Not really. It is just that I am

What the! Am I hearing things?
And had to test them both with the “Hiawatha” poem, within the link.
When I hear the beats of 4 – (I subconsciously awake) The importance of number 4, eh,
ImthatIm - you are familiar with that number
your way through
your culture and tradition.
Longfellow’s “Hiawatha” – I trust is a genuine collection of Native American stories, though I don’t know for sure. Longfellow just compiled them and put them into our poem-meter style. And our singers didn’t ‘invent’ it – that chanting style comes from how old oral tradition in Eurasia/Siberia.
Some had it some didn’t and I don’t know which one is which.
Not expecting anyone to see this, but just leaving the link here:

But if a somewhat similar chanting style existed/exists in shamanic South America as well (???) – was Longfellow then fraudulent? (as he was publicly accused of plagiarism by Thomas Conrad Porter at the time) Or did he choose
intuitively?
I think sometimes it might be best to leave things as an open question-mark.

I’m learning – thank you
Yeshe!
And
if one is a descendant of a trance culture – one
is a descendant of a trance culture.
