Music

For the background music, I searched for Ho-Chunk music and found it cool but unsuitable as background music behind a conversation / story.

I searched EpidemicSound.com for “native american music” and found the following two tracks in about 5 minutes of searching.

“Under the Dark Sky” is not a traditional church / religious song. It has a western feel and it potentially speaks more in the musical language in this region, which is the goal of the messaging: speak to our audience in their words.

Mongolian Dawn, not used but potential, has a rhythmic “Ho-Chunk” feel for future videos.
