HOKA:
It wasn't always this way.
By listening to old recordings (cylinder and reel-to-reel) of both northern and southern singers - many nothern singers did not sing as high as they do today. Whereas many southern singers also had a different style and many actually sang higher than they do today. So both were more closer in vocal range in days of the past.
Many northern ceremonies are sung in a lower vocal range, even today.
Go figure?
But then again, we are heading to a point where southern powwow singers are beginning to "sky" their voices, while northern powwow singers are beginning to sing southern songs.
Go figure?
