This painting on buckskin shows a Bear Dance in progress.
Notice the “Cat Man” with
his switch, the rows of men and women facing each other,
and the group (presumably musicians) seated around a
trench at the top. (Colorado Historical Society)

Here is a drawing of a morache (sometimes
called “growler” or “growl stick”), the instrument that
makes the unusual sound you heard on the CD/tape. In
the “old days” it was made from a bear’s jawbone and
was scraped with another piece of bone. (Dept. of
Anthropology, Smithsonian Institution, catalogue no.
