Nobody's perfect and they made some mistakes, but there's no reason to put them down... I've heard a lot worse singing and I've heard a lot of songs get butchered.... bottom line is that they're trying, which is more than what most of the people criticizing could say
always look to the positive. props to these natives coming together to sing regardless of what people see as "bad representation" or "bad drumming." great job guys! :)
From what I understand the term regalia is a caucasian word used to describe things relating to monarchy or fine clothing. So costume is a close term, but it is whatever you want to call it, it is all English. We are all creatures of the earth so race and language do not mean much but what you do with both is what shapes the world and its people. Being Saponi native I know.
Not crazy about the leads, and honor beats were all over the place, alot of playing around. I think you got to show more respect when you sing this song for the people. Yaw^
Mike Bellanger, lead singer, always ready to set up his drum for community gatherings, powwows, honorings, ceremonies. Many blessings to him and his family for helping to create a strong modern traditional community in the East Bay. Good people, good family. . and this song will live and carry our people through this next century with the hope and integrity that it was created with.

Too fast. Bad representation. Good voices, but there are times when you sound like a bunch of galloping voices. Control those sticks...
Great song, but I have to say I wish it was better represented here.
