He'dewachi Dance Song: 
Among the oldest recordings of Native American Singing.
Created / Published

The dance was highly dramatic especially that part wherein the past experiences of the warriors was depicted. The scene was full of action and color, the whole tribe took part in it; every one was in gala dress, there was hardly an Omaha too old or too young not th have upon him some token of this festivity.
