Synopsis

Product Description

Performed by noted singer Joseph Shields, Jr. (Ihunktowan Dakota/Sicangu Lakota), this collection presents rarely recorded songs that accompany the sacred Pipe ceremonies of the Lakota. Sung in honor of Grandfather Spirit, these songs reflect the spiritual traditions of the Lakota people that center around their introspective ceremonies.

"At long last a cd of Lakota Canunpa songs, one we can understand and learn from. Of course like most recordings of this type, it's not quite melodious, but it serves the purpose. It would have been better had the words been included in both Lakota & English....for those who don't know what they are singing about, but for some reason it seems as though the words are not provided as some sort of deterrent to those people who would just go along and sing these Sacred songs just for the hell of it. As if! Most common people would even bother..... But it has helped me...."
