From Wikipedia
The Kwakwakaʼwakw peoples have practiced sacred and secular music for thousands of years. The Kwakwakaʼwakw are a collective of twenty-five nations of the Wakashan language family who altogether form part of a larger identity comprising the Indigenous Peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast, located in what is known today as British Columbia, Canada.
The Kwakwakaʼwakw peoples use instruments in conjunction with dance and song for the purposes of ceremony, ritual, and storytelling (see also Kwakwakaʼwakw mythology). Certain Kwakwakaʼwakw traditions include ghosts who are able to bring back the dead with their song. Love songs are also an important part of Kwakwakaʼwakw music.
