Peyote healing.. fill my spirit with all i need on my spirit journy.i walk with the Wolf and Bear, the hawk and the eagle fly abow me. let the demons of the past vanish and become experince and wisdom. let my broken legs heal so i can walk in the forrest and mountains again. stop the fire pain in my feet and heal my wounds. i am a simple man who need to come out so i can walk amongst all living things. feels like am going to suffocate. please grant me 5 more years with mother earths children
i cry when i here this. so much sadness in our culture!! our young are imitating stuff they see on tv. i am teaching my young ones the way of the pipe. also how to make a good bow and spear. not a fancy for sale one but one that will put food on the table. makes me sad that not much of that is happenin these days. we will one day have to revert to the old days. after all, all great empires (USA) fall.
I was told as a child, I had native American heritage. Im sure now, it was from my fathers side. All my life (62 now) i have wanted to fell this was true. Only as of lately have I felt the powerful pull of this tiny drop of my ancestors to my emotions. I can say that I only just see and feel a flash of what is a life for so many of you who are whole.
My Great Great grandfather was a buffalo hunter, my Great Grandfather Was A hunter, My Grandfather was A Victim Of Residential schools but a hunter, My Father Was Also A Victim Of Residential schools and NOT a hunter, And now Im a Full blown City Child Raised by the White mans Hands See how fast our Nation Has Changed?
we went from living off the land to fighting for it we never had oil sands now its contaminating my province of alberta the whole world wants our land what did we ever need oil for back in the day my poor province is to blame for global warming
when will we as native americans be free from all this evil the white settlers brought to us and now we have to share the land with other races immigrating to canada and u.s what did we do to deserve this now we have to carry this hevy burden on our shoulderss
Love this song... the whole Red Road Ensemble album.. I taught myself this song and have sung it during ceremony.. I sing and listen to it when I need to calm down and find peace within my own spirit.
Very beautiful - sooo fine .... I would love to sing this song with my friends & am having trouble matching what I hear with the written lyrics. Would it be possible to add a sonic breakdown of the original chant showing pronunciation & phrasing intervals - as if for a child (like me) to understand ? Big thanks !
whoever the f*** disliked this is souless. I'm white, but I have nothing but the upmost respect for The American Indians and their cultures. It makes me sick when i hear about what was done to them all those years ago.
This sacred song is sung by Primeaux and Mike! It is so deep on many levels and is very special to my family and people of the Native American Church. The Primeaux family are my cousins. Thank you for playing this song that touches people spiritually all over the world! Wopida Tonka! Mitakuye O'yasin!
How come the lyrics don't sound like anything that is said? Is this language transcribed into English that poorly? I.e. is it not phonetic at all?
What about the part in the song that goes, "Way cho nay yay yay, wey cho nay yay, way cho nay cho kon key alone oh mo watch ee yay oh ee.." I have a hard time hearing the sounds at the end of that phrase. Anyone know if they are words? Or just sounds? Around 2:31 there's also "oh shay man a yo" stuff...
And the sad reality is the NAC isn't covered by the same 1st Amendment as the rest of us. We can practice our religion however we so chose, but the NAC can't; because peyote is catagorized as a drug. If this is the case, alcohol is also a drug and shouldn't it be banned from communion? After all in all 50 states you must be 21 to drink and wine is served to kids who are taking communion, but we turn a blind eye to that.
FREEDOM OF RELIGION SHOULD BE A BASIC HUMAN RIGHT, NOT A LUXURY.
Everybody please note this song is by Primeaux & Mike! These artists have made lots of recordings together. No one can match their unmistakable harmonies and energy. I don't know why it's credited to Robbie Robertson here - he just added a little twanging electric guitar and included it on one of his own fine albums. But this song - the lyrics and arrangement - are quintessential Primeaux & Mike. Check them out!

Miss Wakin Up So Early Before The Sun Rises And Listening To What Makes Life Seem Worth Living And Fighting The Bad Things We Go Thru And Being Thankful Each And Every Day How Strong We Are. I Love Soothing Music Like This. I Am Proud To Be Native American And Honors To The Ones Who Are Staying Strong In Life And Living To The Fullest.
@kkeshom Please note this was written by Primeaux & Mike, not by R. Robertson. Mr. Robertson added some twanging electric guitar and included it on one of his albums, but the song - words and arrangement - are Primeaux & Mike! Look them up - they have a lot of music recorded.
I love this song. It give me such a huge feeling of pride --living along the Wounded Knee Creek...I will never ever get tired of this beautiful song. Thank you SO much for making this and posting it here. Wopila Tanka Iciciyaye!
If you cannot get a hold of Peyote, there are legal Cacti out there that provide the same benefit as Grandfather. Mescalito is a medicine all the same, i recommened Bridgesii cacti, the spirit is always there. Just remember to respect as a medicine.
This song brings happiness to my Chante meaning Heart... When i close my eyes,i see my ancestors.Pain and suffering.I know now,my culture and traditional ways are almost gone...Alot of my elders that know the ways are all gone.. I know genocide is alive well today...and it brings pain to me and my people...I know us younger generation have to come as a nation... And bring the tradition back to my people... As a little girl i seen alot,therefore i know alot... Wicahpi_women
so sad, and Unfair are our history books...they teach us such a biased, incomplete story of what we did to the Indian people...I am an eighth Navajo...I hear no complaints from our Indian ancestors, about the way they were treated...My hope, is that these atrocities will be better known, and thus, never repeated by anyone, To anyone...
@TMKchld I am 21 years old now and I was adopted at 5 days old. Since I was young something in my spirit and heart told me I had strong Native American blood in me. Now as I ask my birth father I find several tribes blood in my bloodline. Cherokee being one of them. I hope to learn more, for I strive to learn healing and I have a knowledge of herbal medicine as well as a great love and respect for Mother nature. I just wish I had others around me.
I too am a native american, During these hard times in our lands today, we still are learning from our elders pass and present. I pray for our children because they are our future, in their hands will pass the future of the Indian nations. Hear our prayer Great Spirit, and hear the prayers from the Indian Nations.
The language is the key to the spirit it says so much without speaking a word. May Creator look over us all and bring the hoop into this generation holding us all
I found myself unable to leave my seat at the end of "Thunderheart" years ago. This prayer to the Maker affects me the same way. I am a white, but my heart remembers. Thank you Verdell Primeaux and Jonny Mike. Thank you Robbie Robertson. All who are lead here should also seek out David Morehouse's work. Remote viewer who walks with the spirit of the Bear.
I am not even from your continent but....... that music......those words.....they moved me so much. Thank you for your song......I will sing it on another continent. I am humbled and lifted by your song.
@xbluemystx8686 The reason I said I would just give it is because its bad luck to buy or sell it. And I want everyone to try it. A trustable source to ask where to get some would be the peyote church of god. Shoot em an email and ask them.
@xbluemystx8686 You know what I wouldent trust some guy I talk to on the internet either so maybe you could find a native american church that is aware of this bad luck. If you say youll donate some money to them in return for some peyote. Thats not really buying it. But either way if you do just go on to azarius or everyonedoesit and buy it, pray to Jesus for good luck, I'm sure he will understand:) Or I could just send ya some, but it may be hard for me to get it out of Alabama.
@jahstp "Born Jamie Robbie Robertson on July 5, 1943 in Toronto, Canada to an Anglo father and Native American mother from the Mohawk tribe, Robertson was taught to play the guitar by relatives living on the Six Nations Indian Reservation where his mother was raised, outside Toronto."
Thank you for posting a beautiful video for posting this sacred song, especially for posting it sung in Lakota... Sigh* Saved it immediately to favorites !
thank you , pilunyapelo, i think of these words when i drive by wounded knee every day and a slow anger and hatred builds in my soul when i think of the children dying there.
Sometimes to takes many tears to right what has been wrong. Wipe your eyes and stand. Let the hand of the wind caress you as the Elders pass by ... across the sacred ground you now stand on. Bless your life, the gift you are given and, bless yourself. Heal your heart ... let us walk together into a new day.
@lakotabob These are very wise and kind words brother. I have only a little native blood in me from a great great grandfather but in my heart and soul I am a big part of him. It is time to repair and to repay for what the whites done. We should start by helping the people on some of the worst reserves to rebuild and give hope to the children.
@nightrider836 "repay for what the whites done"... I don't have the words to describe what that made me feel, but it was wrong. What happened was so horrific & so tragic there is no way it can ever be made right. When I really allow myself to think about what the whites have done to not only the NA but the African Americans as well, it makes me ashamed to be part of the whites descendants, even if I have NA & AA blood in my veins.
@nightrider836 - (cont.) But even though I AM white, I don't feel I need to "repay" or that I owe anyone for anything other than my feelings of sorrow and guilt seeing as I had nothing to do with what happened to either ethnic group. All I can do is make sure I life my life in a way that is totally opposite of what my ancestors did, and be supportive and understanding and compassionate to my brothers and sisters of both Native American AND the African American.
@chrysbarnette26 I agree. The past is the past, and no matter what anyone does, it will always remain the same. The best way to live is not to dwell too much on past deeds, especially if they aren't your fault. Instead, you're right, learn from the mistakes that were made and don't repeat them. Blood doesn't matter, really. I'm of purely European decent, but I live by morals I set for myself, not by what my race has been known to do. It's all anyone can do, really.
@lakotabob I'm english,but have always felt an infinity with native americans,When I was 4 I remember watching a hideous country and western movie,and even through my naivity I was always for the native american.May your people find peace,and my ours learn something from it.
Just loved this album when I got it about ten years back, but I lost everything later, miss my music the most... soooo nice to hear it again.. it is truely healing music thanks for posting it and peace to you Gewajega
Mazaymni, thnx so much for the words, and the translation. I've been drawn to this, since the first time I heard it. I started singing along on just what I heard. Now I know what to sing...and what I am singing. The most beautiful prayer, ever.
natives beleived in the creator for ever , we are as jesas was, and will allways be will god , we just had different names for that being and were punished for it.
Very beautifully explained thank you. I've read this article where this guy is saying that the sun is kinetic and not thermal which means the sun itself is really a dark and cold place but rather a reactor and we have the light here but the sun basically reacts to the earth and therefore we have light and warmth but the true light is within us. Not sure if this is true but its an interesting concept.
Thank you very much for this. It reached me when I needed it. Thank you, mezayamni and beautifulwalk for your translations. NagiOlowan, I will be praying for you when I greet the dawn in Labrador when the air is very clear and the land is strong and fresh. I will be praying for you too, nativehealing, that you can quite. This song makes me believe my prayers could help.
@mazayamni ...pilamaya olowan....could you send me the rest of the words,like to bring it in the sweat lodge for a healing song to help others.....my email is bobjury7@yahoo.com if you could please.......aho mitakuye oyasin........whiteeagle jury
Greetings! I find this song one of the most beautiful I have ever heard...I am Algonquin but my grandson's godfather is of a well known Lakota family and I am deeply tied to that family and their culture. I am currently fighting breast cancer with the help of this family- and I listen to this song every day. I love and respect the lakota language- and would like to get ALL the lyrics and their meaning- even better- also the in the woman's way of speaking-can anyone help?
the song starts by asking the creater in the sky (ate wakantaka) to watch over us and then the grand mother to watch over us (unshi) to ahve pity over us becuase we are only human (unsha malya) it tells out reletives we are comming and to guide the way for us.. hope that helps
These healing songs from native american indians is to me similiar to gregorian chants like that from St Thomas Aquinas Pange lingua and other old catholic chants.They are all very beautiful and have a deep spiritual connection with our creator whatever our religious beliefs are
Long time ago, I read a passage in a book written by a young shaman. She had a vision of the future. When she came back from her vision and told her elder what she had seen. She said that the native nation would rise again, but this time it would be everyone, all races. Not being native american, but a learning shaman none the less, I can't even sing this song! The emotion is so strong I have to stop, but it's beautiful, not painful. From the top to the bottom of my heart, I know she is right.
Peyote healing.. fill my spirit with all i need on my spirit journy.i walk with the Wolf and Bear, the hawk and the eagle fly abow me. let the demons of the past vanish and become experince and wisdom. let my broken legs heal so i can walk in the forrest and mountains again. stop the fire pain in my feet and heal my wounds. i am a simple man who need to come out so i can walk amongst all living things. feels like am going to suffocate. please grant me 5 more years with mother earths children

Sometimes to takes many tears to right what has been wrong. Wipe your eyes and stand. Let the hand of the wind caress you as the Elders pass by ... across the sacred ground you now stand on. Bless your life, the gift you are given and, bless yourself. Heal your heart ... let us walk together into a new day.

@lakotabob These are very wise and kind words brother. I have only a little native blood in me from a great great grandfather but in my heart and soul I am a big part of him. It is time to repair and to repay for what the whites done. We should start by helping the people on some of the worst reserves to rebuild and give hope to the children.
nightrider836 1 year ago
@nightrider836 "repay for what the whites done"... I don't have the words to describe what that made me feel, but it was wrong. What happened was so horrific & so tragic there is no way it can ever be made right. When I really allow myself to think about what the whites have done to not only the NA but the African Americans as well, it makes me ashamed to be part of the whites descendants, even if I have NA & AA blood in my veins.
chrysbarnette26 1 year ago
@nightrider836 - (cont.) But even though I AM white, I don't feel I need to "repay" or that I owe anyone for anything other than my feelings of sorrow and guilt seeing as I had nothing to do with what happened to either ethnic group. All I can do is make sure I life my life in a way that is totally opposite of what my ancestors did, and be supportive and understanding and compassionate to my brothers and sisters of both Native American AND the African American.
chrysbarnette26 1 year ago 6
@chrysbarnette26 I agree. The past is the past, and no matter what anyone does, it will always remain the same. The best way to live is not to dwell too much on past deeds, especially if they aren't your fault. Instead, you're right, learn from the mistakes that were made and don't repeat them. Blood doesn't matter, really. I'm of purely European decent, but I live by morals I set for myself, not by what my race has been known to do. It's all anyone can do, really.

What does the sun behind the man mean??

TheSurferRosa 2 years ago
The sun behind the indian is a symbol of enlightenment, which means the man has united with the sun whereby the sun sits on the head of man forever.
When this truth is real everyone can see the sun with their own eyes, for there is truly LIGHT EVERYWHERE.
TheSurferRosa 2 years ago 3
Very beautifully explained thank you. I've read this article where this guy is saying that the sun is kinetic and not thermal which means the sun itself is really a dark and cold place but rather a reactor and we have the light here but the sun basically reacts to the earth and therefore we have light and warmth but the true light is within us. Not sure if this is true but its an interesting concept.

Greetings! I find this song one of the most beautiful I have ever heard...I am Algonquin but my grandson's godfather is of a well known Lakota family and I am deeply tied to that family and their culture. I am currently fighting breast cancer with the help of this family- and I listen to this song every day. I love and respect the lakota language- and would like to get ALL the lyrics and their meaning- even better- also the in the woman's way of speaking-can anyone help?
NagiOlowan 2 years ago 6
the song starts by asking the creater in the sky (ate wakantaka) to watch over us and then the grand mother to watch over us (unshi) to ahve pity over us becuase we are only human (unsha malya) it tells out reletives we are comming and to guide the way for us.. hope that helps

These healing songs from native american indians is to me similiar to gregorian chants like that from St Thomas Aquinas Pange lingua and other old catholic chants.They are all very beautiful and have a deep spiritual connection with our creator whatever our religious beliefs are

Long time ago, I read a passage in a book written by a young shaman. She had a vision of the future. When she came back from her vision and told her elder what she had seen. She said that the native nation would rise again, but this time it would be everyone, all races. Not being native american, but a learning shaman none the less, I can't even sing this song! The emotion is so strong I have to stop, but it's beautiful, not painful. From the top to the bottom of my heart, I know she is right.
