Not to say there wasn’t a lot of paleface sin in the Americas. There most definitely was.

But if palefaces had been purely bent by culture upon annihilating the tribes rather than trying to save their souls (a quintessentially Christian thing), we scarcely would have any American Indians around today to complain about it.

“Down USA"

She may get her wish if The Beast666 is elected.

As bad as the Beast666 is. She can't be as bad as the current ‘Executive Anus’ (thank you 86 year old Roseburg Oregon gun store owner Carolyn Kellim for clarifying zer0bama’s title)

I'm not sure if the current POSOTUS will cede his office in January 2017. He's a Marxist and will do what Marxists do.

Music would be another story. It is universal among humanity. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_American_music

I suggest you actually listen to the recordings at your link. Technically it's music I suppose. More like a stench in the ear, if you ask me.

Back in the late '90s, I was music director for a professional children's theater group. The creative genius behind the group was a guy who wrote the book and all the original music for the many shows they performed.

The songs were outstanding, and I enjoyed being his arranger.

Anyway, back when Disney came out with "Pocahontas" in 1995, this fellow was very irritated by the fact that the movie script completely distorted the actual history of Pocahontas. So he decided to write his own original musical based on the actual history.

The show was produced and performed for many seasons, including a year or so ago at one of the major area venues.

The thing is, when he started to write the music, he wanted to avoid all the Hollywood cliches about what American Indian music sounded like. So he researched it in order to write authentic sounding American Indian music.

It turned out that it all pretty much sounded like the two sound clips at the link you posted. He ended up using typical broadway song conventions in writing the songs, because there really was no alternative.

Honestly, I think it's very charitable to describe American Indian music as music, although, as I said, I suppose it is technically music. But barely so.

Nobody claimed one culture’s music was beautiful to another culture. A lot of palefaces don’t like roast opossum either. I’m sure that for something to be presentable to a paleface audience as inspiring music it would have to be done in a paleface musical idiom.

I am not a music ignoramus by the way — I am a pianist of over 42 years experience. Some Western musicians have done impressions of American Indian music as well and it isn’t that bad, but of course it has the Western harmonic spice in it.

This motif shows up in a number of American musical contexts, interestingly.

The Caddo Nation has about 5500 citizens. Last year their tribal government was seized and taken into receivership because of financial mismanagement.

Judge places Caddo Nation programs under independent administrator

Yeah, I think the Executive Anus is going to have one hell of an October surprise next year which I am dreading. He is hellbent on destroying this country, sinking it to the bottom on the sea, and if doesn’t achieve that by next election he may very well do something out of desperation. Keep them guns handy, no kidding.

The march was called “Justice or Else”.

Or else what?

They might burn a few buildings,destroy a few cars,and shoot a few other blacks?

Nothing new.

There is clearly and unequivocally a proportion of the population in the US who resent those who are white. I don’t know how we get beyond this. To speak about it openly and honestly is almost impossible because of the emotions involved, and the political correctness that surrounds this issue. It’s very depressing.
