Customer Reviews

Not recommended - Don't Buy1
Horrible cover photo. The stereotypical "NobleSavage". I bought this CD primarily out of curiosity because it was so cheap. I think I understand why it's such a bargain. The music itself is okay, all traditional songs of various nations (this is not the type of music usually heard at powwows. Those looking for that will be greatly disappointed). I suppose the title is accurate: "Authentic Native Amer. Music" since the songs are definitely "Native Amer." However, my main complaint is the lack of liner notes. The song list is exactly as noted above, no names of groups or individuals or even when the recordings were made. It makes me question if the songs are correctly identified by tribal affiliation. The quality of the CD is poor. Most likely these songs were "reproduced" from old recordings with the intention of making a fast buck. Don't waste your money on this. Use it to buy the many other high quality CD's produced by Native Amer. artists.

The Real Deal4
If anyone has ever wondered what kind of music they might have at a Pow Wow, this is it. This is the authentic, 'hardcore' stuff. You can listen to this drumming and chanting and simply lose yourself in it. It will carry you away. Only if you were at an actual ceremony would it be more authentic. It is beautiful to listen to and wonderful to imagine to. Let your heart soar with the eagles.

Old but authentic3
I used to have an audiotape with many of these songs on it which I got 20 years ago. I think these songs might have been originally recorded on wax cylinders, hence the scratchy quality. The songs are old, maybe from around 1900 to 1930s. These songs are not like the ones you will find at modern powwows today but are a rare collection of the old-time songs from another era. Geared more toward the serious student rather than the casual listener. For powwow music, I would recommend any of the more modern releases.
