pidamaya!
It sounds like a slow Bhodran, but then everything does.. The Bhodran is Middle-astern or Russian anyway so who knows where drumming went in the early human history.. The voices are like the ululations used in the former Persian and Arabic areas but still has similarities to West-African/North-African vocal methods..
i concur with bfwsabian, there are plenty enough songs that share that same flavor, being a big aficionado of many types of music and a Native American who makes drums i kinda know about songs (in general). others shouldn't criticize you for knowing something they don't and they most certainly shouldn't say things like that. we are all one people.
hey, you are the second american indian channel i tried to go to that said "sorry, internal error" it is not my computer because i went to a cake decorator's channel and it came up with no problem.
@YossarianTheMeerkat im crow and im pretty sure theyve prolly fought with us but nothing big, the crow and cree were tradional allies. crow is not our original name, its apsaalooke. meaning children of the large beak bird. i think crow hop comes from the sioux or one of them down there. but no. i have never heard anything about the cree beating up on the crow either.
Hey, Who's 1134ish Thinks He's Is? I'm From Ft. Berthold Myself. I'm A Singer N I Understand What Coldstone01 Is Talkin About. So, Don't Be Tryin To Think You Are All That. My Family Comes From A Singin Background At The Drum.
@YossarianTheMeerkat or was that the Blood? Anyways the Cree and the metis who were mostly Cree and Ojibway anyway were nortorious masters of Plains warfare they threatened even the supremacy of the Blackfoot. Took a wicked anthropology course this year. Never forget it. i'd love to do some work with the Cree but it's hard these days for a white dude like myself :( understandably i guess
