@SulAnthony what am I supposed to call people from AIM ? I support them all the way, and I want to be a part of AIM, but before I do, AIM should do a few massacres to get the message across.
@wkttygrl There really are no lyrics to the AIM song. Just listen to the song itself. It has a very set tone: a beautiful melody followed by a bone-chilling legacy of resistance within it. Record it and learn it.
My My name is Nathan Sack from Shubenacadie First Nation. This song is very often sung in honour of one of our band members that was involved in the AIM movement. This song is not a sundance song.
I would be very upset if i came across that type of song anywhere on youtube, as they are not meant to be posted here.
My kids came running in the room when they heard this. They remembered the song from their Papa singing it to them when they were babies. He sings it to all the grandchildren. Love it!
This is A powerful song Love it Go A.I.M ha I'm not racist but I am Lokota Myself and this song has too be remembered for all the ones who sang it while going thru war know what I mean NE ways love it
its not bad singing, you listen to older groups like back when cassette tapes were the thing, alot of them sound like this, plus, the respect of this particular song, you dont need to have any singing skill, its about the power thats been with this song and what this song has seen throughout the years, respect, is what this song needs and is getting with these men you are watching before you
A very POWERFUL song that is, me and some brothers sing this in our sweat. Let the drums rumble are the world with prayers for brother Leonard Peltier!HOOKAHEY!
I actually know a guy down the street who was a member of AIM, and fought @ Wounded Knee, and he's in a drum-group called Red Land, and every once in a while, they will still sing the AIM song at pow-wows.
*FUN FACT* When Red Land did the AIM song back around the '73 seige @ Wounded Knee (and since about 90 % of Red Land were members of AIM) @ pow-wows all over Oklahoma, they were usually forced to leave the pow-wow immediately !!!!
Also there are people questioning the quality of the singing of this song. The fact of the matter is that the creator knows these people are singing from their hearts and feel what they are saying. I think it is wrong for any one to say they need to work on their vocals I watch the video and proudly sing along my self and am proud these relatives are keeping it alive.
like The Knee and Alcatraz and different protests and since there are not many protests and things of that nature people think AIM died down. Like I said earlier AIM is still very much alive AIM is a movement and anyone that sweats or drums or sings or is learning their native roots are all part of the movement. Those words come from Clyde Bellacourt, not exact word-by-word but the general idea.
"was a member" AIM isn't a club were you register and get ur AIM club ID AIM is about keeping alive our culture and traditions and letting other people know of our issues and working to fix them. You said this person is in a drum group. Being in that drum group is part of the American Indian Movement. This person is singing and keeping alive traditional values and language. I was just with one of the founders of AIM the other day and his frustration was that alot of people now bring up things
well st3v3h4py the "WASICU" to correct your proper LAKOTAH should not have been introduced to the DRUM! One of the most SACRED beings of the LAKOTAH since you obviously know it is a spirit, so just because you've probably spectated a sundance dont act like you know DRUM PROTOCAL! We now have Pow wows in Europe DRUM GROUPS from Europe NON NATIVE AMERICAN but i guess thats what we get for WASICU playin INDIAN and NEW AGE Traditionalist selling our ways...
A few years ago, two parents went out for dinner. A few hours later, the babysitter was calling to ask if she could cover up the clown statue in the kids' room, the father said,"Take the kids and get out of the house. We'll call the police, we don't have a clown statue." The "clown statue" is really a killer that escaped from jail. If you don't post this letter on to 10 videos tonight, the clown will be in your bed at 3:00 am with a chainsaw in his hand
if it wasnt for AIM (American Indian Movement, not AOL Instant Messenger) singing this for the people in the 70s Internet Indians wouldnt be posting opinions about drum protocol today, or know what the Lakota word "wasichu" means, or know what a "Sundance" is.
the AIM song sadly has been molested over the years by those who do not understand our culture we now have wasicu singers who obviously do not know "drum" protocol and if its not the wasicu its the new-age traditionalists AIM was a good idea but later turned into a big dick contest for women and publicity not to take away from the legislation they did change for the betterment of the people but they fumbled the ball yo with only peace in my heart
By the way, the people of Pine Ridge need donations for them to order what they can to keep themselves warm for this winter. As you know South Dakota winters are terrible. So donate at least twenty dollars if you can. Thanx.
I always wondered what this song was called. Now I know it's the American Indian Movement anthem. Sweet! Hey, it is true. If anyone here is truely protesting on Columbus day here, then speak up! We need to hear more words about this matter, not who sings this song and who is white or whatever! All our relatives need our help to make our voices be heard!
why they singing a sun dance song? Your not supposed to bring politics into the sun dance way of life, of course bunch of idiots like AIM members wouldnt know that,if they came to Canada they would get a good ass kicking for that.
wat the hell? this is the AIM song, its not a sundance song, damn cree's wouldnt know anything about that, get your sundance facts straight. go ask a lakota since they originated it. damn cree
True, true. But it was the Ojibwa who created the movement. The Lakota's were just a part of it like the Cheyenne and Mohawk, and all those other tribes who were asociated with AIM.
If you are learning this song at a sundance then you must be walking in everydirection getting culture from anyonwe who tells you.my grandmother was one of the ORIGINAL AIM MEMBERS,When women were not members-She was there over 89 years ago.Sorry its not a sundance song-I SAY WITH CONFIDENCE.
Someone needs to straighten out Native American youth coz they are calling south-east Asian and Middle East folks sandniggers, camel jockeys, towelheads, etc yep Native American youth saying that to those people and making them walk away from Natives. If I was one of you guys, I'd work on correcting that problem coz it's making you look bad in eyes of us other indigenous folks and everyone all together. Brainwashed halfbreeds and churcher fool bloods, no good.
BUH! some or most of the guyz that are singing are natives of north america. A.I.M. is an acronym for the american indian movement that represents north america. not south-east asia. all derogatory names such as what u mentioned were not made by north american indians but by white people. all negative responses are usually by pow wow singers and dancers across the u.s. and canada, why?, becuz these guyz are tearin it!!! and besides u just wanted to say bad words on u-2b. whos the racist now?
dude i have no idea what u r talking about , but I'll tell u this . There's a big guy here he's Melanesian indigenous guy, black. If you call him a nigger in his face I think you'd be sent home to your hole in pieces. haha I think it wouldn't help you after that if you say you are Native from America and Pow wow and whatever that would just make it worse next time someone says they are from your location :|
hopefully one day people that dodgen mentions plus himself will stop bending over for whites and join in with the rest of the indigenous world. have hope
I do agree...so how do you reply when some racist calls native american youths sandniggers, and so on? My son has come home so many times with this upset....when I was a kid I would get called wagon burner, and prairie nigger. I had no idea what this meant when I was a kid, but I knew it was mean. I try to tell my son to ignore such blatent ignorence, but people are just mean!
my daughter's a lil brown and she's tall and best student in her class surprisingly the kid that bullied her till Creator answered cries and that kids hand broke, was a Native half breed kid. When they hate on her, I tell her that they hate on themselves because they see their bad condition when they compare themselves to her, so they hate themselves and express it as hate towards her. Kids can understand that if you tell them on their level of understanding-if dog barks at you, you bark back?
this makes me laugh!!! the guy holding the eagle staff is like "i know this bitch aint tryin to lead!!!" then the handrummer gets a call from his mom, he says "mom, im jammin wit tha ndns, they luvin my leads, i think we're goin to gatherins to set up. call you back!"
I do not blame the whites for everything. It is just that a lot of us cannot trust them so easily. Some of them are adopting our cultures and are learning what their fathers didn't understand. Toksha.
Maybe, if the Europeans hadn't shuned out our culture from us for a while. I mean they practically tried to make us ashamed of our heritage, but couldn't do it. Now here we are, still a strong Native people living life as it is, and still trying to survive.
it is a beautiful culture...we can all learn something from it. i understand the notion of sacred knowledge, however if people took the time and actually cared, why not include people with European ancestry? wouldn;t the world be a btter place?
Ok, FYI the "Hollywood Indian with the hand drum" is actually Glenn Morris. He is a member of the Leadership Council of the American Indian Movement of Colorado.
That does not mean he knows shit about the culture or how to sing. Anyone with a brain knows that you dont drum on a hand drum than move your stick over and do honour beats on the big drum.
I could careless...he should stop being an idiot. AIM is poilitical first and cultural second!
horrible, the lead , the second coming in like ok which way do we go how about the tail horrible if your gonna sing the aim song sing it right don't blame the whit guy w/ the handdrum blame the lead singer for not grabbing his beater and stopping him why post that on you tube it's horrible being a singer from a prominet east coast drum we have cd's etc just this song was meant to screamm cry so to say not be a lost where's the beef commercial
thats glenn morris, one of the originators. everyone on here needs to stop writing and fight for your rights. how come i dont see anyone from here out protesting columbus day?
As a singer abd drummer of one of da best groups in modernpow wow country. I am appalled at the guy with the hand drum, singing trad songs while talking, than switching from the hand drum to the big drum to do honor beats! WTF is that! Drumming is sacred and special and thats not to say not to have fun, cause everyone that knows our crew knows we joke alot. But that dude is just wacked doing that, why not drum with everyone else if you wanna sing the song!
I dont know why the white people are so obsessed about out traditions. White ppl will never be able to undrstand the culture fully, this is not grey owl or dances with wolves. Our culture is very real and alive and I take offense when I see these white people trying to practice it! It is a shame and dishonor to us! They look at us and wanna be like the romantic indian they see of T.V, but its not like that, and even if it was..the whites will never understand it.
Props and well wishes from a yucatec mayan in northern california. Our struggle is your struggle, all indigeneous people from South Dakota to Chiapas to Argentina.
Brings back memories of a struggle that I felt very passionate about growing up in the 70s. I was on the trail of broken treaties to Washington DC in 1976 (Bicentennial). The Aim song become so much a part of who I was and still am today. Feels good to hear and see the song again. Thanks so much!
Long live the AIM and may the Earth's desire fr justice be heard! I am a Shi'a Muslim but I have great respect and admiration for American Natives and the AIM. My prayers go to you!
hey Phana24JG,Phana24JG Fuck you you dumbass racsit skinhead fuckers quit fuckin hatin on Native American Music...go listen too your hillbilly bluegrass music punk-ass bitches
Something on Youtube makes me very sad. It's a video titled:
"Pine Ridge Indian Reservation (updated version )" by imateenagedramaqueen. It's a fundie Christian group that is welcomed onto Pine Ridge, then the person completely exploits the people in a cruel way, talking smack about them unfairly. It all seemed so self righteous instead of good hearted. I could be wrong
I is believed that Columbus was Jewish, and fleeing persecution, because of heretics who believed that after killing most of the cat population, then pigs; they decided that Jews were practicing a type of witchcraft and caused the second break out of the bubonic plague, but you probably know all this, considering how smart you are, but I do know that you are only public school educated and probably no further, just a bit of enlightenment..no charge.
Well I had much to say and only 500 hundred characters are allowed, so I tried to shorten it as much as possible without losing the point, but it appears worthless and useless, so I won't waste my time with the American trash.
Wetaughtyouhowtotreatyourwomen,brush yourteeth,wipe yourass,notshyte inyour eating areas,and to keep your animalsseparatefromyou livingquarters,your"ways"were changed whenaccidentally came across a societywhich honored theirfemalecounter parts,practiced selfcontrol throughindividualism.You show ignorance bynot realizing thatmusic comes in allforms,so do somestudying,stray away from theprogandic historiccontext whichinduce hatred;AN IGNORANT MINDIS ONETHAT ISEASIER TO CONTROL.
october 12 1492 will always mark the day when the massacre, rape, slave trade and theft began in America. Columbus Day is an insult to all of us and the consequence of an ignorant society. It should be abolished
Your opinion is just that, soley of your own personal taste, while many others hold this music as ideal. Also, are you indicating that posting negative messages about videos is "better" than what the people in the video are doing?
lets dance, lets go, lets show them what we can do to the world. We believe in native music. our brothers and sisters trying to show you back to our ways. We beleive in native music.

I dont know why the white people are so obsessed about out traditions. White ppl will never be able to undrstand the culture fully, this is not grey owl or dances with wolves. Our culture is very real and alive and I take offense when I see these white people trying to practice it! It is a shame and dishonor to us! They look at us and wanna be like the romantic indian they see of T.V, but its not like that, and even if it was..the whites will never understand it.

Brings back memories of a struggle that I felt very passionate about growing up in the 70s. I was on the trail of broken treaties to Washington DC in 1976 (Bicentennial). The Aim song become so much a part of who I was and still am today. Feels good to hear and see the song again. Thanks so much!

Something on Youtube makes me very sad. It's a video titled:
"Pine Ridge Indian Reservation (updated version )" by imateenagedramaqueen. It's a fundie Christian group that is welcomed onto Pine Ridge, then the person completely exploits the people in a cruel way, talking smack about them unfairly. It all seemed so self righteous instead of good hearted. I could be wrong

I is believed that Columbus was Jewish, and fleeing persecution, because of heretics who believed that after killing most of the cat population, then pigs; they decided that Jews were practicing a type of witchcraft and caused the second break out of the bubonic plague, but you probably know all this, considering how smart you are, but I do know that you are only public school educated and probably no further, just a bit of enlightenment..no charge.
narbona1868 4 years ago
there has been some assertion that COlumbus was a jew, but that possibilityis sketchy at best. he was most likely itialian or portugese.

Well I had much to say and only 500 hundred characters are allowed, so I tried to shorten it as much as possible without losing the point, but it appears worthless and useless, so I won't waste my time with the American trash.

october 12 1492 will always mark the day when the massacre, rape, slave trade and theft began in America. Columbus Day is an insult to all of us and the consequence of an ignorant society. It should be abolished

Lol, an OPINION, is personal taste, and YES RIGHT TO YOU, but in regards to the aesthetics which support such music, your opinion is wrong. LOL
sipajpe 4 years ago
Your opinion is just that, soley of your own personal taste, while many others hold this music as ideal. Also, are you indicating that posting negative messages about videos is "better" than what the people in the video are doing?

It amazes me that you are able to detect who has jobs, and drinks "fire water" through a computer screen.
