I cannot speak for these people, just know these songs are thousands of years old, and sung in "cycles" to complete a full set. They watched the migrations of flocks of birds during the year, and this pattern of nature inspired the songs. I have been trying to record as much Bird as I can, since I live here. I have a bit of Chumash, Paiute, and Ohlone on this channel too. Peace!

Amigo Kandu Thanks for the info Love the singing and keep posting the awesome songs..

BASICLY ITS OUR WAY OF SINGING NATIVES IN THE PLAINS AND TOWARDS THE EAST USE DRUMS, WE SING USING THESE GORDS

There are videos on here that explain the meaning of the Bird songs, at least for the Cahuilla people. Look them up.

*A documentary was produced, called We Are Birds, here's a link to the trailer: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y8Bkp5CB0MrZlZc.html *And here's a link to the documentary website: www.wearebirdsdocumentary.com/ *I think you answered some of your question: what does it do for people? Just think, what did it do for you? You said, "makes me feel easy." Want to carry that question forward? I recommend looking into your own ancestral ways, before "California" was a thing and "Canada" was a thing. What are the songs your people carried? What did those songs do for them? Ánimo :D

From WeAreBirdsMoview.com:Birdsinging is a form of music traditionally sung by the First Americans of the southwest. These rhythmic songs accompanied by handmade gourd rattles are known to have been out here for at least 10,000 years, although according to oral tradition, they are even older, perhaps even 25,000 years old! These songs of our earliest ancestors are still sung by our people today. Locally, the Cahuilla peoples have a birdsinging tradition that honors each day of the year, with a body of songs numbering over 365.In addition, the Creation Story tells of a time when we were all birds, and flew three times around the world before finding a permanent home in what is now Southern California. To honor this flight, bird songs are traditionally sung over a period of three days. Other groups around the Cahuilla people traditionally shared our songs and sang and shared their own, along with other traditions, which has given the southwestern Natives a long history of cultural connectedness.

Thank you so much for this information. That explained it a lot better than what I have found so far.
