[@cubrick2001]

One can rarely see something as beutiful and heavenly as this chants.... The world dances to this voices and drums.

[@ksubswithoutavideo-tg2hh]

We as Native people need to keep up our traditions or we will lose it.

[@ch3tty]

the white man has already taken our cultures, our traditions, our lives. just another culture destroyed by white man.

[@amosadams7058]

I agree, protect the sacred. In a materialistic world bent on consumerism and capitalism it's important we stand up and refuse to conform to societies standards. The white man has told us we need all these materialistic things. The intangible things, the things that can't be bought or sold -the things of the heart, the soul, and the mind were all our ancestors had and needed.

[@Grundalizer]

Native American's used to enslave and wipe each-other out long before European's came, and even when European's were here.

[@bg2dajake]

" the white man" .... ?

[@alexrodriguez351]

Grundalizer -yeah don't forget those same europeans brought the plague and disease through all native lands throughout the world

[@kushking420]

man i went camping on shrooms one weekend and my friend started playing this stuff from his mp3 and i was getting so into it, ever since then this music makes me feel good inside when i listen to it

[@AmeeMintyFresH]

Nothing can EVER beat this sound. Deep. Powerful. Moving. Gives me goosebumps.

[@mikesgran]

Made the hair stand up on my neck and a brought a tear to my eye, fabulous, thanks for posting

[@tamminightingale2407]

Absolutely beautiful! It really touches my soul! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful culture!!

[@jasonmccollum6786]

This is America at its purist! When the voice of the people was so loud that your ears would ring and your soul would fly. Drum circles are so powerful. Tsa la gi! Respect to my fellow native peoples!

[@chrisreimer5200]

This is Winnipeg Canada

[@ashtonsiemens2592]

Respect coming Saskatchewan

[@heavenwithin81]

Brings tears EVERY TIME never fails. The most incredably powerful sound Ive ever heard I think.

[@RoyAH.]

The high pitched singing is INCREDIBLE!

[@elshablack1579]

It's called northern buddy. It's northern style. Personally I like it better than southern and I like playing it more as well.

[@blitzedpig1651]

It's crying for the goods to help those in need

[@murkotr9166]

this gives me chills. crazy energy

[@_Insaner]

I had the opportunity to witness a drum group live and up close and personal. When they started playing, instant goosebumps all over my body. It was overwhelmingly awesome.

[@ruben305rosado]

One of the coolest things I've ever seen, in terms of human collaboration, focus, dedication, alignment, intention, giving... This sounds like it is a chant unchanged since forever, and these men are honoring us by honoring the tradition. And it makes me think that there once was a time that this chant was played for the first time, ever, and what era that possibly could have been. And at that time, it all came from just one person's idea way back when, and here we are in modern times holding it down. I think this is marvelous.

[@johnnyrockit913]

As someone who has Puerto Rican heritage which is tribal at it's core, seeing stuff like this makes my blood race. It makes me wanna stand on a mountain and pound my chest and let out a war cry. I love seeing the people keeping the old traditions. It makes me sad that I didn't have stronger Native American herritage in my family, otherwise I might've grown up doing stuff like this. Ever since I was a little kid, all I ever wanted was to sit in a drum circle and beat the drum and chant at the top of my lungs. I mean what could be cooler than that?

[@tigercub354]

every hair on my arms stood up no words can express it, tears came to my eyes and i'm not a tearful person you all Rocked the world'''

[@robertwright2549]

Just came home from the Sarnia Pow-wow and heard these brother sing. Wow!!! your the best

[@ksubswithoutavideo-tg2hh]

This is an honor to do this very sacred.

[@MamboSandyDeleon]

[@catriders54806]

The power of that drum!

[@emtffzartman666]

I used to be part of a drum team.. But this one is impressive!!! Way better than we ever were.

[@FelixEmpanadas]

To prepare for healing, native healers may go for a day or more without food, sleep, and even water. They may also spend extended time in solitude, contemplation, and prayer, and subject themselves to extremes of temperature in cold streams or hot sweat lodges. Techniques for inducing altered states of consciousness include intense rhythmic stimulation such as chanting, singing, dancing and drumming; I haven't had food or slept in 2 days, due to my medication for studying, and I feel like this drumming is the most incredible sound I've ever heard

[@oprz5212]

Its beautiful!!!! God Bless!

[@daesanryo]

this amazes me everytime because im cherokee indian and african american so it amazes me i love indians

[@casablancavic]

Nothing beats American Idol or X-Factor...they rule and are absolutely awesome shows with truly talented singers.

[@notafanboy250]

This is very very cool. I had the chance to experience this in person one time and it was wonderful.

[@WinnipegBABE]

Its a song, and a chant. and they're just expressing their way of my life. && yes, there's a particular way the singers bang their drums.

[@KateLynnRaven]

[@trenthamilton8151]

save me some fry bread lol

[@brendaducharme6799]

The best way to learn is by going to a pow wow, offer a person tobacco for your questions. If they don't accept the tobacco ask someone else. Someone will give you answers. You need to respect our people by the tobacco. Then they will truly know that you are sincere and want to learn.

[@halonerd42]

@Strogenforcer im so glad im native cuz when you sing for a dope crew like this you make about $4000 in just 3 days having fun and doing whatever the hell you want... sometimes more depends..
