Music was an integral part of the Chitimacha culture. From the earliest documentation by historians of the early 1700's, music has been mentioned along with ceremony, celebration, peace ceremonies and legends. The beginning of the peace ceremony between the Chitimacha and the French in 1718 was a chanting song, along with a stomp dance which lasted nearly a half hour. This was done with all seriousness due to the occasion. Music was made by drums, alligator skins, gourd rattles, and flutes. Legends were told and at a certain point, song would begin.

Today, the old songs and the music that accompanied them are either forgotten, or still being searched for through research. The legends are still remembered, but the songs that accompanied them are gone. But music and dance continues for the Chitimacha. The Chitimacha youth dance in regalia to Inter-Tribal songs, celebrating their culture and people with pride. Elders participate in honor dances and dance with the youth. Chitimacha men are sitting around the drum, singing and drumming, reviving the part of their culture that had been lying dormant. Music has come back to the Chitimacha, in celebration and in song.
