Haida: Indian Music/ Var - Haida: Indian Music / Various

The music of the Haida tribe in the Pacific Northwest is shrouded in secrecy from outsiders because of it's sacred role in society. However, musicologist Ida Halpern managed to collect a number of recordings of Haida songs from tribespeople eager to keep their heritage alive. This album contains songs about love, celebration, war, drinking, and dialogue between Halpern and the singers.
