  • I have never seen more misinformation in one video. There are no such things as "native American drum circles". Drum circles are a "new Ager" entity....they aren't all chants, they aren't just men, they aren't just five people, they aren't all high pitched...My ancestors are rolling over in their graves. The shame is people will listen, believe and share the misinformation.

  • Thank you for a great video introducing Native American Drum cirlces - I just showed this to my seventh grade band class (I'm a music teacher) as part of an introduction to a new a piece we're playing based on several Native American folk songs. It really helped to draw the kids in and get them excited about the piece, thank you!

  • @shanintrevino hi I am a pagan witch. I am not evil and I am native america, Ojibwe to be exact. I celebrate the Earth and all her seasons. Do you even know what a witch is?

    I use traditional medicines to heal, I honor the Earth as Mother and the Moonas Goddess. Sun is God or Creator.

  • Did u know that there are 4 rings of sound in a pow-wow. The 1st ring is the drum,2nd the singers,3rd the women who back up sing, and 4th is the dancers and the crowd. Just thought i let u guys know.

  • I kinda wish the Fucks would stop comparing us natives to witches....the next witch I see...Imma slap your evil ass....

  • im thinking these hippies got yalls number! AaaChina!

  • Thanks so much for sharing with the world. Education is the key to enlightenment and understanding.

  • Sure did enjoy it. Thankyou. Greetings from Australia.

  • That sounds about right. For the northern style anyway. In Anishinaabe country this is how powwows are done.
