Sounds from Standing Rock

I recorded this one evening in the Rosebud Community Hall, shortly after the blizzard. This was where we ate and gathered at Rosebud. Donald Little Thunder was singing Sun Dance songs with his wife and Mike Goodshield and some others. They sat in a circle around the fire, and four of them beat on the same drum. Sorry about the rustling on the recording, but you can still feel the energy with which everyone sings and drums these sacred songs. At the end of the recording, I stepped outside and talked to some children sitting on the roof. 

These prayer songs take me straight back to Standing Rock. Quite often I could hear them being sung in the distance, especially in the evenings.
