Awesome video going straight to the favorites.

If you had the video of them performing the song that would be great too.

I'd love to see that.

Unfortunately, I don't have a video of the singers. I am entertaining the notion of visiting the White Shield Pow-Wow this summer (where the Arikara hold an annual celebration), and while there I could conduct an interview with the Old Scouts Society or try a live webcast while there.

That was interesting, are there any other tribes that did songs also?

[FortAbrahamLincoln]

I once heard that the Pawnee had a song for Custer and also the Crow. I haven't investigated to see if either tribes do have songs for Custer. When I find out I'll post those to (after I acquire permission to do so first!).

Is it possible to interpete the words to english? although im sure the song would lose its spiritual sound,,thank you

Mr. Howling Wolf wanted to visit Fort Lincoln soon, when he does I'll ask him for both a literal and free translation of the song. When I get his translation I'll post it here using the annotation application.
