[gknife]

@NdnBabiixDoll That's what it's all about!! =) The little ones that are looking up to us. Those young girls that aspire to sing and dance are the reason I sing a note or dance a step. God Bless you NdnBabiixDoll...and all others who have left a comment. Compliments are great to have, both negative and positive. Weed out the negative and keep the positive. =D

[southerdaughter11]

looks like she's TRYING A LIL TOOOO HARD!!! Ease up.. Take a breather.. LOL

[gknife]

@southerdaughter11 Thank you...I was singing very hard. This was my first back-up singing competition and I was very nervous. One of the singers of this drum passed away and him and his wife appreciated this song being sung in the honor of their family. I told him I was nervous and he said, "Just close your eyes and sing hard! Sing for the elders because that's what this song was made for. To honor our elders." =)

[JazzDrums29]

Love watching this video. Awesome singing.

[grrteller]

[pso1965]

[blkstrliner]

The sound of her voice completely rejuvenates me, although i have no idea of what life was like in pre european times, i am some how brought to those better days every time i listen to this song. Thank you so much for allowing us to experience this.

[UmonHon74LIFE]

This a Omaha memorial song called "Grandparent Spirits Song" in memory of Clyde Sheridan I and Lillian Sheridan. Way-nay like the singers are saying means "heal us".

[mcbillzin1]

anyone know that womans name ...thats a nice voice

[517renise]

This is beautiful...does anyone know what the english translation is for this song? And also how I can learn this language? My mom is Lakota and I would like to help her to re-learn it too. Thank you to anyone who can help me... <3

[devyl46]

@517renise They are not litteraly singing words a lot of songs are made up on the spot if it is not a contest pow wow but on the other hand you can learn the language through a tutor or just a website that shows the basics of the language the easiest one too look up is good for me but i dont know if you or your mother would want to learn ojibwe but just look your tribes language online you might be able to find a few results and if you have any other quesions message me

[screamobaby15]

@517renise there aint no translation just listen get used to the song and sing alone thats how i learn and now i can sing great but i'm sick right now so yea lol i am Oglala Lakota and i love to sing and the way i caught on to songs is by listening and start singing along getting used to it with my voice and wat pitch in my voice to where i'm used to it...!!! i hope that helps u...!!!

[buckville69]

[79SiouxWarrior19]

Ask a Child what is terrible, ask a Dog, Deer, Mountainlion, Bear or a Wolf...these forms of purity are uncorupted by death, distruction or hate. Like our Lakota language, culture, tradition un-Brainwashed by Capitalism, Imperialism, Or an Altered History from Movie's& Book's. & the animals also retain that purity ...of their own tongue, spirit, heart, soul, language.

[luminaz342]

WOW, IM IN LOVE ahhaa

[PanFascist85]

Beautiful =D

[OmahaChickk]

No hard feelings .. but i don't thnk it was all that great.. for singin southern anywayz.
