The science of using Sonic Waves to burst water laden rain clouds was practised by the First Nation Native Americans for centuries; the process of sending out Sonic Waves that register at particular frequencies towards clouds in the sky from Ceremonial Chanting and Drumming is still in practice today.
However, Climate Change is causing a change in the weather systems which could result in far less cloud coverage over many regions of the planet witnessing extended periods of drought.
Anomalies in regards to earth’s jet stream currents, (which are on the whole showing more erratic (i.e in this case weaker wind strength movements across the troposphere area of earth’s atmosphere), are caused by Global warming which is directly attributed to high levels of atmospheric pollution from greenhouse gas which includes C02) and whereby the weaker and less stable jet stream currents are resulting in the Polar Vortex warming of Earth’s Stratosphere.
Such unstable Climatic conditions (in conjunction with factors such as various atmospheric aerosol polluters which also affect weather patterns and which include regional rainfall patterns) will undoubtedly make the utilisation of Traditional Ancient Sonic Waves a little more difficult across certain other areas in terms of waiting for heavenly showers in many instances.
Yet despite the odds of any rain coming down any time soon-especially in areas that are not only particularly and historically prone to drought, but also across areas that are increasingly becoming drought prone), the Sacred Rainmaker traditions still remain today.
Whilst irrigation methods were used in areas where they could be implemented, i.e in accordance to the location and availability of water along with the regional climate of an area; the importance of the Rain Dance was not only to encourage rain; but also to give thanks for the rainfall that occurred across many Native American regions of land (dating back to thousands of years), that were spread out across wider and greener areas (i.e less drought prone areas from free flowing Eco-historical migratory movement; alongside of ancient migratory movement towards a small number of naturally drier areas, (such as South Western Arizona and parts of New Mexico) which received less rain (yet at the same time where the land was not to the point of being completely arid, untenable land, i.e the such areas of land which were still at the time Savannah grassland and whereby the Rain dance would in some instances would be contributing factor in rain showers coming down upon both dryer less pastured regions as well as greener regions which in turn caused the movement of horses along with other cattle/livestock such as bison and buffalo to be drawn into the areas that received the rain water where they could feed/graze on areas of grassland.
The Native American Rain Dance would be done at least three times a year, which coincided with the planting of crops such as maize and beans and was also performed at the time of harvesting for such crops (amongst a various other number of crops).
It has been reported that some of the various techniques employed within weather management practices such as cloud seeding, (which began to be put to use in the 1940’s and have now become even more prevalent over the last twenty years plus), run the additional risk in the area of weather management anomalies, such as increased weather pattern displacement in terms of atmospheric disruption occurrences, alongside of any naturally occurring climatic flux anomalies taking place across the planet.
The Science of the Traditional Rainmaker is not merely some figment of the imagination or mumbo-jumbo of somebody employing this ancient cultural practice; but shares a commonality with dowsing, which at times has also been used in other various fields (including geo-engineering).

In an age where not only drought, but other additional Climate flux occurrences are increasing within a widening spectrum of weather (alongside of weather management) anomalies, (and which in certain instances are highly likely to be contributing to a window of not only increased unpredictability in terms of regional rainfall patterns, rainfall thresholds, and increased flooding along with landslide risk; but also in terms of appearing to feed into a loop of ocean acidification, resulting in higher global warming and running an additional risk within the spread of forest fires); it must be remembered that the Sacred Tradition of the Rain Dance which dates back to Millenia of Indigenous Agricultural Practices, remains and continues to remain not only of Cultural, Spiritual and of Eco-historical importance, but also is a Science in its own right.
