	Indian music includes drums, rattlers, horns, and more.
		Generally, music in this culture was not solely utilized for entertainment, but rather for the summoning of spirits and for speaking to the dead.
		Music was also used for storytelling, praying, and for announcing warfare.
		Different tribes used different methods of communication music, including throat singing, which was a way to perform vocals through tightening and loosening the muscles in the throat, producing a wailing sound.

	President's Report 2006 \| Research
		While he was delighted the music was kept, “it drove home how short the memory is for what an important cultural legacy might be and how important it is to secure it.” Securing this piece of Inuit history and culture for younger generations may prove to be a challenge.
		This is partly due to the effects of “southernization.” But there is also a sense among younger Inuit that this is music that was imposed from the outside: that it came from Europeans and, even though the Inuit became very adept at it, the Moravian music superseded their own musical traditions.
		Inuit musicians were effectively rewriting the music, adapting it to their particular performing abilities and to their own conception of what is beautiful.

	FOOTPRINTS IN NEW SNOW: POSTMODERNISM OR CULTURAL APPROPRIATION?
		Musical copyright, as presently defined, is in the songwriter’s, or the tunesmith’s, but not in the composer’s best interest, for it inhibits serious contemporary composition more than it protects it.
		In western music and thought, however, where the concepts of originality and progress are regarded as supreme values, the insular attitude of purism is essentially at odds with the forces which have set western music into motion in the first place.
		Exploitation of African music by the western commercial music industry in the early 1980s paradoxically led to increased awareness of Africa and its social, political and economic problems, and this in turn caused a sentimental heat wave amplified by the media and the entertainment industry.

	Music: Newfoundland and Labrador Heritage
		The Inuit and Innu of Labrador continued their musical traditions into the historical period, including, for example, drumming and Inuit "mouth-music." The Moravian Missionaries in Labrador, however, worked to discourage Inuit music as well as other aspects of their non-Christian culture.
		Music was reinterpreted and transmitted because it seemed relevant to the lives of new generations.
		Country music had evolved in the southern United States out of the same Irish and English musical traditions that had persisted in Newfoundland and Labrador, so it is not surprising that country music became very popular here during the 20th century.

	Inuit Music
		Of all forms of traditional Inuit music, none was more popular than drum dancing, which played a part in almost every gathering, whether it be a celebration of birth, a marriage, the changing of the seasons, a successful hunt, a first kill, a greeting for visitors, or to honour someone who had died.
		European music first came to the Inuit from whalers and traders of the Hudson’s Bay Co. in the form of songs and instruments, especially the mouth organ, button accordion, fiddle, and Jew's harp.
		Inuit musicians, especially pioneers like Charlie Panigoniak, Simon Sigjariaq, Mary Atuat Thompson, Peter and Susan Aningmiuq, William Tagoona, and Itulu Itidlui are very popular with the general public.

	II Journal: Concepts of Time and Space in Inuit Art
		Jackson explained that the Inuit conceived of, and thus measured, distance not in miles, but in "sleeps." In other words, one would measure distance by calculating how many stops for rest were necessary to get from one destination to another.
		By comparison, early Inuit maps seem to be drawn with simpler lines, perhaps recalling their maps drawn in the air, with exaggerated features that relate to the importance of a particular place to the mapmaker.
		The first Inuit drawings bear a striking resemblance to maps; Jackson suggested that this similarity was most likely due to the fact that the first Inuit drawings on paper were indeed those 19th-century maps.

	U B U W E B :: Canada Inuit Games and Songs
		Banned by Christian priests for almost a hundred years despite its apparently secular nature, it is most commonly practiced by women – generally by two women facing off against each other in a form of friendly competition.
		Inuit throat-singing is done in the following way: two women face each other; they may be standing or crouching down; one is leading, while the other responds; the leader produces a short rhythmic motif that she repeats with a short silent gap in-between, while the other is rhythmically filling in the gaps.
		The full CD of Inuit Games and Songs is from the UNESCO series of Musics and Musicians of the World (D8032), now apparently out-of-print.

		Unfortunately, there is no written record of when the Inuit first developed their form of throat singing which differs from the type found in Mongolia and other parts of the world that has some form of throat singing.

		Consequently, Inuit music and dance with their religious associations were shunned as well. The church instead permitted western-derived “Eskimo” dancing and it eventually became the “traditional” music of the Inuit.
		In addition, church music began to be absorbed into the cultural fabric of Inuit life and today still serves as one of the most pervasive of musical forms in the area. Anthropological researchers have also played a role in affecting the very cultural environment that they are studying.
		However, because Inuit music education doesn’t have much of an impact in the teaching curriculum in that area as it could have, the state of traditional music will continue to be delicate. The role of technology in traditional and Western-introduced forms of Inuit music has been both constructive and destructive.
