[littlet1994]

My grandmother was Half Apache and that makes me 8th Apache. When I hear this song I just want to cry because I feel it in my blood the pain, sufferng, and tears my Apache ancestors went through.

[TheArsenalguru]

"May the sun bring you energy by day,

May the moon softly restore you by night,

May the rain wash away your worries,

May the breeze blow new strength into your being.

May you walk gently through the world

and know its beauty all the days of your life."

Apache Blessing

[jazzflutist]

Sounds good early in the morning, watching the mist come over the mountains here... I live beside a reservation (reserve) and can hear the drumming from my house, sometimes late into the night.

[madamfelony]

this music is beyond hypnotizing, when I listen to this I do it with nothing but one candle, in the flame i can see visions with incredible volume.... this music is beautiful and puts me at peace everytime, I use it for my own healing thank you for some awsome stuff Donah <3

[LoneGranger]

[REBELINDIAN91]

I always wanted to go back home and learn to old ways. The traditions of my people and the lauguage. My really family lives on the navajo reservation. 8 brothers. 1 father 1 mother 1 grandmother and alot of cousins. Someday I will reunite with my brothers and father and visit my mother and grandmother's grave. RIP Ester and Maritive Castiano. My mother and grandmother.

[marylane1977]

One of my dreams when I was a child was to see the Monument Valley and other canyons. I have always loved Native American music, philosophy and their relationship with Nature. 2 years ago I went to Arizona and the dream came true. I CAN'T forget those place and the BEAUTIFUL feelings of being there. I felt that was MY place. Maybe I have lived there in another life...Thanks for posting this.

[99cacahuate]

all native people from Alaska to tierra del fuego( Chile) are one people,DON'T LET THE WHITE MAN DIVIDE US.....

[thevisionaries2012]

Beautiful! My ancestors are Here!

[DarkendRoad27]

you know..if i were an indian in the time of the new comers...i would have killed them all if i would have know of the future. Im sure they would have to

[MyTbradley]

Simply Beautiful!!!!! :)

[Christian53630]

This is one of the most outrageously beautiful place I've been in my life. Located near the 4 corners area in Chinle a Navajo Tribe reservation. I strongly recommended to anyone that haven't been to this area yet.

[hmngbrd]

I've always been fascinated by this.

[amadeogq]

good music

[gopher72663]

One of my many favorite places on the planet! As an Arizona Native, I can't even get enough of the beauty of our state.

[Lordamire]

Simply impressive..

[Uriel1816]

enjoyed this lovely video and music.

[ikker007]

native american and aztec are so great and wonderful people

[LonesomePaleRider]

@ikker007 Aztecs are Native Americans.

[Yesss8]

I have Apache & Cherokee in me. It makes me quite proud that I have native american ancestors. :)

[slimmyest]

@Yesss8 it will make you even prouder to learn the ways of your true ancestors way of life ...peacefull journey freind hope you find your way as well as all of you

[riteshsubedi123]

great spirit

[monoindian]

Very great song, I am 100% Native american. [Apache, Tachi Yokut & Mono] Bless out people and give us the strength

[Fishsticks187]

@monoindian I give you a thousand blessings and beg forgiveness for six hundred years of theft, rape and murder. I am white, and, though I cannot understand why my ancestors did such horrible things to a peaceful race, I only hope that something can be done to heal the rift between us.

[vincebeyale]

where your people died

[darkopaleyes]

So peaceful

[Mrfitrider1]

thats where the greedy thief americans sent the native americans?

[Otehnuzoi]

I'm a quarter Apache. I'm so happy I have native american in me because of the culture and the beautiful music like this.

[PeazyG420]

Fact: more than ten million native people inhabited America (North and South boundaries are meaningless) before the arrival of European settlers in the 1600's. European diseases killed over 90% of the Native American population which is why you don't see Native people everywhere in their own country. Sad story... glad I'm part of it.

[Mrfitrider1]

Europeans are assholes

they stole the land

[littleredcheeks]

I truly have enjoyed this...it is beautiful! I love anything about out real Americans. Native American music touches my heart. Keep playing my friend. I have two Native American Flutes and plan to won more. It's our true heritage.

[yefftom2]

Yá'át'ééh. Díí nizhóní... Diné bikéyahgóó déyá nisin!

[20074ever]

@yefftom2 Hi:) Could u please, for me, translate what u wrote? I know that yaateeh means hello and that dine is what the navajo people call themselves. I would really appreciate it:)

[yefftom2]

@20074ever

Hey :) Heres the translation for you:

díí nizhóní - this is nice / beautiful (díí - this, nizhóní - nice, beautiful)

diné bikéyahgóó déyá nisin - I want to go to Navajoland (diné - Navajo, bikéyah - his land, -góó - to, déyá - I go, nisin - I want)

[20074ever]

@yefftom2 wow you replied fast! thank you very very much:) How come u know the language?

[yefftom2]

@20074ever

I actually dont know the language well. But I am a linguist interested in Athabaskan languages (among other languages, of course) which is why Im studying Navajo at home.

Shí éí doo ya'át'ééhgo dinék'ehjí yáshti' da ndi diné bizaad shaghandi bíhoosh'aah. (I dont speak Navajo well but I study the Navajo language at home.)

[20074ever]

@yefftom2 I love languages too, but in this case I am interested in the native american civilisation in general:) The apache language is from the same language family as navajo right? The cherokee language seems more complicated with those symbols. But then again, it's other people that codified these languages, they were originally unwritten I think....So keep up the good work because mastering a language is an endless process:P

[yefftom2]

@20074ever

Apache and Navajo are even from the same group of languages (southern Athabaskan languages). Some dialects of Apache can be understandable for speakers of Navajo, at least in the written form. Cherokee is difficult to learn, but it is not considered as complicated as Navajo and Athabaskan languages in general. And EVERY language was originally unwritten :D Yes, its endless which is also why i love it so much :D

[20074ever]

@yefftom2 You seem to know your stuff:P

[b2bears1]

@20074ever The Cherokee written language has symbols for syllables thats why the symbols are called a syllabary not an alphabet. There are 83 symbols whereas English has 26. Cherokee is easier to learn than you think. I am Tsalagi (Cherokee) and I've taught many none natives the language.

[20074ever]

@b2bears1 The syllabary sounds interesting, thank you for the clarification:) Nevertheless, i don't think i'll ever get the chance to be taught any of the wonderful native american languages bcs i live far away....

[slyrez]

as white man right know even though i didnt do it i feel guilty of what we have done to the natives.

[dondecker100]

Your music is beautiful...how you got 56,000 is incredible to appear 1st in all categories,,,clever,,,I'll posting my video right on top of yours in a minute...since I figured out the formula..thanks for the tip.

[maryprelle]

Yes Native Americans ,,,or the original peoples before European invasion have to be apologized to and many things that were done to them were wrong. Had the european and spanish treated them better this well may have been a much better world. Wisdom and knowledge that they held and still hold dear is so important. Praying for these people to forgive the white man and possibly assist in returning all peoples to a place of balance and understanding of the natural world we live in. Peace.

[followyourheart111]

Gorgeous!!!!...a meditative piece....you have some serious talent with NAF....nice work...keep it coming lol.......

[CarlosMacMartin]

Arizona is God's Country! Listen to the heartbeat! Missing home for sure!

[Summerluver100]

i have so,mthing to say. i am native american(only a tiny mix of apache, mohawk, blackfoot and cherokee), i aks you my brothers, and sisters, what went wrong? what did we do to loose our wonderful land? i do not mind sharing my land with the white men, but they treat her wrong. this is our mothers land. we had peace with the white men. but why? i want to kno why? i am 13 years old, and i want to know why? i want to grow up, to pass stories to my children, but i dont understand, what went wrong.

[samalind]

@Summerluver100 I really don't know how to answer your question so that you can find a real reason to calm your soul. I only know that what happened in the past should do to not do the same mistakes again, we should learn, we should be a better mankind, and the only thing you can do is to be a good person and act with love, then you can never do wrong, and you will be a good example for all the people around you, your grandchildren will be proud. Blessings.

[chrisnasif]

@Summerluver100

you'll understand when you're older......trust me.

[lenasvn]

"Because dogs have more sense- woof!" -LOL, that made me giggle! Like the rytm of the flute and the drum, very nice.

Yá'át'ééh! Beautiful video and music! I used to live in Chinle when I was younger, this canyon holds many happy memories for me. It has a spiritual feeling to it that went perfectly with the music you chose.

[lemonyfresh55]

Arizona is a very beautiful place, it will change you forever. i went just three weeks ago. i miss it badly

[ckhafagiuk]

wonderful music and place, i will have to go before i die !!!

[SwineNahNah]

It wa some 15 years ago, I was walking home from school here in Riga, listened to radio through earphones, it was some programm about folk and native music, I didn't know what melody it was - flute and other instruments, it could as well be Latvian, pretty similar, maybe from some other Baltic or European state, but then suddenly i got an image - I was an eagle flying over mountains or canyon (we don't have such things here), then melody ended, and it turned out to be Native American music.

[yuccs62]

great music & fantastic scenery!

[AndreaCzech]

Flute and drums - excellent combination

[jantheempress]

Love the flute music!

[WyteDove]

from my spirit to your spirit and to the spirit of the ancestors~much respect to you now and always~PcE~

[onebrandofdemocracy]

Anyone seen Bigfoot in this area? I have couple of documented reports occurring within this canyon.

[preacain]

A music speaks a lot for the spirit of the people that produce it ! Sometimes music can cojure up images! For me this music is filled of wonder for the earth & Love of nature, respect for the mystery, and a humble pride thanking sll for the honoured gift of the conciousness to recognise and express! Preacain

[WyteDove]

[tutanee]

Beautifull! thank you, I must think about my apache friend who is passed away.....he was called Swifthawk, he was a beautifull man. and I miss him alot!!!!!!!

[mappoprimo]

this music is is spine tinglingy beautiful! You really get a feeling of sorrow and remorse when you think of all the greatness that's gone now. The freedom of the native Americans who were here first! Back in the day when the Apache roamed the plains that they could call THEIR OWN. It's haunting to think of, and this song brings it all to life... :)

[bcanna1111]
