From the Paper:
"Traditional Sioux of the last century " or the centuries before " would have found the entire idea of putting on their best clothes and going to a concert hall to listen " as relatively passive observers " to a musical performance extremely odd. For them, as for other native peoples of the Americas (and arguably other native peoples throughout the world before the onset of industrialization) music was something that was integrated into the fabric of ritual and everyday life. It was not something apart. Music and dancing were nearly always integrated into either ceremonial or celebrative activities of personal and communal life (Hassrick, 1964, p. 140). Such a degree of integration is hard for citizens of the almost-21st century to imagine."More papers on Sioux Culture & Music:
