At one point they played a very moving song to honor those who had fought and died in wars but unfortunately all I can remember about it was that it was called Soldier Boy and was just drums and chanting voices. Anyone know anything about this song? Thanks I appreciate it :) |

One part was something like " Aiii-yaaa oh soldier boy...soldier boy " or something to that effect. They played it when they invited members of the audience who had family members who were soldiers to come inside the dancing circle and dance. |

A song and dance to honor veterans and relatives of deceased veterans has been an important feature of every pow-wow I've seen. AIROS (American Indian Radio On Satellite), and Native American Public Telecommunications might be good places to start if you want to explore native music. They have a long list of links to other Indian organizations and resources, including musicians and record companies. |
