Has anybody heard of specific songs made for treaties? I have heard the Pawnee have one. I need to do some checking.

Anybody else heard of this?

Hmmmm..... goot question. It seems like I've heard of a Lakota treaty song - maybe for the 1868 Ft Laramie treaty? You'd be able to find out info on that easier than I could....


The closest thing down south that I can think of where I've actually heard the song (rather than just a 2nd hand rumor that such-and-such song that rarely gets sung talks about this or that treaty) is the Comanche (? not to dis the Kiowas if yall got a claim to this song...) Adobe Walls song. Not really a treaty song, but kinda in the same vein.....

The Adobe Walls song commemorates the Battle of Adobe Walls, that took place in the panhandle of Texas. It has a real antiquated sound to it.

Thanks for the reply.


Anyone else.

WhoMe, This is an interesting question. I've had a similar wonder of my own, although I've wondered if there have been songs written for US President's? Are any of them (if they exist) sung much anymore?

WhoMe

Hobbs,


I was thinkin' of composing a song when Bush leaves office.

It would go sumthin' like this....





Na Naa Na Nah, Na NAA NA NAH,

Hey Heeyy,


GOO-OOD BYE!

So would that be considered a new SNAKE dance song?

So...if I'm hearing you correctly...these Treaty Songs are different than Vet Songs?...Or quite possibly sang for a Vet Dance?

Are there any songs out there about 9/11 or Osama?

I think the only thing someone would honestly compose a song about Bush would be a `9.

WhoMe...we'll put you in charge of that...I'll get the cardboard box full of full aluminum cans for you next time I see you. This way we can put it into motion.

lol...
