Buffalo Society Song
Sung by John Eagle Shield, Jr., Kendall Little Owl, Courtney Yellowfat and Spencer Little Owl
Song No. 103
Densmore recording sung by Okhúte (Shooter)
“We see all these buffalo songs in here,” says Kevin Locke. “There's a lot of them. This is such a wonderful thing that you're doing to have these guys sing these songs, bring them back into the repertoire. And that's the only way to do it. These younger singers, they're very influential. They're very influential, and they do really positive things.”
Shooter, one of her most spirited singers, chose to play a frying pan instead of a drum. Sadly there is no photograph of Shooter.
From Teton Sioux Music by Frances Densmore:
“Societies based on dreams, known as Dream Societies, were composed of men who, in their fasting visions, had seen the same animal.”
