Chanting

Ideas and Beliefs Chanting and Drumming Native American chants are similar to what is known as prayers. As prayers have different goals, so do Native American chants. However, some of what is heard may actually be songs and have the same purpose as songs in other cultures. The chants are often not words but vocalizations that hold meaning in themselves. See file below to learn one interpretation of the vocalizations. Remember each tribe was different. [|Peace Chambers Around the World]
