I'm American (not Native) but I love Native American music, dancing, and culture in general. I got very emotional and teary-eyed watching this. It's such a powerful, raw feeling that I think everyone can relate too.
There are no words to describe the feelings that evolve from the heart ❤️…. To me, an appeal and praise to our Creator God, like my native heart sings a language of its own…no words…❤️
I can’t believe I was standing right next to them. I knew they were a big deal m everything I just never listened to their music. I always listened to Lakota music because that’s what I am..these guys are really talented, the girl is my favorite. I would’ve wanted to meet her. Oh well next year
I might add that the “word” songs that are sung are usually in their Native language and have various meanings to the Tribe or individual drum. Like an old girlfriend or a favorite car …
Depends on the group really. Most singers make their own sticks or have someone make them for them. They can choose however they want them to look like unless they want to go with a more professional style for the entire group which can look really cool. When I made mine back on college I used a lot of black tape to help me get better grip on the handle and also so that I could rest my fingers on different parts to help give me hand a slight rest.
@@mitchcieslak9476 Oh we got a tough guy over here. Someone shows interest and that's how you react? Dickhead. If someone asked me what the lyrics of a song in my native language meant, I would be glad to share it. Not tell them to go learn my obscure language and figure it out themselves. That's a totally unrealistic expectation. Besides, I don't think Cree is a particularly easy language to learn, or that there are many good resources/opportunities to do so. Not to mention that it's a huge continuum of regional variants including plains, forest, swampy and other dialects. Still, it's a goal of mine to learn conversational Cree one day. Do you know of any proper resources to learn from? Or are you just going to tell me to figure it out as well? Wise-ass.
Swing and Sway The Native Way! Eternal Heartbeat of the People and the Universe!

Do the color of the drumsticks mean anything other than personal choice?
