Kiowa War Journey Songs
Kiowa elder, Evans Ray Satepauhoodle, explains the origin of some of the round dance songs that are sometimes called "49" songs and appear after powwows proper at "the nine," or the social gathering after the main powwow. The recording of the live round dance songs was made at the 2006 Rogers State University Powwow where Mr. Satepauhoodle was the head singer. After the closing song and closing prayer, Mr. Satepauhoodle led a selection of round dances as a social activity to close down the dance. For this reason, many of the participants, including Evans Ray, are joking around and laughing during the dance. For those not used to powwows, most songs are sung in a very reverent manner, however, these two live round dance songs are meant for fun and winding down at the end of the dance
