Hmmm…this is interesting
March 8th, 2010
I was going through more of my powwow tape archives this weekend. I came across a recording that is very cloudy, lots of wind and other noise. I will be doing some aural analysis of the recording, but I highly suspect that this is a recording of some Winnebago singers singing a flag song. There is enough of the melody audible to hear that it is vastly similar to the Ioway/Baxoje flag song. Will do more research on this recording to identify specifics of the melody, how it is rendered, and if possbile any of the words included.
Very interesting at this point, but no conclusions may be reached other than the obvious – the song is similar to the Baxoje Flag song because the Ho Chunk (Winnebago) are relatives of the Baxoje.
