I'm not sure about other tribes, But I'm Guessing this holds true through most. But most songs (In lakota) don't have a title.

Some of you have asked why these songs were recorded. This was something we had considered strongly too but after many meetings with elders and ceremonial leaders, we softened our stance. Here is why: There is no indigenous tradition of not recording songs. It's a post-colonial idea that became prevalent in the boarding school era. Recording devices didn't even exist in any meaningful way and certainly were not available for most until the middle/latter part of the 20th century. There is no logical reasoning to think that this was a tradition held by our ancestors. The 'don't record' rule came as a result of the Boarding Schools and colonial laws. It was illegal to practice any indigenous faith until the Religious Freedom Act of 1978. It was also risky and those who risked even speaking their language, much less singing a prayer or practicing their faith were routinely abused in terrible ways. So not recording anything became a matter of survival. As we enter into a post-colonial world, we are no longer bound by such colonial rules, and elders who learned their ways via boarding school teachings are freeing themselves - and our culture - from those shackles. Celebrating tribal culture, historical and archeological records show, was absolutely the norm before the invasion and genocide and for some time during it - until reservation life and residential schools changed everything. We believe that our Ancestors would be proud we are rising again. We still believe there are things that are naturally out of bounds. We would never actually seek to record an Inipi or a Sundance, for instance. Also, we live in a modern world and we adapt to it. Many people were forced from their homes during relocation with the aim that they would divide the people from their culture to eventually 'kill the Indian and save the man.' There are so many people in our greater diaspora who no longer have access to ceremony, or many other parts of our culture. Many are learning old songs for ceremony on KZread. David Swallow, for instance, has become a renowned teacher of Lakota prayer songs. kzread.info?search_query=david+swallow+jr

@@ebby253 We do understand the question from the relatives who posted them. We believe they come from a good place and want only the best. We want them to understand that we accept it is an important question and dialogue is good and necessary. This subject is going to be an increasingly prominent topic as technology spreads and as people are more distanced physically. We think we are going to have different opinions from time to time too but we will find a way to continue to keep pushing forward. It's our belief that we have to adapt as people if we are going to keep our culture together. Pre invasion many bands would only meet once every warm season, or even less and these times of coming together, like at the wacipi ceremonies with collective sharing and trading were how our cultures thrived. We think in the days of 2020 we have to utilize the options available to make sure the stories and the teachings continue and the scourge of colonial thought is eradicated from our culture. Either way, we have nothing but love for our relatives that care as deeply as we do, even if we do disagree. Mitakuye Oyasin.

Letting whites at the drum isnt suppose to be letting them in. They let them in because if we shut everyone out how are we as natives to expect whitesnto understand. Traditionally color wouldnt matter ive seen asians and african americans at the drum I dont see it differently with whites .

Indigenous isn't a color. There are many mixed Lakota because many were the result of their grandmothers being sold as young teens to old white men. Their offspring, still our ancestors, still had Lakota blood and Lakota hearts. It wasn't tied to their melanin.
