What do Indians sing on traditional festivals?

In traditional festivals, when Indians meet their friends, they should sing "welcome songs". When you sing for bears, you should sing the religious song Song of Bears (bears are regarded as the strongest gods and the cutest animals). When people sing religious songs, they gather in a sacred hut made of branches to hold a banquet, sing all night and sacrifice dried meat pies and other food to bears. Grassland dance is a popular song (first sung by soldiers, and then evolved into a performer's tour); There are about 100 sticks and balls, which are the songs that people sing in the game and the most popular songs. The host of this game is often a witch doctor, elder or special group. Both men and women can participate, but women can only sing or watch. Game participants can be divided into two groups, 2 to 20 people, sitting or kneeling face to face. There are 10 baseballs standing between the two sides. One of them has two cylindrical bones in his hand (one of which has a black line, so he can't see it in his hand), and keeps turning around the other side, so that the other side can guess which hand has the grain of the black line, and the rest are combined. It's convenient to win a stick and two bones if you guess right; If the opponent can't guess (within a certain period of time), the player who holds the bone wins two sticks, and the game continues as usual until one side loses all the sticks. Different "Cudgel Songs" have different rhythms.

Indians living near the North Pole, drums are their main musical instruments (they also play drums when singing); They also have flutes made of bird bones, whistles made of bark and flutes made of grass stalks. Songs (often just as the accompaniment of dance) can be divided into love songs, carols, greetings, battle songs and so on. Almost everyone in Tuqiong likes to sing love songs to express the romance of their love or the thoughts between lovers; Odes mainly praise nature or one's hometown; Greeting songs are mainly sung at wedding banquets and funeral banquets; Hahn people should sing a war song in the battle to encourage soldiers to kill the enemy bravely.
