Wopila for honoring the Porcupine Singers. My grandfather Francis Menard was one of the singers, and I often sing with Severt Young Bear Jr. and other's on the Pine Ridge.

OUTSTANDING! Brought back great memories. Thank you for sharing. I loved the history, the stories, and your singing! God bless you!

Good morning. I remember blackStone from the morongo pow wows in 1990’s. Cool songs from porcupine singers😊❤😊

LOVE IT !! RESPECT FROM THE DINE (navajo) NATION . Brings back memories sitting at the drum back in the 80s w Oyate Simgers ( late Everett Poorthunder) and my Cousins Sun Eagle Singers when Howard Badhand was down south here in NM . Thank You Gentlemen.

Terry's sharing on "cutting" and the fast triple beats takes me way back to '78, when I first heard that, when a friend on a drum I was sitting in on that night laid those fast triple beats down on just before the down beats...I thought it was way cool...I recently saw the Young Spirit video of "the most badass powwow song" doing their version of those fast beats on the down beats...it sure sounds good! About the "cutting" in on the leads, that was the usual way we done it on our drum back in the day....sgood to hear Terry sharing those stories of days past.

On behalf of my son's an wife klan band of pomo appreciate the medicine an keeping the tradition alive me I am americanize Mexican have no idea my family history but once I started my own family I want them to be proud of both nations we are all apart of the human race the 5finger beings

I have only sang a few Porcupine songs in my life, but I am going to start singing more. When I first started singing I used to listen Blackstone back in ‘91.

Aho niizhonii diist'ąą nii keya deeh, aheehee niitsaagoh.... sounding beautiful coming from ur land , thank u for sharing... Blackstone r legendary and belong n top groups of all time besides the ones mentioned, Porcupine Singers... legends always live on... hutcha

So many memories !!! 20 years as a vendor on the east coast and looked forward to the evenings. it was so easy to become one with the heart beat. Many times I have gone back to my brothers and sisters on the on the plains in a trance and did not want to return to now. My great great great grandmother was LAKOTA. Her native name is MOONBEAM. I can go on forever. Wopila ! Tom (MATO) from Rhode Island

I listened watched it like 2X. Your drum did a good job. Severt SR was our Leksi. Thinking bout all places they went: Tama, Iowa, Cleveland, Ohio. Chicago. Bless All his Tiwahe( Porcupine) in 4 Directions, from oldest to youngest. Such a Historical Tribute Terry & Family. You showed your greatest respect. Woplia Tanka.

Thank you, that was my prayer for the day from Canada, BC. Listening to you on this fine morning.

thank you for sharing ..wopida...beautiful memories...sigh...ty

Legendary Terry n the Blackstone singers. Nice tribute to the porcupine singers like the straight song . 👍💯🦅

Just now watching this, not that late! Good job! BlackStone Singers…. We had a drum group in the 80s under the watchful eyes of the older Porcupine Singers. Guidance from them payed off in the long run. We went by Black Hills Singers.

Please keep doing this! Singing is Medicine .....take good care of each other. Hope to see you all at Denver March Pow Wow 2022

Haven't heard that drum song in long time

A straight shot to beauty, I am grateful for your walk and helping me remember my ancestors!

good old songs with good words.. thank you

My Great Great Grandfather's name was "Porcupine Standing Sideways"... And nice to see part of his name, which drew my Attention to this video... His son, My Great Grandfather, Jack Fiddler, was part of Manitoba's Dark past, and it's written in a book, written by my Grandfather, Thomas Fiddler called "Killing the Shamen"... It's a good read, and relates to me with what's going on in this Pandemic World we all live in... Anyway, just wanted to write a brief comment about his name... Meeway, Megweech 👍🏼

Right on uncle, the guys and back up singers ... much respect for you guys
