It is wrong to believe that all native Americans used the same war cry, with many different native words used to describe them. It is likely that each tribe used a different sound; the Crows are the only tribe (as far as I know) to use the flat-hand-tapping-the-mouth while giving the war cry, which some people today regard as a typical native war whoop.
I have heard recordings obtained by the Wannamaker expeditions in the early 1900s of Cree, Blackfoot, Lakota and Crow warriors giving their war cries and they are all different (the Blackfoot version is terrifying).
Today they are all simply called war cries and they are seldom heard except as part of demonstrations of native singing and drumming.
