TRANSCRIPT

Blackfoot Honour Song

This song pf praise and honouring of an individual.

Blood Indian Ceremonial Songs of the 1940s

Folklorist Ken Peacock worked on a project in the 1940s for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. He hired Emil Wings on a 10 month research project to collect Blackfoot ceremonial songs. Wings wasn't paid for his work, so the translation and research was never passed on.

The discs and rights to publish were transferred to the Fort Whoop-Up Interpretive Society in 2006.
