this is great
Come on, boys, here's how to honor your ancestors of ten thousand years. Start banging on your toy drums then start counting to 4. Then hit your drum on 1, 2, 3 and 4, then repeat forever. If you do it correctly, you will sound just like every other Indian today.
I taught elementary school students drum circle playing. It took all of about 5 minutes to get them to play together and half of that was to show them how to hold on to the drums. My point -- you can't get more simple that this. When one compares what the Egyptian and Mesopotamian civilization came up with thousands of years ago, this stuff is truly embarrassing.

It like volley ball. They serve. If you manage to guess which hand it stops their run. And it's your turn to score points. The longer your opponent sings, the more they are taking😂 once they all start singing, the pressure builds. As a kid i was ungrateful to see what my people have. We have good medicine. It heals people when we all get together to compete. Then others see it and wonder why do what we do. To compete. To win. But bring your people with you. Let's see who is more blessed out of us. It's not easy making money but we compete for it as well. You guys call it sports. For our sport, it's about who sees which the creator the favors the most by the games we play. My grandma always wondered why i played video games a lot but im out there to win too and represent my people.
Lol I was just a grandkid and my grandma seemed like a nice lady but when it came it to this, she represented. She looked like a lord sitting there. Honor and all. Miss her. I had to sit there wait until they was done talking. "Don't interrupt elders when they are speaking"...waiting to ask if I could "go home" but little did I know it was my home. "Hold on, I'm about to win" Then she would. She believed. I'd pass out on a pendleton listening to this all night. Wake up to it too. These games would last forever. But we went to Denny's after! Get the grand slam breakfast like Thomas from Smoke Signals. Where ever she is, I hope she is OK and knows I'm OK too
They went through the whole song and their opponent started wondering about the status of their bones😂 I like when the song gets stronger and that medicine starts kickin in and you start taking everything😂

I sometimes used to play this stick/hand game songs during my classroom instruction before COVID-19, as a way to calm down and make students work. They love it, our people don’t play this game, so none of the students know about the game or heard the songs. We respect the sacredness of the songs and game. We are eastern Navajo.
Loveit
This song bring joy to my ❤️ and you guys sing good
Bad ass song
Powerful Song
