    Within my tribal culture, the chanting type is directly linked to the type of ceremony. Most of our native language and dialects have been lost. Therefore, the syllabic emissions often follow a pattern of conveying emotion. A playful tone with sharp/short syllables are present in Sun Dances and Harvest celebrations, for example. A deeper toned, more somber sound comes with traditional Burial Marches. The only entire linguistic record related to ceremony preserved by our People is that of Joining or marriage. It is generally believed that this was saved through the secret ceremonies during the Reservation Eras. Some other tribes or People do have parts of their native language intact and celebrate their heritage through its use.
