Answer preview
Through the interview, I asked Pura Fe her perceptions on the functions of the Native American and her detailed response was quite informative. She informed me that the Native music played significant tasks in most of the tribe’s rituals as well as celebrations. For instance, she informed me how boys in her tribe were taught Native songs to sing during their initiation rituals. The boys were expected to learn and practice the songs while being supervised by adults in a designated forest camp only a few kilometers from their village. She further elaborated how in her community, they came up with songs for ceremonies like curing rituals. In her words, she said, “The beliefs and practices of the Native Americans were based on the culture of shamanism where medicine men used their power to heal or make future premonitions.”
