And There Are Drums

[AmigoNazar]

Salaam Aleikoum

[Timche1290]

I'm not native, but I believe this song to hold the utmost truth in it.

[SilverMoonWolf21]

Because of are unspeakable history with the tribes I'm ashamed to be white. And the term we gave them is so wrong, so very, very wrong. Indian is the dot, not the feather. The true names, Native Americans > Thier nation names (Sioux, Shoshone, Cree ect.) > their tribe names (Isáŋyathi or Isáŋathi (eng term-Santee or Eastern Dakota), Iháŋktȟuŋwaŋ and Iháŋktȟuŋwaŋna (eng term-Nakota), Thítȟuŋwaŋ they have pefered to be called Lakȟóta (eng term-Lakota) > the names they are called themselves.

[McAleen]

Nuwedi!



[steinstop]

What we need is time.

[dylangenes]

psshh everyones cherokee these days

[RedBannerOfThePeople]

So moving. The history of the native peoples of the Americas is one of history's most tragic tales. :'(

[BoogiNan]

CHEROKEE PRIDE

[alfredpeter1]

I know this song for a long time. Isn't the original version by Peter LaFarge?

[SuperCatzmeow]

@alfredpeter1 i think it was written by Johnny Cash and Peter LaFarge 

[misajoo]

Started reacting to the haters. If only people can imagine what would happen if the land were to go back and the nation was led by those who still follow nature. They would be part of the picture. The human being is part of nature and can follow it and be satisfied. We don't have to follow profit and greed finding out only a few reap the profit and hoard or fritter it away .

[gladefoam]

@misajoo Dude following the nature is different thing. But those natives were talking to freaking animal spirits man. That is plain dumb. Wat do u expect to happen?

[2Halifaxion2]

@gladefoam

Dude...I totally know where you are coming from. I'm from the suburbs of Florida. You better believe the first time I heard about animal spirits, I said "fuck that." As I got older, I learned of ayahuasca. I drank it, then I saw things like my deceased uncle's spirit sitting in front of me giving me advice, I saw the sky open in my "mind's eye," and was given advice by white humanoid figures, which I can only see as spirits. No animals, but my mind is wide open now. Don't disbelieve

[Tonyshawnw]

wow.. I like the song but I am so damn sick of everyone saying "it was the white man!, Blame the white man" what happened in the past is in the past you CANNOT change it, move on and live the best you can. and saying "The White man" is more ignorant we don't call you the brown people.

[AnahuacNicanTlaca]

@Tonyshawnw "what happened in the past is in the past you CANNOT change it, move on and live the best you can."Justifying the crimes of the past & the ongoing crimes of the future. You're words speaks with many tongues. No remorse, no guiltiness, thats what it is called white supremacy,

"live the best you can." On what? What the Europeans had taken away from us? Now the Europeans have the audacity to say that all of their crimes are in the past because they say so & their crimes are justified.

[Tonyshawnw]

@AnahuacNicanTlaca I have no guilt because I didn't do shit, get over it and move on. The bank took everything I owned and I'm not bitching about it all the time. Their crimes wont be justified because their dead!

[YThemertY]

TERRIFIC MUSIC!!!

GREAT VIDEO!!!

FAV!

[mysteriousstranger24]

LET THE INDIANS HAVE THE LAND BACK & LEAD THE NATION, THEN & ONLY THEN WILL YOU SEE PEACE ON THIS EARTH.... I HEARD THEM SPEAK & I'LL NEVER FORGET IT.................. LA.B24

[gladefoam]

@mysteriousstranger24 What makes u think we ll go back to europe?

[707743]

@mysteriousstranger24 I agree, it was their land in the first place. the Indians are very wise, and i believe they would make better decisions for their country.

[Humanbeingflags]

There is no harmony in our world, with other people and nature and all animals, because of everyones greed. (free Spirit)

[MyHealingSoul]

Thanks! It's Native history in one song.

[MakePancakesNotWar]

johnny cash didn't write this. peter la farge did. johnny cash just covered it.

[uglymoon78]

This is a very powerful version, can't say which one I prefer more - this one or Johnny Cash's!

[suburbansusie8]

Columbus? HA! I HEAR DRUMS!

[Poohlosophy]

I love this song -- it reminds us of our history. If it bothers us -- then lets learn from it! Thanks for posting.

[MrPathfinder808]

if you like this you must check out the original by Johnny Cash otherwise known as the man in black.

[ryenev]

I love this song, NATIVE PRIDE

[RivertownWorker]

I will never let my my grandmothers down. I will continue to teach it to my grandchildren. They need to always remember what they went through!

[ArisztidZ]

[MrIndianSupporter]

My message to the white people: Keep your hands off the indigenous people of the America. We will fight for them if you'll touch any of them. So fuck off whites.

[Snakkpungur]

@MrIndianSupporter  Can they do more harm? The forgotten genocide....

[ssgdavis73]

@MrIndianSupporter

REal quickly this is not what Red Crow was saying.. listen to the rest of his music. And yes I am Red!

[solearesoul]

@MrIndianSupporter This song was written by Johnny Cash; a white man. Racism of any kind is wrong. Racism only perpetuates racism. It's time to step out of that vicious cycle.

[MegaCrowman]

@solearesoul actually Johnny WAS part Aboriginal not all white

To the Point of Me having to DRESS UP MY SON as AN INDIAN & SEND HIM INTO THEIR SCHOOLS in early 90s! 1978 FEDS gave US OUR RIGHTS TO WORSHIP CREATOR - *Payment DUES*!

[semma87]

I still like Donna Augustines version better. I pray everyday for the Residential School Survivors. Such a proud day when the Canadian Government finally Apologized for the mistreatment of native peoples in those schools. We are survivors!

[DullardGuy]

my mother grand mother and great grandmother all have stories about them indian boarding schools. I know what you mean about mistreatment.

[FCC053]

[derrbarn14]

for the people who say they are half breeds i think there is more mixed blood then pure i'm half myself.

[yonvunega2000]

Friend, RiverBirch1967, there are plenty admixtures in America, I am Cherokee/Irish. In the middle? Nope! I was born on this land, for that reason we mixed-bloods have a special place, Pan-American Indians, full spectrum 360degrees full circle. Some say we are part of prophecy, like our ancestors, we've just a strand in the web. Circles within circles, learning to walk in right relations.

[RiverBirch1967]

A great man to sing a good song. Why are these songs not out there today? A question for ages, and for those, like me, who are both white and Choctaw. Where are we? In the middle.

[josparkes]

Great song, like it very much, words very emotional !

Norfolk UK

[iFrogsister]

That was wonderful! I am a half breed myself, and im proud- this is the greatest video i have seen!

[mishkakwe]

this song comes from a johnny cash album from the sixties called bitter tears

[lyuskicante]

Thank you for posting.

Can anyone tell me where i can find this story telling, which album or what ever.

I already ask a lot of people, i don t come further than " never heard".

[seyeeyes]

the wolf could not say from its mouth the words aah or laa because wolf's tunga mouth was too too long, so the wolf call was ohoo ohoo ohoo to prey to allah all mighty up above the moon the sun the star's and beyonder and all around in spiritual. aslaam waley come

[hoodoowoman]

Halito! Thank you for this video! I totally relate to this as they tried to force change on my dad and uncles. Me, I am a halfbreed.

[Onionsayswhat]

how come there's no chorus - there needs to be a chorus the melody is good but song is lacking without a chorus

[Onionsayswhat]

there's no chorus.  good song but usually there is a chorus part to every song.

[walkingbear56]

Awesome beyond words.

Red Crow.... in the spirit of Crazy Horse.

Mitakute Oyasin

[walkingbear56]

...spelling bad without first coffee of the day.

[chantdelouve]

Brilliant post

[efkagore]

is it Johnny Cash? anyway...Great video!

[carlthemachoman]

good vid.

[scrolldownyoutoob]

Too the person that ask "why dont injuns fight back now" you need to know, us 'whites' and 'injuns' (you call us native american)have bred together so long their are American Indians in white bodies and whites in Indian bodies. the new tribes will have different bodies, but our hearts have never changed. regardless of the outside influence through the years.

[KYMAMI]

it also goes the same for us who are Native American and black..Pride

[madmanninc]

Why don't injuns fight back now? they'll have so much support and the Whites would'nt be able to do anything due to controversy

[HAYEWATHA]

"madwomanninc" look up a youtube video called "the worriors by iroqua" because the rebelion has already began you don't know it yet.

[madmanninc]

nope cos i'm a brit amd although i try not to sound, ignorant at times it works but pls don't insult me for what i don't know!

[rnv09]

I never knew his story, so sat down and listen to the words of this song And there are drums , That sound out the name of this man "yes there are drums, drums beyond the mountain that is a nice tribute a wonderful song "peace!

[lotus6661964]

wow its very beautiful, thanks foor posting the vid 5 *****stars from me

[SiouxPianist]

Thank you for this! R.I.P Floyd

[RiverBirch1967]

Whoa. This is powerful. I love it and am honored to have been allowed to see it, let alone asked to have it attached to one of mine. I have the full version of the song Legend of Crazy Horse, and then the shorter actual video. I wish to redo the full one now that I can do 10 minutes more. Your honor to me, for either, would be apreciated. "We are dead yet we are living..." and there are "drums beyond the mountains" of the soul.

[RiverBirch1967]

P.S. please disregard my words about attachment to which video, I got confused.
