This brings tears to my eyes and memories. Honoring a drum group with the bone whistle salute is rare, yet i witnessed such an event all the way back in 1989. The music & dancing kept up for nearly 20 minutes, as with this clip. It's true, pow wows just aren't the same as they were in the 80's. So much pride, inclusion and community that is now still there but distant.
Aho!! Brings a tear to my eyes!! Powwows just aren't the same anymore and i miss that feeling that used to be THERE!! Thanks for posting and ignore all negative comments and keep posting..
whistled songs are on drum group's CD's and drum groups are already adding whistled songs on their composed DVD's. Like SinAlbert said there is no pipe involved no ceremony. I added these songs cuz Red Bull family asked me too. And i have lotta respect to Red Bull fam one of oldest drum groups around anyway along with Mandaree, Chiniki Lake,Ndn Nation...etc etc. If you dont like it,then dont watch. i do go by the pipe n smudge ways. And You are not my teacher,enough said. :)
Historic footage. very powerfull and meaningful you never see this anymore. look at all the support and pride in all the dancers just beautiful. I am amazed by this video thank you for posting brings back alot of memories
and why shouldn't this be shown! it's our tradition and they need to be told and seen the way they are really are. not how a white man or historian thinks it was! and besides it does show how much pow wows and everything have changed over the years! there is a lot they changed within them that looks plain ridiculous!!! but thanks again for sharing the video! it really does keep a sense of how pow wow's used to be..what they were really about...celebrating and having fun dancing and singing!
very powerful. this is the kind of gathering i remember when i was "knee high". my hands go up to you for sharing and many blessings for the people in this video. aho to all my relations, hytchka o`ciam ~ WashintonianSkin
thanks for sharing the video! i remember dancing at the pow wow..to red bull and seeing this brings back the spirit of what pow wow's really and truely were about..heart and pride and having fun dancing!! it's true that now days dancers only compete and do it for the money! these are old ways we used to live by...enjoying the whole weekend of singing and dancing and not just during the contests!
Yes, sacred cermonies, but pow-wows are celebrations for the people....this is not a sun-dance whistle....it is used to honor a dancer or drum for the song....Yes the sacred ceremonies CANNOT be video-taped, recorded, or even pictures...so keep with your traditions my fren but celebrate life and that you are Native
These Tiinowit traditional pow wow vids really bring back memories. I wish Red Bull and Stoney park along with all the older drum groups would return back here to White Swan WA.
Hey To all my Native Bothers and Sisters... I'd like to pass on what an old friend told me.No matter what the white peoples tryed to do too crush the Native Spirt,such as the residential schools across North America. You can still find amounst the concerete and pavement THE NATIVE SPRIT GOING STRONG AND IT ALWAYS WILL THANKS TO VIDEOS LIKE THIS!!!!!! NO MATTER WHO YOUR TACHER IS YOU HAVE TO LOVE THE NATIVE WAY!!!!!
I am white but the native american spirit is DEEP with in me. I'm from the UK but this brings me peace and love to you. I love this drumming and always have.. AWAYAHO UTCHA HO

redbull will always be the greatest of all time when we first started singing all we sang was redbull songs when we usta be called black bear that was before we joined up with eyabay it all came down to a flip of a coin to go bye eyabay or black bear and it ended up being eyabay just think it coulda been black bear world class champions 95'97'98
to tape or not to tape..who cares?? Thats why i stopped going to powwows. New NDNs get too fanatical about certain things. This is a competition powwow by the looks of it. Our teachings teach us to share and be kind, not go around tellin other ndns whats what and how its supposed to be. Sadly thats why i gave up dancing. I gave away the regalia i spend many many hours putting together. We all need to take a deep breath anf enjoy this wonderful video. meegwetch
I really miss this Pow Wow Tiinowit was one of those Pow Wow's that everyone had a really good time and left back home feeling great! Maybe one day they'll bring it back and we can all jam like this again...
You know, it's beautiful to see the culture in this way. Too bad some utter fools can't and won't get it. It's your land and your home long before anything went to these jerks. It's one reason I have a problem with "owning" anything, landwise, in this country.. I actually have a deed, to some land (untouched land) in the N.East. Ought to just give it back, for all of the use I get out of it. Anyway, HAPPY NEW YEAR!
You don’t know the Medicine you are providing me with right now! Drummer and Singer doing what they are created to do!!! I MISS hearing my brother and sister sing and dance…Truly loving and drinking in every moment…Thank you for making my Sunday. God Bless you. ✝️🪶❤️🔥⚡️
8 years ago.... And many more years to go..... I know how 2 make bake bannock...😋 Lol..take a good eagle eye look on those tape recorders....old Eh?...just. Like moi..(.me)..lol
yeah there's no eagle bone whistle's at powwow's...some make them from wood or a store bought whistle's i allways knew that the song was good and it made the people feel good inside so this is why they blow them...it's the healing one get's from that cirlce...so blow them whistle's chosen one's HOKA!!!!!
Legolas, what do your elf eyes see?🧐 Yee.. check out them big ole tape recorders..😁 I might be standing there 😋😂 Chee.. dona whistles.. Old skool injun break dancin..! Wooh!
what r u a english teacher searchin you tube videos 4 misspelled words over a year old . you had to have been really seachin through the comments to find that julie
The whistle a contemporary dispute; read Mystic Warriors of the Plains by Thomas E Mails pp 57, In it was the O ma'ha', Okichita, a warrior society member ;original grass, aka scalp dancer of the plains, each supported by family, and honored the drum with bundles or horses, not a pinch of tobacco on the face of the drum or a few dollars; nor is the whistle merely for personal show.
well where i come from, if the family doesnt want you to video tape their whistle they will tell the mc to say so, and im sure everybody will respect that, but if they dont say so than your free to tape
Some people were taught to never record sacred things like this and some people weren't. So what? That doesn't give you a right to tell someone what's wrong with what THEY were TAUGHT, for we all learned differently.

Third whistle is misun Todd Red Bear, may he rest in paradise. I love how he puts his all in to his dancing to this beautiful song.

If you just stare at the video, and listen to the drums, do you feel yourself going into a trance-like state of mind? I sort of do.
Yes, sacred cermonies, but pow-wows are celebrations for the people....this is not a sun-dance whistle....it is used to honor a dancer or drum for the song....Yes the sacred ceremonies CANNOT be video-taped, recorded, or even pictures...so keep with your traditions my fren but celebrate life and that you are Native
Remembering a time when the people danced because they LOVED TO DANCE!! Now they’re not even powwows
"Good drums get dancers out there, good songs get them to dance well. Without drum groups there is no music. No music, no dance, no powwow."
Love it,,there were a lot of very good drum groups in those days. Redbull was one of them.
This is a Pow wow. Not a ceremony. So if your a real native. You have no problem watching this video.
These Tiinowit traditional pow wow vids really bring back memories. I wish Red Bull and Stoney park along with all the older drum groups would return back here to White Swan WA.
Oh yeah. I remember Tiinowit! Awesome POW WOW! Atway Don & Hazel; their beautiful Clan. Bad a** Drums.
Yes!!! Blow that eagle whistle, yes!!! Gett'n down like we do!!!!!!! 🐺✨👑🦅🌿🐢💎🙏🕊️🌱🐺🌏🙂

Some tribes in the U.S.A. that serve in our military. Can feather people. What Canadian Who fought for that Maple leaf. That can feather people?
Some people were taught to never record sacred things like this and some people weren't. So what? That doesn't give you a right to tell someone what's wrong with what THEY were TAUGHT, for we all learned differently.
This gets me right in the feels (feelings) So proud of my Cree tribe.

You should take this video down even though it is nice... It's taught that you're not supposed to record when a whistle is blown...
When and where was this ? Anybody?
