Wopila for honoring the Porcupine Singers. My grandfather Francis Menard was one of the singers, and I often sing with Severt Young Bear Jr. and other's on the Pine Ridge.

Good morning. I remember blackStone from the morongo pow wows in 1990’s. Cool songs from porcupine singers😊❤😊

LOVE IT !! RESPECT FROM THE DINE (navajo) NATION . Brings back memories sitting at the drum back in the 80s w Oyate Simgers ( late Everett Poorthunder) and my Cousins Sun Eagle Singers when Howard Badhand was down south here in NM . Thank You Gentlemen.

AHO, ALL NATIVE RELATIVES ACROSS TURTLE ISLAND & IN FAR DISTANT CONTINENTS. I AM FULL BLOOD DINÉ ALSO FROM THE EASTERN DISTRICT. I ALSO KNEW BIG BROTHER, EVERRT POORTHUNDER. IT WAS HE THAT INTRODUCED ME TO THE DRUM & SINGING BACK IN THE EARLY 90'S. AND MANY BLESSINGS GO THE FAMILY. IT WAS ALSO AROUND THAT TIME THAT WE, THE FAMILY WAS INVITED TO HELP AT THE SUNDANCE AT RED SHIRT TABLE IN SOUTH DAKOTA. MANY BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES FROM THAT TIME. SO I WISH MANY BLESSINGS AND THANKS TO ALL THE LAKOTA NATION AND THE PORCUPINE SINGERS.

Aho we are there human family my relative, we are all related!

So many memories !!! 20 years as a vendor on the east coast and looked forward to the evenings. it was so easy to become one with the heart beat. Many times I have gone back to my brothers and sisters on the on the plains in a trance and did not want to return to now. My great great great grandmother was LAKOTA. Her native name is MOONBEAM. I can go on forever. Wopila ! Tom (MATO) from Rhode Island

Aho niizhonii diist'ąą nii keya deeh, aheehee niitsaagoh.... sounding beautiful coming from ur land , thank u for sharing... Blackstone r legendary and belong n top groups of all time besides the ones mentioned, Porcupine Singers... legends always live on... hutcha

I have only sang a few Porcupine songs in my life, but I am going to start singing more. When I first started singing I used to listen Blackstone back in ‘91.

Awesome brings back a lot memories! Thanks Terry and family! Glad to see your family/Blackstone remembering and honouring others from the past! May the Creator bless all of you and your families....

Terry's sharing on "cutting" and the fast triple beats takes me way back to '78, when I first heard that, when a friend on a drum I was sitting in on that night laid those fast triple beats down on just before the down beats...I thought it was way cool...I recently saw the Young Spirit video of "the most badass powwow song" doing their version of those fast beats on the down beats...it sure sounds good! About the "cutting" in on the leads, that was the usual way we done it on our drum back in the day....sgood to hear Terry sharing those stories of days past.

I'm am honor to the pow wow singing in this video and words of wise and story are wonderful, very inspiring boys Blackstone !!! :)

My favorite drum group of all time.

I listened watched it like 2X. Your drum did a good job. Severt SR was our Leksi. Thinking bout all places they went: Tama, Iowa, Cleveland, Ohio. Chicago. Bless All his Tiwahe( Porcupine) in 4 Directions, from oldest to youngest. Such a Historical Tribute Terry & Family. You showed your greatest respect. Woplia Tanka.

Thank you, that was my prayer for the day from Canada, BC. Listening to you on this fine morning.

thank you for sharing ..wopida...beautiful memories...sigh...ty

Legendary Terry n the Blackstone singers. Nice tribute to the porcupine singers like the straight song . 👍💯🦅

Just now watching this, not that late! Good job! BlackStone Singers…. We had a drum group in the 80s under the watchful eyes of the older Porcupine Singers. Guidance from them payed off in the long run. We went by Black Hills Singers.

Please keep doing this! Singing is Medicine .....take good care of each other. Hope to see you all at Denver March Pow Wow 2022

A straight shot to beauty, I am grateful for your walk and helping me remember my ancestors!

My Great Great Grandfather's name was "Porcupine Standing Sideways"... And nice to see part of his name, which drew my Attention to this video... His son, My Great Grandfather, Jack Fiddler, was part of Manitoba's Dark past, and it's written in a book, written by my Grandfather, Thomas Fiddler called "Killing the Shamen"... It's a good read, and relates to me with what's going on in this Pandemic World we all live in... Anyway, just wanted to write a brief comment about his name... Meeway, Megweech 👍🏼
