Medicine Songs by David Carson
and Little Wolf Band
"The old songs were good. In the old days you were considered rich or poor
by the number of songs you had. There were songs for just about everything.
You were poor indeed, if you had no song at all. Families kept songs and
the very old songs were prized gifts from the ancestors. These songs were
often used in ritual and ceremony. There were songs to be sung that would
empower bundles. There were secret songs with great powers. There were songs
to heal the sick or injured. There were love medicine songs. There were
dance songs and songs for divination. There were charm songs and songs to
celebrate the spirits. All the animals were celebrated in song. When life
was coming to a close, many warriors sang a death song. These songs are
medicine songs to celebrate the new, for songs are a doorway to a different
system of being." —David Carson
