  • If you want it to rain, believe in *Rain dance*, I do. It will come.

  • This is the music that scares away the monster according to my granddaughter.. i agree it is does I am not NAI in outward appearance but I am deep in my DNA my grandchildren are transracial i.e. part Native American part Black and prt white. IN SPIRTE MORE OF THE FORMER THAN THE LATTER. I am in TX with the horrid history of TX i AM on the planet WITH OUR HORRID HISTORY and I need help to grow, heal and teach my babies their true nature

  • Helen, I was looking for beautiful music to download, and I found it; the video too is a fine lesson in a culture we should all know a lot more about. But all art forms should be loved and respected. Thank you for this!

  • Helen! Come back here! 

  • @LamokaGhost To Turtle land :)

  • I know the maker of this video meant well, but the hokey music with the whiteman's "injun" beat, is unknowledgable. This beat is insulting, it's what white's made fun of us with. The indian beat is a heartbeat, and you could have put some powwow music on here. These aremostly powwow pictures, none are rain dances ...eeeeks, not PC. And I know some "indian" made the flute music, right?...

  • @beastshawnee well actually this music was composed by a Native American woman along with many more music, i know Native American music has the beat of the Earth but not all music has the same beat of the Earth, anyway i dont make my video's for the music it is not what im trying to get across, it could be any music realy the point is to me the honour of Native Americans of long ago, i have other video's which i have powwo music im led by creator in my thoughts

  • It's amazing. You should really experience it sometime.

  • @beastshawnee I agree entirely. And the flute music is obviously synthesized. I've had so much trouble finding 'authentic native american music'. Somehow this pathetic offering came up under that search heading.

  • I feel my inner peace when I look at the natives or listen to their music, I love their simplicity and their harmony with nature ...

  • yes i have my opinion and lm going to say it even if it hurts some ones felens because l am free, if you spect me to be sumisibe to you you are wrong i was born in mexico and i have native blod of difrent tibes one of them apache, most mexicans have native blood and we are so prowd of our traditions that we live them every day, . our ancesters died defending their land and freedom and yes im mad for wath was lost.

  • Unbelievable! I watched this video last night and it rained all night!

  • Drugs.

  • to bad eurpeans that become americans dont have any culture or identity , thats wy they are empty .

  • @tabarich1 White Americans are not empty. We come from many cultures, all rich in their various beliefs and traditions. ALL peoples are guilty of violence, not JUST the whites. This is true for modern times as well as for back then. To judge modern people by deeds done by past generations is wrong. The white man isn't trying to get anything in modern times that everyone else isn't trying to get themselves. Judging an entire race with anger only reveals an emptiness within YOURSELF. <3<3<3

  • @FuzzBean84 JAJAJA, YOU HAVE THE NATIVES LIVING IN RESERVATIONS RITE NOW, IF YOU ARE NOT LIKE YOUR ANCESTERS GIVE BACK THE LAND AN GO TO YOURS, AND WHAT TRADITIONS DO YOU HAVE HALLOWEEN ? BE CAUSE CHRISTMAS ITS MIDLE EAST.NOT EUROPEAN,JAJAJA.

  • Comment removed

  • @tabarich1 Plus, America's version of "Christmas" has more elements of Euro-Pagan Winter Solstice traditions than Middle Eastern ones. :)

  • @FuzzBean84 LOL... no one looks at christmas as some pagan ritual u sad sad man... even atheists celebrate christamas... it's a time of family get-togethers, happiness and joy....

  • @gladefoam Before you jump in on someone else, go back and read the conversation I was having with that hate-monger. You completely missed the point of my post. I WASN'T trying to say that "everyone" looked at Christmas that way. I was making a point that whites DO, in fact, have a cultural richness that DOES include ancestral traditions, and that America's version of Christmas had more in common with the old European ways than with ancient Middle Eastern traditions. Oh, and BTW, I'm FEMALE.

  • Learn better reading comprehension, YOU "sad, sad man". And for your information I'M an Atheist, so don't go telling me what I do and don't believe in, you stupid prick. Keep your hate to yourself.

  • im all arab, but native Americans fascinate me! if colonization from europe to the americas didnt happen, so slave trade, imagine how interesting it'd be to see how this all turned out for them.

  • @GypsC Hahaha... then the japanese/chinese wud have taken over the lands and pretty much done the same too.

    And if that didnt happen luckily enuf, then u wud see a giant Bolivia in what is USA today.

  • @gladefoam YOU TINK YOU ARE SO GRATE BUT YOU MANAGE TO MAKE A COMPLETE LAND LUCK LIKE A GIGANT OFICE DRY AND BORING , AND IF CHINA WANTED RITE NOW THEY CULD TAKE AMERICA BUT THEY ARE CIVILIZED NOT LIKE ANGLOS THAT SPONSOR WARS EVERY WERE TO CONVERT ALL THE WORL IN THE GIGANT UNITED STATES YOU TIN EVERY BODY HAS TO TINCK LIKE YOU AND THAT REMAINDS ME OF EXTREMIST MUSLIMS.

  • Western society is full of corruption, hate and greed, I adore and admire the Native American culture, beliefs and philosophy with great scope. I'm only 19, I live in the UK, I would love to meet a Native American girl but this will be impossible... =(

  • "Played this song for rain days ago rained last night"

    "what tribe is this from?"

    ~so beautiful~

  • Today about 2:47pm I played this video for rain.I played it until 7:45 than the sky began to darken early.I played the video again.At 9:35pm I heard rain on my roof top. I had checked the forecast for my area and it had no rain for today. Thank you GOD, for the NATIVE AMERICANS SPIRIT AND THEY WAY OF LIFE. They are truly your children.

  • Last year I played this video over and over and over again, because we needed rain in our area for the animals, trees and the crops. It was about this time of year. I went back to comment section 12 and I found it, my comment. That day something told me to play this video and I did. First I didn't believe the thunder I heard, but it kept getting closer. Then It got darker,then the rain came. I love when it rains. SO PEOPLE LETS PLAY OUR FAVORITE VIDEO "RAIN DANCE" . THIS ONE!

  • it's raining a lot in my country XD

  • yeah ,,,,I have my Sioux rattle I might just start dancing for some rain for our folks in Texas... the rain god may hear our prayers for rain what is need it and to make it stop where they had enough aready

  • every time i askin' for rain i pray and dance on this song and it works thanks rain god

  • WE need RAIN IN TEXAS!!!!

  • @MultiPelias are ya happy it's raining now in your country

  • Can't believe it......Almost couple of hrs back it was clear and now it raining like crazy...damn thunderstorms....

  • Search Omaha Waci Olowan :)

  • do you know what the name of this song is?

  • I love Native American music and the beat in the Rain dance just absolutely made my being feel a bit more energized. I am of Irish decent and way back they were also very tribal like. I guess that's why the music speaks so deeply to me.

  • nice pictures

  • Its SWAAAAAAAAAAAILI

  • The only way it can rain in your area, you have to meditate while you listen to this song, if not it's not going to happen.

  • Helen...have any idea what year that video at 2:11 was taken?

    Just curious.....

    Loved this...thanks for posting!  :)

  • Amazingly Beautiful... <33 (:

  • love the music calming and relaxing....the pictures are beautiful.

  • The Sioux aren't gone, there are a lot of Sioux still living in the Dakotas. My bf is Cherokee and Apache. We live just north of the Oklahoma border and it's 105 here today (that's temperature, not heat index). I am wishing for a rain dance!!

  • @reddish68 She did not say the Sioux are gone. She said THESE Sioux are gone, as the footage of them is so old, & she wonders where their descendants are. I quote, "sad to think they are long gone since that video was taken i wonder who their now relations are, as they are all sioux"

  • @reddish68 She is referring specifically to the very old black & white film footage starting at 2:11.

    @helen1434 That is amazing footage, Helen. & well worth 50 pounds!  THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing that!

  • It is 93 degrees here in Manhattan...let's see if we can darken those skies and bring down the rain <3

  • I am loving this! <3

  • true pride.

  • @helen1434

    What really happend :

    There was no rain announced for a week, I listened this song and, inside me, I felt better. I went to work under the heavy sun with this song in my head during all the day... I rained during all the night !

    I guess I should be thankful ! :)

  • @LordBlackJack awww how wonderful thank you for letting me know that im so happy you felt better that makes my heart feel happy

  • @LordBlackJack You have to believe in it too,not just try the rain dance lol.im white,east-European and im f...n' LOVING American Natives Culture.You have the Worlds most beautifull culture,don't let no one destroy it.!I wish i was borned "indian" or native american or anyway u wanna call it.

  • this is a very nice video footage of a once very sacred thing as with many of the things ive culture it has ben recorded for it's fancy dancy thing lease respect this footage as something sacred. you have been blessed to obtain it.

  • 50 Pounds for a performance? That's "making it rain too"! lol

  • @MarcusDarling4026 clip not performance its as old as the hills and special to me

  • @helen1434 That clip has brightened my day. I am of Comanche blood and our fancy dancing is close to the same. If only I could hear the chilling drums

  • @MarcusDarling4026 It sounds like you didn't even watch the video & don't realize the actual footage that she is referring to! CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM, PLEASE! TYVM! JFYI, it starts at 2:11.

  • Oh my gosh...so many memories. I danced to something like this in my first council fire reenactment...brings tears to my eyes. Rain, sort of XD

  • I watched this yesterday and this morning we had rain :) Thanks for sharing, must be the authentic dance doing it.

  • I'm half cherokee. I believe in the rain dance. If they need rain...it WILL happen.

  • need rain...

  • Somebody knows what instruments are used on this theme? Thank you.

  • I NEED THE MP3 OF THIS STAT.

  • Is this music traditional American Indian music?

  • @Stewie4guvna well now it was a Native American woman who composed this tune, so i guess you can say yes

  • my great great great grandmother was a ojibwe woman in the tribe

  • anyone ever been in the Okanagan territory?

  • Love it... so much...

  • The Native Americans are the most interesting culture, way of life I have ever come across, it is like the most mystical, ultimate hippy, nature oriented, free, spiritual, honorable, unity with all, etc, etc,,, I think I might have been a N American in a past life, because when I go camping I get lost in the nature and feel like I find a part of myself. I think we all need to go on our own vision quests, so that we can find what we all lost in this world, and bring it back

  • @whiteej21 I agree,this happened to an even greater degree and more well known with the old traditional Mexican Aztec Indians aswell,alot of other tribes hated the Aztecs so they teamed up with Spaniards to defeat the Aztecs,and it worked despite the Aztecs having the strongest and most advanced native american empire,either them or the Mayans but either way they fell,just like the greeks,just like rome just like persia spain and britaiin etc.

  • @whiteej21 the whites child labor factories and illegally stealing lands-also natives women/children were slaughtered en mass-& children kidnapped & put in residential schools-away from tribes which depopulated-videos "russell means freedom" and "unrepentant" gives info- its worth reading liddie & oliver-to understand the advantage whites had /giving up morals to win

  • @whiteej21 you must be right- i wonder which will survive (with happiness) into the 24th century- have you read about dawes act? interesting

  • @whiteej21 ????ALCOHOL WHITE BREAD SUGAR-HAD NOTHING TO DO with extinction-fight from decreasing lands- matriarcal communism will always be slaughtered down by use of guns/bombs technologies murders of native women/children- read LIDDIE & OLIVER franklin coverup - capitalists are not known for their caring

  • I like the native american flute in this song, although I used a slightly different instrument in my own song Native American Ballad (Pan flute). My song still has a lot of similarities to this song though, and I just love the style, regardless of the exact instruments!! check it out I hope you LIke it!

  • oo hail rain gods

  • shame on culture...only our ancestors know the truth

  • you should watch the series "500 Nations" hosted by Kevin Kostner... so much to learn about the Native Americans.... makes my blood boil to learn & see how exploited they've been over the years.... It's the true way to live.... the earth doesn't belong to US.... we belong to it!!!

  • @susinu thanks very much il have to check out that film always looking for film with Native American in it

  • @susinu Happy Earth Day! :)

  • @susinu word.in harmony with mature.take what you need, let the rest be what it is. european man only thinks about money..unfortunately i am from europe too.

  • @susinu It really takes some effort & research to separate the true culture from mysticism & fiction. In my opinion, this land was invaded & the Native American cultures virtually consumed. Like the ancient Romans used to do, among many others, a new culture replaced the old, left no room for it. Native Americans were accused of being barbaric, granted they were a feudal society, & sometimes forced at gunpoint to convert to Christianity. After all this time, who knows how much was utterly lost?

  • @susinu thanks very much about that information,i didn't knew there are so many movies,i look for western and all kind of native's movies ,but all i get on google are some 1930-60 movies. i will gladly watch 500 Nations,thanks again.peace 7 much love to all the native from the entire world.And yeah...Thanks God for showin me their culture!

  • @susinu EXACTLY, they knew how to live as the singluar planetary organism we are on this planet.. and with the universe as a whole, and sickens me to think what the ignorant and power greed enthused people did to this great people... and in turn to us and the future of our race as a whole...

  • @TheDustinROOT talking about your self again are you ?
