What does it mean when a song has in parenthesis that it's whistled? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqGqI1fps-8

*There is controversy in modern powwows on who has the right to blow whistles at a powwow. In olden times it was a honored position in grass dance and warrior societies. Not everyone had this right. Today, times change and the lines of tradition have been blurred.

It is useless to resist.

Record or not record a whistled song? I could care less if someone records a whistled song.
At a vendors stand you can buy a powwow cd with whistled songs on them. |

What mistakes you ask? The mistake list goes on and on. One that applies today in the pow-wow is to blow the whistle more than 4 times during a song. The Whistle man blows over the drum. This requires the singers to sing the song again.The whistle man can blow less than 4 times, but if he forgets and blows 5 times, then he has to pay a heavy fine. For the singers one rule says that if the singers leave the drum alone by itself, the Whistle man charges the drum and blows over it. Then the singers have to pay.At the big pow-wows these and many many other rules are not adhered to. It takes too long to pay the fines, etc.but is used on the home reservation during the winter dances. |
