#2 - The Power of Songs

Send us a text (www.buzzsprout...)
In this episode, the IRC team discussed the power of song in an Indigenous worldview. The discussion centers on the preservation of Love Songs by Edward S. Curtis and Claude Schaeffer and how these efforts allow us to examine these songs and context. Of interest is the spiritual power of songs in Indigenous worldview and how this they can be situated in a modern context. The question arises whether songs, as one of the most important parts of Indigenous spirituality and lifeway, can have a space in modern academics and research.
How can Indigenous scholars and communities reclaim this knowledge authentically?
