[mistypinephotography]

Miigwich!!! moves my spirit in a good way!

[Ithiliel86]

It is so wonderful, it brings tears to my eyes. My Grandma is from a Potawatomi tribe. I love this song. I miss you Grandma

[spiralpapermoon]

Thank-you for posting! I love Native American music, always have. It's always stirred something really powerful within as @tattooyou has said; and music that does this has the power to unify and collapse superficial boundaries between us all, helping us to perhaps have a tiny glimpse of something divine. Beautiful. ♥

[MyLalinea]

are the ojibwa from the usa or canada?

[mistypinephotography]

@MyLalinea both...they have the largest area

[farr0222]

if the words dont touch your spirit....I truly believe you must be lacking something. You dont need to be First Nation to appreciate the beauty of this prayer.

[IhsanOnly]

Isn't it amazing that we all can share all this beautiful things..... I'm a Muslim and I find this very calmful...

[NATIVEPRIDE145]

Boozhoo, i am from Chippewa of the Thames First Nation in Ontario. i love being Ojibwa! the strongest tribe around megwetch for posting this song i love it

[jennifer171986]

@NATIVEPRIDE145 isnt it meegwetch?

[notmrbill]

Don't have any Native blood in me, but I love their music and culture. I have the utmost respect for the Natives and I wish the gov't here in Canada would give the Natives the respect and recognition they deserve. By the way, I love near a park named after the Ojibwe tribe.

Greetings from Canada

[ABRONXTALE9]

very good,seen are fathers form the past,i swear i saw my self,my soul in them when the song was playing.

[janwalsh1000]

My husband, whom has passed on, belonged to the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe in Minnesota. My daughter and I have learned some of the language, mostly names of snow and animals. We lived on his reservation for ten years before he died. I am Cherokee, but was born and raised in Arizona. Thank you for putting this video together, it brings a tear to my eye and reminds me of my husband. The pictures are beautiful.

[Raven101able]

I am in the USA

No Ojibway around here much. I studied some speech no where to use it here.

Great Grandmother was one of the people here; but I want to

thank you for this prayer.

for it there is forever on a sacred place in my being.

[sarahmakeswarnotlove]

I am of Chippewa blood, my father is registered in the tribe. Looking at me you could never tell. I am very light and have blond hair. I do have some native features high cheek bones, a slight curve of my eyes, My hair grows like crazy. I was raised white, and have not had any contact with the native part of my family. I never go around boasting about my native ancestery like you see a lot of white kids doing lately. I do feel like I missing a part of me. There is something untapped.

[sarahmakeswarnotlove]

@sarahmakeswarnotlove I feel it in my blood, or when I close my eyes, if that makes any sense.

[bullrambler]

It's always nice to hear someone singing with exceptional tone and timing (without screaming). Let's keep out old traditional songs alive, so our upcoming generations will know that our ancestors always acknowledged and maintained their special place in creation...!

[37butterflyprincess]

sault ste marie ojibwe on my mothers side, though only 1/16 or so

[myarockergirl12345]

i love this is soooo nice

[MontagnaisPrincess]

Im half Native American and half African American and I find this song 2 be very spiritual and powerful! Beautiful Song! :)

[rockkilla483]

This song is beautiful...

[Lil3MoNsTeRz]

I'm actually from rockyboy, &im full Chippewa-Cree....this song is so touching, love it<3

[TheNjkm11]

Ojibway Chippewa i am both of my adoptedd parents are both white they think they understand or they think i'm crazy when i believe i hear voices singing when i hear the wind and water rushing through...i am proud to be who i am they can suck it if they dont appreciate who iam or else why did they adopt me in the first place?

[SniperCurse]

Whenever I hear this song it send's chill's down my spine, it make's me proud to have Native Blood in me =')

[TheNjkm11]

i am 1/4 chippewa and something also stirs me inside when i listen to this song it's like i know it from somewhere but this is thie first time i heard of it!

[shniddles]

@TheNjkm11 Don't get caught up in fractions. Even though I was born on the Rez, I thought I was "3/8" for a long time. Until I realized that that couldn't be if my Dad was full blood and my Mom was half. The agencies decreed us far less in order to give us less benefits (as if they gave us that much in the first place).Who are they to tell us "how much" native we are. If you've live the life(meaning; do you feel out of touch with the modern world) then what "part" native are you?

[BigPhil22]

I'd like to hear a "non studio" version of this. IE without the backing track and echo.

[kizheblady]

Miigwech.

[KellysCArmel0ne]

I am of Ojibwe or Chippewa descent. Over 50% actually and i am very proud to be..I lov the music and someday want to learn the flute..

[shniddles]

@KellysCArmel0ne "Just buy a flute and start playing with it." I put off the flute for most of my life until an Elder told me that same thing. Practice ascending and descending the scales, and remember that in order to get different sounds you need to get several sizes of flutes. If you want to practice without dragging your instrument around, buy a recorder or penny whistle. That way you don't have to worry about your flute getting damaged.

[animatqua]

The 'boozho' greeting comes from a legend. When Nanaboozho left the People for the spirit world, he promised he would return. Now when someone is greeted with 'boozho' they are asking, "Are you Nanaboozho returned?"

An Anishnabe Elder, Veronica Medicine, taught me this.

[316bluethunder]

@animatqua bonjour monseur from the french.Its actually a french term

[Lucjan47]

Great songs (although I do not understand words), and the beautiful culture of the Native Peoples of America. Glory and respect for you.

[guerillaherbalist]

Forgive me if I missed it somewhere, but what is the recording the music is taken from??

[babyluvz79]

i have some ojbwa blood and a touching prayer

[OjibwaSkateboarding]

This makes me proud to be Ojibwe. This also saddens me because it reminds me how much was taken from us.

[Bimon1234567]

@tattooyou

Maybe it appeals to your inner Germanic/Celtic/Slavic tribesperson.

;-)

[zachmcgough191]

I am sadden that we're more interested in Justin Beiber than we are in something as powerful as this.

[RevBillyRayCollins]

Beautiful.

[teawithsu]

If it makes me stop crying, it's got to be good.

[ABRONXTALE9]

@teawithsu it was moving one night,sitting here watching ppl from the past like there were in the moment,made me feel proud to be native

[dliteoflife]

boozho is french speak... ahnin.

[WaagooshTheRedFox]

@dliteoflife i was taught that boozho comes from naniboozho which is a very famous character in many ojibwe stories. these stories date back to long before the french came here to michigan.
