Native American Traditional Cree Music

Native American music plays a vital role in history and education, with ceremonies and stories orally passing on ancestral customs to new generations. Native American ceremonial music is traditionally said to originate from deities or spirits, or from particularly respected individuals. Rituals are shaped by every aspect of song, dance and costuming, and each aspect informs about the makers, wearers and symbols important to the nation, tribe, village, clan, family, or individual. Native Americans perform stories through song, music and dance, and the historical facts thus propagated are an integral part of Native American beliefs. Epic legends and stories about culture heroes are a part of tribal music traditions, and these tales are often an iconic part of local culture.
Traditional Music Channel is for everyone who has a passion for music.
Music is an expression of human creativity. UNESCO reports that among all the performing arts, music is the most universal and is found in every society, most often as an integral part of other performing art forms and other domains of intangible cultural heritage.
Traditional forms of music are considered carriers of cultural heritage because they represent expressions and traditions transferred through generations of a community.
With recordings from more than hundred nations our collection of traditional music offers a staggering diversity of our humanity.

My parents would never teach me about our culture because they think it’s about Satan and evil spirits... but I think the residential schools taught them that... and my parents are christians but I will never forget where I come from... it’s the first time I’m listening to this and I felt... so restored and happy.. I was overwhelmed with... I don’t know it’s kind of hard to put into words... my heart is beating with the music.. I feel connected to my ancestors some how.. it sounds weird, my spirit felt like it detached from flesh and danced behind me... argh... but I’m probably overreacting.. great music

Music of our ancestors lives inside us...sometimes if we hear it for the first time we connect with it...i was in that situation....then i talked to a grandparent and he told me about the link...i dont know where this connectivity is harbored but it stays there...you may not know there s this being inside...if a relative of this being knocks from outside the inside being answers the door knock and opens the door to let in all...a bunch of guests your relatives...the language, the music, the colours, the dress, the food, the feelings. It s all true and baffling...even twins separated at birth and carried off on different continents liked the same colours and musical groups>>>genetics speak!!

Great to see the Native culture shared in music and stories. I worked the past few years with Yavapai, Hopi, and Navajo. As a native Arizonan, I grew up with Navajo friends, rode our horses... later became friends with many other tribes. So good to gather at pow wow's, around a firepit ... With true heart and compassion, wouldn't it be great if the sharing with all is done in that light? None of us (this generation) was involved in fighting (Apache's against Navajo - taking of lands) so wouldn't it be wonderful to reach out to each other, sharing and forgiving. Yes, work at restoring treaties, give back and share in a healing spirit. Native petroglyph's have the story of the worldwide creation/flood. The creator Yahweh in Hebrew/God We have that in common. It is a gift of life never should be or have been, forced. wîtaskîw, healing and peace to all.

I am so-called African American. I am not aware of any Native American ancestry, yet every since I was a child, the music (especially the pow-wow music), the culture, the history, the songs and the plight moved me as if I was connected. Such is often reflected in the themes of my pottery art. I play pow-wow music as I travel in my truck and on my motorcycle; - Yes I get strange looks from many people but I don't care. I feel these songs in the atoms of the cells in my body. In them, I feel free. By my birthmarks, I have the image of a turtle; - The patient one and contemplating spirit. I have also the image of a hawk perched on a mountain; - The solitary sentry of his environment, fast, fierce and majestic in purpose and confidence. Stand on my spirit brothers and sisters!

don't need to go and get your head full of hatred you want to know I will tell you what your spirit already knows.

There is an old telling that when we were gonna being anew everyone would be gathered together once again. So if you were here then you are here now each and everyone but in order to pass to the next we must learn to love one another.

It is amazing how little Americans know about this music. Instead we focus on the music of white people (European culture) and black people (various, from Jazz to Soul to Hip Hop).

[@institutakustikisputnika]

I'm just going to come out and say this. This is real music not the BS like Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber. I may, not be an Indigenous American but to me this and music like it from all cultures around the world speak of something so true and deep that runs through the earth. All of our spirits run deep into this earth some more than others of course. However they run deep and music like this takes that deep running spirit and put out into the world, the universe. May this most vital music of the Cree continue for centuries to come.

@josephcrsn After Culloden there came The Highland Clearances ( which STILL continue but on a much smaller scale ) & a potato famine. And the clan system started breaking down. The Scots Diaspora didn't happen for no reason. People either risked starvation or emigrated to Canada, America, Australia or New Zealand looking for a better life. Being mainly mountains Scotland has always been a hard place to eke a living & joining the army was a last choice, though with the existence of Scottish regiments it was to a degree a continuation of @ least the spirit that holds us Scots together. Though even now the Sassenachs still try to "civilise" us by constantly trying to undermine our culture, music & history. Always trying to devalue us @ every opportunity ( yet being only 0.5% of the world's population we have won 11% of the Nobel prizes - & not the easy ones either! ) So with all this constant spite from the English, coming on a YT channel with pipe bands on I still find it amazing that, unlike the English, the rest of the world loves us, our culture & our music ! :)

So sorry to hear that 💔 but thinking on a positive note, their history is still very much popular after all these years, it might be a sign that they are still alive in the hearts and spirits of those who are willing to accept them!

They weren't allowed either. still trying to kill em

[@jackodonail1980]

@@Saboramii The Scottish are actually descendants of the Irish who migrated after the fall of Rome. The destruction of Scottish culture has nothing to do with Rome or its legacy, and everything to do with English expansionism during the Early Modern Period.

[@elektronischemusik1903]

I am from germany, that rythm resonates great with me. I guess one can reach a state of trance with ease with that music.

[@alexgabriel5423]

It sounds as a natural extension of nature...it belongs with the wind and the eagles crying around and with the wolf cubs and with the river going over rocks...it s the song of life now and life before and life to come....it s a song that mankind in cities should stop all of a sudden and listen to...they will.stoop to the ground and they will hear all the living beings and with them the hum.of the planet in her travails to keep life going for all there is....

As a child, we grew up in a white fostering system..so most of our tradition, got taken away from us, and sadly alot of Other things did too. But, i still am alive, to tell it. But, i feel this explains Peace and Harmony with All that I and all others go through today. Be Safe All!!!
