Fuck it I've made a pretty big list of Pow Wow drum groups either for ppl already in the pow wow scene but wanted more drum group recs, or for people just getting into pow wow music & wanted some recs. I've split them up into groups by where they were founded and (usually) most of their members are from, because if you go to a pow wow in one of those countries, then you're a bit more likely to see the groups that are from there in person. Note that this is not an exhaustive list, there's a LOT more that I'm either forgetting, haven't heard of, or they have not posted their music on any streaming sites.

Canada

Northern Cree, Whitefish Jrs, Red Bull, Young Spirit, Seekaskotch, Little Island Cree, Big River Cree, Iron Swing, Cree Confederation, Poundmaker, Little Axe, Moccasin Flat, Mosquito, Mountain Soul, Northern Wind, Blackfoot Confederacy, Eya-Hey Nakoda, Bear Creek, Rock Hill, Cree Society, Stoney Park, Black Bear, Eastern Eagle Singers

USA

The Boyz, Midnite Express, Southern Cree, Cozad, Bad Nation, Wild Band of Comanches, Iron Wood, Kicking Woman, Mandaree, Black Lodge, Omaha White Tail, Tha Tribe, Black Thunder Singers, Stoney Creek, Black Eagle, Meskwaki Nation, Youngbird, Elk Soldier, Southern Outlaws, Whitefish Bay Singers, Thunder Hill, Toka Nuwan, Smokeytown, Indian Hill, Whitetail Boyz, Young Grey Horse, Black Otter

Misc. (I don't know where the singers formed the group and/or are primarily from, or the group has singers from multiple places)

Eyabay, Battle River, High Noon, Lone Creek, Pipestone, Painted Horse, The Red Shadow, Thunder Mountain Singers, Blackstone, Ode'min Kwe Singers, Elk Whistle, Dakota Travels, Lake Vermillion Singers, Fly in Eagle, Wild Rose, Little Otter, Wabanaki Confederacy, The Horses, Mad Dawg, Blazing Bear

1. New treaty promises safer conditions for Indonesia’s fishing crews

“[… T]he convention seeks to establish minimum standards for occupational safety and health, fair wages, decent working conditions, social security, legal protection, and adequate rest for workers in the fishing industry. [… E]xperts say the ratification will also support marine conservation by reducing incentives for labor abuse and illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing [… and] help improve the traceability and credibility of Indonesian seafood exports[….]”

2. A new corridor reconnects one of Ecuador's richest rainforests

“Today, the Ecuadorian government […] announced the creation of the Yasuní-Limoncocha-Cuyabeno Corridor, a new conservation corridor more than 173,000 hectares (427,000 acres) of Amazon rainforest — an area larger than the city of London. […] Though protected areas typically limit human activity, connectivity corridors are different: They’re designed to support wildlife and people, allowing sustainable land use while giving animals room to roam.”

3. Donated solar system to aid Denver-based refugee support organization

“A refugee aid organization in Denver is celebrating the completion of a donated 60-kW solar system that is expected to save the organization over $350,000 over the next 20 years. […] The solar installation is expected to eliminate most of Project Worthmore’s electricity expenses. Those funds will instead support educational classes, community programs and shared spaces that serve families and local organizations across the Denver metro area.”

4. Rescued lynx from Ukraine settles into new habitat

“The Big Cat Sanctuary […] featured an emotional milestone as Ursa, a Eurasian lynx rescued from war-torn Ukraine, took her very first steps on grass. […] The groundbreaking facility is designed to mimic the cats' native environments across India, Sri Lanka and Nepal and features three five-metre (16.4ft) high outdoor enclosures linked by elevated walkways to encourage natural roaming, alongside a large immersive indoor house and private breeding spaces.”

5. Post–Hurricane Helene, this community is getting creative with solar

“[… A] trailer outfitted with 900 watts of solar panels and a smaller battery to help do the job […] is able to plug into the community center and function as a mini generator for crucial services, including the internet, refrigeration, and the pump for a drinking-water well the collective drilled on-site the winter after Helene destroyed an Asheville water main. […] Most of the time, it serves as a mobile outlet and tool-charging station for Poder’s home repair crew[….]”

Cemeteries are not wastes of space. Historical cemeteries ESPECIALLY are not wastes of space. The fact developers are continuously foaming at the mouth to destroy them and put a strip mall up in their place should make you even more determined to help maintain them. In urban areas, they are a haven for wildlife. They are a green space. If you are too afraid of death to utilize them for that purpose, that is on you.

zooophagous

Thank you. Historically cemeteries were treated as parks, and it wasn't uncommon to see people not only enjoying the grounds but actually playing games and having picnics there. Somewhere along the line we decided that these activities were inappropriate and that cemeteries were off limits and now people see them as wasted space because they feel too awkward to enjoy them.

They're not only beautiful green spaces but excellent public displays of history and art history, and if you care to look closely you can find out a lot just by studying stones.

For example- notice how few modern headstones are dedicated to young children versus the ones erected before vaccines were widespread.

The cemetery near here has the state's largest silver maple crowning its grounds. Many of the trees in older cemeteries are some of the largest and oldest trees in an area.

Cemeteries are for the living, not the dead. Enjoy them. Go birdwatching in them. Don't be stupid in them sure but don't be too afraid to touch them either.

And for the love of God don't mindlessly support turning them into parking lots and ""luxury"" condos.

Okay, let's talk about kids and needles.

Because under the post about giving minors the right to medically consent, people are spreading a ton of misinformation on this - largely because they just do not question the stuff they just assume are "normal". Which here is: "kids are all afraid of needles and therefore if we let them consent or not to medical proceedures, they would just not consent and not get vaccinations, because needles hurt".

And, look. Here is the thing: no, needles do not actually hurt a whole lot. And while, yes, certain procedures that involve being stabbed by a needle hurt more if you are younger for a bunch of reasons... that is actually not the main reason children fear needles. Because, again: the pain is not that bad. And most kids, especially young kids, whose motor skills are still developing, usually will have a bunch more hurting scratches, bruises and the like at any given moment than there will be pain from the needle.

No, from what research can tell, the main reason kids are afraid of needles, is more that for many of them needle procedures are very traumatizing. And that is largely because of the consent issue.

Imagine you are a person who is still pretty darn new to that whole human thing. So for one, yes, your brain is actually not that great in understanding what pain is dangerous and what pain is a safe limit of pain. So yes, someone intentionally hurting you (like with a needle) is really kinda scary. But then there is also the thing where this person hurting you is not telling you why they are doing. The people who you normally trust with keeping you safe (your family) is betraying you, by just holding you down and scolding you for crying over it. Or maybe it is not your family, but some strange nurse who is holding you. And while you are scared, because someone is intentionally hurting you, while someone else is restricting you, the adults around you are telling you, that your emotional reaction to this is actually bad and you are wrong for reacting that way. They might in fact lie to you and tell you that something that is insanely scary to you is "not that bad", instead of just understanding that it is super scary to you. And that is then what you start to expect whenever you see a doctor prepare a needle: people holding you down, hurting you without reason, and telling you that you are wrong for being upset, actively gaslighting you.

We have research on this. And this research is pretty clear: most kids are actually somewhat okay with needles, if you inform them why you are doing it, allow for them to have their emotions, talk to them about their emotions, and allow for them to set at least some conditions.

And frankly, I hate how many people just accept the framing of "kids are naturally afraid of this because it hurts". Like, folks, I know y'all are fucking Americans and that in your culture it is kinda normalized to like put kids into like some sort of fortified hamsterball to stop them from like doing typical kids stuff. But... let me tell you: if you do not do that, kids will actually very regularly engage in dangerous play that they know will often end up in injuries that are going to hurt. And, no, they are not to dumb to understand that. The kids know that this is what might happen because of their play. They actually just take the risk. Yes, they will cry if they get hurt, because - again - their nervous system is still calibrating how it relates to pain. But they will likely do that thing again and again. I can tell you: I fell down a tree so often during my childhood, and I still climbed it. Again and again. So did most kids I knew. Like, fuck, we lived next to a forest. We played "Tarzan", and tried to go along paths without touching the ground. And we fell. A lot. And we still did it.

It is not the fear of pain that makes kids afraid of doctors. It is the fear of the associated force, and gaslighting.

The thing is, if you don't explain it, how are kids meant to give informed consent? That's why a woman named Mary Jenner created The Butterfly Pig, which sells medical play toys to families with medically sensitive kids and children's hospitals, so kids can play about the stuff that's going to happen or watch their caregivers show them. For this reason in particular, there's a syringe toy to simulate injections, and it includes a Buzzy toy, which imitates a real Buzzy that vibrates and is cold so injections don't hurt as much, and the real Buzzy is used in over 5,000 hospitals and clinics globally.

YES YES YES YES

look up “child life specialists”

— the profession is fully dedicated to supporting kids and families in the health care setting, and a significant portion of that is educating kids (in a way they can understand, developmentally) and making plans With them to make the experience easier!

And there is SO MUCH research out there! If you explain to kids what’s going on, they need less anesthesia, get better quicker, and have less medical trauma— which leads to a willingness to accept preventative care in the future!

Child Life has been leading the charge in this area for decades, and it’s so awesome to see it becoming more mainstream knowledge!

Saw this earlier:

So, gentle reminder/warning for beginner gardeners that rosemary, where perennial, will easily get 4 feet tall and wide with time. In fact, several of the plants pictured above want much, much more room than they've been alotted.

I beg of thee, as a life long gardener and landscaper, to consider the mature size of your perennials when you're making your garden plan. I love your enthusiasm and excitement, and I just don't want you to get disappointed by the results of a planting perennials this close together.

As an alternative to planting rosemary, sage, and lavender six inches apart thus leading them to a bitter fight for light and space, consider planting them far enough away that they can reach their mature size, and then plant annuals in between until they fill the space. Or, plant a low growing ground cover like creeping thyme or brass buttons or sedums. Or just plan to move the perennials when the time comes, but that's my least favored option.

You CAN build and grow a wonderful herb garden that will bring you joy, it's a fantastic idea, just, please, give the plants some space.

And reconsider planting the mint directly in the ground.

A rare piece of Texas prairie has been saved from future development

The preserve is one step closer to its 30,000-acre goal.

A protected piece of the Katy Prairie is now off-limits to future development as conservationists continue expanding one of the Houston area's most important natural landscapes. The Coastal Prairie Conservancy announced this week that it has permanently protected another 60 acres in northwest Harris County, moving the nonprofit closer to its long-term goal of conserving 30,000 acres on the historic Katy Prairie. The preserve encompasses about 20,000 acres across western Harris and Waller counties just west of Houston. Located in the Upper Cypress Creek watershed, the newly-protected tract includes native prairie, seasonal wetlands and working agricultural land. According to the conservancy, preserving the property will help support wildlife habitat, provide natural flood storage and maintain the area’s natural landscape as development continues to spread across northwest Harris County...

Functionally, there's very little difference between watching a movie on poob and watching a movie on basic cable. Yet, for some reason, the advertisements on poob offend me far more

troglobite

ad breaks on poob always interrupt important scenes or make really jarring cuts.

when it's on cable, they've timed the commercial breaks in a way that generally isn't as disruptive. someone took the time to "reformat" the movie for tv.

ads on poob always KNOW that they're on poob and want me to interact with them or click them. the number of QR codes or ads-in-separate-ad-framing/window are infuriating and jarring.

cable commercials are just stupid little skits i can mute to go use the bathroom.

ads on poob are less than 2 minutes--not enough time to do anything, but enough time to piss me off.

cable commercials are 2-5 minutes, which is enough time to go do something/bathroom or snack break, or talk to whoever you're watching with.

ads on poob are the same 3-4 commercials over and over and over and over again, often cutting to them immediately with no warning, and poob struggles to like, catch up to the fact that it's having to show a different progress bar, or a different timer.

cable commercials, esp during primetime, generally cycle through like 10-15 minimum, so you can go an ad break or two without seeing the same commercial. and they usually only pop up during quiet moments, at regular intervals, so you can see them coming--and there isn't a weird lag/loading time.

in both cases i am being accosted by advertisements and treated like a consumer to manipulate and exploit. the volume changes on cable and poob, the brightness level is eye-searing in both cases.

but poob doesn't respect that i'm here for the MOVIE. cable, thanks to preexisting, decades-old norms around broadcast television, still kind of does. kind of. it's easier to ignore those commercials than the ones on poob.

basically i think poob follows ad norms established on the internet--pop-ups, invasive flashing bullshit, creating lag, taking up time and attention--and cable follows established cable norms of, "time for a few minutes of ads that are just stupid little skits instead of spam machines, and then back to your otherwise uninterrupted movie."

ivy-michaels

Yeah honestly that all tracks.

#you are doing some goncharov shit to me

I mean i know what you're saying, but there's about a dozen free ad-supported streaming services and i respect none of them to use any of their names. Meanwhile, Poob has fully entered the tumblr lexicon as a shorthand for stupidly-named tech products, especially streaming services.

ivy-michaels

#we arent doing goncharov shit to you we're doing glup shitto shit to you

mumblesplash

no but the “”ai”” boom is crazy bc they made the entire internet so shitty that the only reason to use it is because it’s where all the people are and now they’re getting rid of the people. like i’m straight up logging off and going to the library there’s nothing on here anymore

mumblesplash

‘here’s how to tell if an image is ai’ ‘signs the person you’re talking to is a bot’ ‘how to tell if a song is ai generated’ ah but consider this: i am shutting my laptop and walking outside

jedusaur

I saw a bsky post last year where someone said their grandma couldn't tell what was real on the internet anymore so she stopped using it and I really, genuinely think the techbros currently ruining everything have never even considered that possibility. their projections and pie charts and market share research and whatever simply do not take into account a scenario where people lose interest in being online. like yeah we're pretty much all gonna keep using the internet to book travel and look up words and order pizza, but in terms of how we spend our leisure time? I'm still extremely online, but in the last few years I've been learning candlemaking and carpentry and sewing, and I was already spending a lot of time cooking and reading books and skating at the rink and hiking, and an afternoon spent on any of those things always leaves me feeling better about myself than an afternoon spent doomscrolling. I think my daily life is going to keep reflecting that more and more as the slop encroaches, and it sounds like I'm far from the only one feeling that way. silver lining to everything, I suppose.

actually pigs shouldn't be at pride even outside of uniform. fuck those guys

bebsi-cola

if you decide to become a police officer then that outweighs any other marginalised identity you can rustle up like. not sorry, who asked you to willingly become a pig

pekkhum

I have heard of black people warning their kids that the race of a police officer is cop and you should not expect solidarity from them. The same applies to other types of minorities.

The sexuality of a police officer is cop.

The gender of a police officer is cop.

When you become the enforcer and protector of capital, you are making the deal to be slightly favored by the system over others like you, in exchange for being its servant. Your solidarity is with the system that you serve, even if it hates you.

If you want solidarity with those the system hates, you cannot be the system's servant and defender.
