Actually, this what I learned; The true meaning got lost in translation when "black robes" tried translating the Bible into Lakota/Dakota languages. There are actually many meanings for the two words. "Wakan," but not "Spirit" or "Great" best translation is "All that is." "Tanka" can also mean many different things depending on the context and how used. Mystery is one, "Being" or "Power," and a few others.
his is beautiful. This is wakan tanka. When I see picture from the Hubble Space Telescope or the Spitzer infrared Telescope, that is aslo wakan Tanka. Then I think of the Latin hymn "O Mysterium Ineffabile". Thanks for this video.
My goodness dear Helen. This is so beautiful! Thank-you so very much for posting this...so very very beautiful. I love ya sis! Be good to yourself. Peace-n-Love always JP
well name of song is Wakan Tanka and in English at begining talking of all things, Wakan Tanka means to the Dakota's (the Great Mystery) White people reffered to this as Great Spirit. but its a bit more complicated than just Great Spirit. its the supreme power of the Lakota universe. in fact i should put this on side bar, as many people think Wakan Tanka is just Great Spirit it is in a way but much more.
the hill i drive down looks like that waterfall today!! we have copious amounts of rain here!! hope the snow isn't too tricky up your end today. love this. you are so good at splicing these together. love the track too!! big hugs to you!! xxxxx
Beautiful, Helen! I love the way you put these beautiful videos together. The music come across VERY good on my end. Much better than a lot of youtube videos.
Thank you for the work that goes into these beautiful videos.
