Thanks Jef...

"Overall, I would also like to hear about more chants and local chants based on our ancient native lands and occupants. Practicing chants from the local indian tribes would be more beneficial and perhaps empowering vs the monkey chant."

Unfortunately that would still be cultural appropriation. Animist/indigenous practices belong to indigenous people, they are the out come of many generations of relationships between a people and a place. Practicing the traditions of others is like imitating the relationship dynamic of a good friend of yours with his wife... in other words you have to begin your own relationship dynamic not imitate or appropriate that of anothers.
Now finding inspiration from the monkey chat and local indigenous traditions is a great place to start. But that doesn't mean we should do what they do, we need to find our own relationships and our own ways of relating.

How did these practices begin in the first place? It was generally speaking the inspiration of one person and it thus inspired others. At this point in history we have some what forgotten this and blindly follow or appropriate something pre-established.

this story I allways feel illustrates the point I am making...

A woman is cooking easter dinner with her mother for the first time in her own home. Her mother is sitting at the kitchen table chatting with her while she begins to prepare the ham. The daughter, slices off the ends of the ham and places it in a pot, then placing it in the oven.
The mother seeing this asks her why she cut off the ends.
The daughter replies, "Well thats how you do it I guess I learned it from you."
The mother exclaims, "Well honey I do that because the pot I have for baking hams is too small for the hams to fit in, your pot fits just fine!"

By practicing these traditions that are not our own we run the risk of missing the point and depth that these practices have for the people who originated them. Even for new generations of traditional people the depth of meaning can be missed like in the example of the mother and daughter, this is even more so the case for those who appropriate the traditions of others or imitate them.
Finding inspiration in these traditions and forming our own ways of relating to life, spirit, community and place can create a depth of meaning for the individuals that is both new, original and connected to the ancients, in that we are following their foot steps in establishing our own ways of relating.
I teach on this subject, and more and more people are finding their own ways of establishing relationships with life and place and community that are really rewarding to them, with out offending or insulting those who are members of traditions from other cultures they do not belong to.
The new ways that are established by people are cultural relevant and more meaningful because they are based on relationships that are pre-existing and relevant, ie salmon instead of monkeys, I for one have never seen a monkey in the wild and have no real relationship with monkey out side of base symbolism.
some one established these traditions... why not us?
