Abstract
Pow-wows are nothing without the songs. They carry the stories, which in turn carry the culture. The words themselves are secondary, for it is the sound that is heard by the spirits of all living creatures. The music possesses a mystical element within it, and is said to touch the soul. It is this that the songs and the beat of the drum appeal to. Though the words have been lost, the meanings behind the songs survive.
