In this episode, the Tribal Research Specialist (TRS) team debrief on the previous episodes discussion on the ever-expanding phenomenon of land acknowledgements. The episode starts with an  war dance song  recorded on July 9th, 1950 in Arlee, MT and being taught to a group by Joseph Weaselhead, a Blackfeet, who was living on the Flathead Reservation. While singing with the group he wanted to sing a certain Blackfeet song. This is an early example of the ability that singers posses to learn new song quickly. It also brings in the discussion of how this remains true for powwow singers today. There are complications and difficulties that are discussed in the comical and often unseen world of powwow singing.

The discussion continues with an overview of the podcast statistics including where our listeners are tuning in from. Further, the TRS team begin tackling some of the main talking points brought up in the previous episode.

The second half starts with another song recorded recorded on July 9th, 1950 at  Arlee, MT. The Blackfeet war dance song is from Joseph Weaselhead and accompanied by Louie Nine Pipe (Salish), Mary Beaverhead (Salish), Paul Finley, (Salish) Philip Rondine (Blackfeet), Frank Big Crane (Salish), Jerome Hewankorn (Kootenai).

In the the last half, the discussion shifts to an in-depth discussion and debrief on the main tenets brought up in the previous episode.

Join the discussion and  let us know your thoughts.
