Dawn Boy: Blackfoot And Navajo Songs (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781163191682)

""Dawn Boy: Blackfoot and Navajo Songs"" is a collection of traditional songs from two Native American tribes, the Blackfoot and the Navajo. The book is compiled by Eda Lou Walton, a renowned folklorist and ethnomusicologist who has spent many years studying the music and culture of indigenous peoples. The songs in this collection are presented in their original languages, with English translations provided for non-speakers. The book includes detailed information about the history and cultural significance of each song, as well as notes on the musical style and instrumentation used. The Blackfoot songs in the book reflect the tribe's connection to the natural world, with themes of hunting, fishing, and the changing seasons. The Navajo songs, on the other hand, are more spiritual in nature, with a focus on prayer and ceremony. ""Dawn Boy: Blackfoot and Navajo Songs"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Native American music and culture. It provides a rare glimpse into the traditions and beliefs of two important tribes, and offers a rich and diverse selection of songs that are both beautiful and meaningful.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
