I first head this song from my Uncle's group The Four Winds. I am so glad to hear it on here. The past few years have been tough and kept me and my family from the gatherings. Yet I have to say I am so proud of you to have posted and shared these songs on here. Many blessings from the creator upon you.
This is beautiful. I'm not Native American, but chanting and drums in general I can definately relate to as a Finnish pagan who still practices shamanism. This type of spirituality is sacred, and even shared around the world in different original cultures...before Christianity, before conquering, before mixing. I wish nothing but blessings upon the true inhabitants of North America in their quest to keep their culture and spirit alive.
Native Pride. Also, about the whole % of blood thing... There are so very very very few "pure blood" Natives anymore is it really worth abandoning a culture of beautiful music, stories and art just because nobody is "pure blood" Native?
@KWEKOSHKUKI12 penobscot and maliseet... you talkin about spirit of the dawn? that was my uncle's drum and the group was traditional drum not powwow so dont hate. i dislike when other natives claim there tribe and start talking shit... you just made your own tribe look bad
Im Native American (Western Band of Cherokee Out of Arkansas to be exact) and some whites i know think we still live in longhouses and tipis. I just crack up at tht we live the best of both worlds we go to the movies and shop at wal-mart and go skiing and on vacations though we still retain our spirituality and pride and we keep it living through stories and songs.I am cherokee and proud to be
Even listening to this puts me in a trance. I'm mostly Native American (Apache) and I have yet to visit. I would absolutely love to partake in a drum circle and or dance.
love it couse im a indean just love it i like i think its twinkel little star i just love alot eaven at powwows some you gise play powowws i want to go on powowws ilove native cultures alot
love it couse im a indean just love it i like i think its twinkel little star i just love alot eaven at powwows some you gise play powowws i want to go on powowws
if yall like this u need to listen to southern man by harmony nights and im only 9 parts cherokee but im still on a drum and dance team doing this stuff all day long if u like it u dont have to be a 100% native American to go to pow-wows look it up u will be surprised how many happen in ure area all the time
great song. I wrote my own song called Native American Ballad and drew on heavy influences from this style of music, although I made it more rock/modern based. I hope it allows for the same peaceful reflection as this video! Enjoy
Blimey, I didn't know life on reservation was like that. Two friends of mine visited one while backpacking around the US and they said it was a fantastic experience.
Thanks for the input Etimos and JocelynBridgetAnne.
@kreepykrawlie According to most Americans, you dont need to be Native American to be Native American. Just take a small believable fraction of your ancestry and lie.
@PopTheGlock423 ....actually there were hundreds of accounts of whites who were captured by Native peoples in raids and underwent extensive adoption ceremonies such as running the gauntlet, having the white sanded from their flesh in the river, then being ceremoniously decorated, dressed, and fed. There were "white" Indians such as: Jonathon Alder (Seneca), Billy Caldwell-aka Sauganash (white/Mohawk), Stephen Ruddell-aka Big Fish (Shawnee), and of course the famed Blue Jacket (Shawnee).
@PopTheGlock423 FYI check your blood line you might be shocked and just cuz your not full blooded don't mean a thing it's in your heart not your blood
@PopTheGlock423 Oh my non-existent God Do you realize how ridiculous you sound??? "I wish I was a Native American?" ITS NOT ALL SITTING AROUND IN TEEPEES DRUMMING AND SAYING "PROFOUND WISDOM" TO EVERY SUBURBAN MOM WHO HAPPENS TO DRIVE BY LOOKING FOR PSUDO-SPIRITUALIST IDENTITY. I am from USA so I guess that means I am a Native American as well? stop looking for some validation of your confused cultural nonsense and GET REAL
@Julyfaction god ur such an ass the native american culture is more than that true but rlly? y'd u have to such an ass saying it and the teachings are there for those who WANT to learn it and can prove thier worthy of it (Spirit Quests) as for ur USA statement check ur bloodline every ""Americana" has a bloodline connected to Native Blood get ur facts straight and stop beating ppl up bc they wish they were native u don't have to be full blooded or half to appreciate it anyhow
@Julyfaction im sick of people calling us native americans i think we should start calling white people euro americans cause thats where yall came from before they stole our land
I love this kind of music. I'm 1/8th native myself, though unfortunately I dont know what group. I dont know much about my father's side of the family, but they're from eastern Canada. Anyway, this music is hard to find, though, because of all the retarded New-Age crap. You type in "Native American Music" and you get bullshit 'native american' new age tripe wrapped in the biggest, ugliest, most desperately for-the-money quotation marks the world has ever seen.
@Etimos Eastern Canadian....most likely the Indian in your fam is Cree, Algonquin or Mohawk. My family is from Quebec and their Algonquin/French. But I live in Toronto and there are mostly Mohawks round here. However at the top of Ontario there are many many Cree rezs so your best bet are these three. You could look around your family ancestry if you're curious enough, I'm sure you could find it somewhere.
@Etimos I totally agree! My great-great grandma was half Cree (Winnipeg) and adopted by her father's brother and wife and brought over to the UK. I am so damn proud to have even a little Native American blood in my veins, so damn proud. One day I hope to visit a reservation.
@Elvinauk Eh. I'm glad you're proud, it's definitely a neat thing to share blood with these people, but I wouldnt wish too hard to visit a reservation :( Most of them are rather dismal and horrible places. I live in an area where there are several reservations within a few hours drive, and people here avoid all of them unless they live there. The people who live on the reservations are very different from the people who lived on the plains. They dont know what to do with themselves.
@Elvinauk im surprised to hear someone hoping to visit a reservation whenso many of us are dying to get out. well in my rez. i love that im a native american but its sad to see so many of us go down the wrong path. like gambling, drinking, drugs, stealing. i can't wait to leave. im just happy i can take my culture with me when i do
These videos are the best Native American music I can find on youtube, I can't stand all that watered down-flutes-snyth-new age sh**, I want to hear the pounding drums and tribal chanting and here it is. Thanks so much for these wonderful vids.
@TenaceousT glad you enjoyed, this is my uncles drum and i agree there are alot of fakes that try to sing this song and a few others and i just want to kick over there drum when i see it... but i have more respect then that. Oh a big part of that is S.C. Francis who use to do buisness with my uncle and dad ripped of our cd and sold it to a bunch of wanna b's
I went to a reservation with my church to help out thr community(Im not religious I just love to help people out)And I learned so muck about the people there they thanked us and one night preformed a drumming and dance and it was the greatest experiences I have ever had.I have very little native american heritage Im more German then any thing.I went to go watch over the children and at two they where playing with a drum chanting and it brought a smile to my face.
@KWEKOSHKUKI12 So I herd you liek trollin', sir? (I mispelled it on purpose)
I hope you know that you've just wasted a few precious moments writing a negative comment when you could have simply ignored the video and not looked. Sweet and simple, "Don't like it, don't look."
@twistazoomalark really, i hate it when Natives singing on the beat of the drum much like this. Us Natives here in the plains on westward here by do not singing on the freaking beat. check out northern cree. compare them to these dudes.
@KWEKOSHKUKI12 Everyone is different, however. I just ask for a little more respect is all. I don't mean any offence to you, but I just found it a little rude.
Hey really because Im Maliseet and im part of a drum group and well im a girl and we do use hand drums but any way The drum group is called Four Winds one of the members died this week yee im sorry I didnt mean to say all that but where are u from sorry again I do that a lot sorry again
@KWEKOSHKUKI12 maybe we drummed like that because we wanted it to sound like that because thats how our people dance to it... A real dancer can dance to any beat by the way no matter if its on or off
@rezryda207 I have to jam out to something rocks my bells and makes me feathers dance...this would make my bells come off my ankles and my feathers fall on the ground....
@AndreaCzech man you need to be apropiate . you are so fucking gross thats not anything yu shoud say over the internet. thats fuckin nasty as hell! no hate. ~all respect to you~
@monica7645 Hi, I meant, that the way of singing is very remarkable and beautifull. I love it. I didn´t want do be nasty. I didn´t know, that the word "sexy" is vulgar. So Sorry.
i loved this song as a kid and i would fall asleep listening we should keep our heads up high because there is absolutely nothing wrong with being native
i have had the same thought! ive felt the drums all of my life but i play guitar. i found a small hand drum at my friends house and was playing around with it, until the rythmn just took over. I know i have been a tribesman before
even though I can't understand anything they are saying I love it. Native music is so powerful, and i love how they are so connected to the earth and everything. THis is my FAVORITE kind of music :) Love it love it love it (L)
Soooo glad I found this song! I just heard it played during halftime of a basketball game for the graduating seniors, and thought it was AMAZING! The way the guy played the drum was awesome. If it would have been me, I probably would have hit the person next to me and knocked them out,,,,lol
....so what did you tell them you were mexican lol, i live beside delaware nation reserve, natives hear are proud of who they are....mind you most of them are obese, diabetic and have lost all ties to there real culture but none the less theyre prepared to swallow the government bullshit that fabricates there history and tells them who they are
we sing along to this in a middle class suberb in the uk.. people must think were wierd, but its the only thing letting us experience more than this buttoned down western mono-culture that is force fed us daily . things like this must be shared as much as possible for a creation of a new multifaceted culture with its roots much deeper than our current once.
@wabiseet no it wasnt!! this song was written by larry robichuad back in the 80's and the hot- cha was somthing my uncle incorporated intothe song... you fuckerz stole it as with the rest of the wanna b's and took the chainsaw to it and hacked right up
lol this is my nation. I'm penobscot. i understand a little of it. my favorite dance though is the mosquito dance. My friend and i were dancing to it at this wabanaki
7th grade thing and we did it AWESOMELY!!! cept when we kicked each others feet. lol.
xD I hate it when I kick people dancing! Our Powwow space is very small though, so we have to limit the number of dancers until its warmer to go outside. Rock on though! Don't stop dancin! :o
Maybe it's different to live in a "white" world and keep the "red" way to live. But the native indians should be proud to be indians and keep the head up high. Re-learn your tongue, your culture and all the other things your elder people could teach you. If it's lost, it's lost forever ! Fight for your right to keep your culture alive!
@morghaine You know nothing about the enviroment or how life operate's. Your still livng in the dream made for you as a child. And so your mind will always remain as a child. Your ideals are that of a child. You know nothing about right and wrong, because if u did you would understand they dont exist. When you begin to realize the world you see is all inside your head, i wont need to remove it and the right time.
Only a handful of schools off the rez teach you how to speak your native tongue, My school did offer it and many other schools are starting to open doors to teaching Saalish in school. Tribal rights should be a right now a thing we need to fight for. America has its own rights and governing but what about us?
many native american languages customs an cultures are gone thanks to us europeans.. but hold on to what yous have left .because ... an i no your government dont care but have hope ..tiocfaidh ar lá our day will come.. ps i love our cultures theres somthing about your music aswell i get shivers downmy spine
@Irishfianna im not sure they will because the government want the american culture to stay american and they want it to be the way they think they should and i agree with you and i think its funny cuz im only 13 but i know a lot about our culture and there is not just this either because there is something called peyote drumming lok it up if u dont know wat it is,and lemme explain that to you a long time ago there was i think a shaman that saw a vision of white people coming across the ocean
@Irishfianna and a group went west to keep the culture alive and that peyote is starting to come back to the eastern and im only 13 as i said but i have gone to peyote cermeonies they help you a lot and people think thet peyote is just something to get buzzed on or something like that. but thats not true they just say that because they are scared of our culture and dont want it to spread and they say it is a bad thing
I first head this song from my Uncle's group The Four Winds. I am so glad to hear it on here. The past few years have been tough and kept me and my family from the gatherings.

we sing along to this in a middle class suberb in the uk.. people must think were wierd, but its the only thing letting us experience more than this buttoned down western mono-culture that is force fed us daily . things like this must be shared as much as possible for a creation of a new multifaceted culture with its roots much deeper than our current once.
peace. love.

xD I hate it when I kick people dancing! Our Powwow space is very small though, so we have to limit the number of dancers until its warmer to go outside. Rock on though! Don't stop dancin! :o

Maybe it's different to live in a "white" world and keep the "red" way to live. But the native indians should be proud to be indians and keep the head up high. Re-learn your tongue, your culture and all the other things your elder people could teach you. If it's lost, it's lost forever ! Fight for your right to keep your culture alive!

@morghaine You know nothing about the enviroment or how life operate's. Your still livng in the dream made for you as a child. And so your mind will always remain as a child. Your ideals are that of a child. You know nothing about right and wrong, because if u did you would understand they dont exist. When you begin to realize the world you see is all inside your head, i wont need to remove it and the right time.

i love naive american culture an ... the american goverment should promote your languages an cultures

Only a handful of schools off the rez teach you how to speak your native tongue, My school did offer it and many other schools are starting to open doors to teaching Saalish in school. Tribal rights should be a right now a thing we need to fight for. America has its own rights and governing but what about us?
MelissaTicky 2 years ago
many native american languages customs an cultures are gone thanks to us europeans.. but hold on to what yous have left .because ... an i no your government dont care but have hope ..tiocfaidh ar lá our day will come.. ps i love our cultures theres somthing about your music aswell i get shivers downmy spine

Likewise...

@Irishfianna We have tribal schools and even in non native schools you can take classes... but it should be promoted better and with better funding.

@Irishfianna im not sure they will because the government want the american culture to stay american and they want it to be the way they think they should and i agree with you and i think its funny cuz im only 13 but i know a lot about our culture and there is not just this either because there is something called peyote drumming lok it up if u dont know wat it is,and lemme explain that to you a long time ago there was i think a shaman that saw a vision of white people coming across the ocean
savagefam2009 7 months ago
@Irishfianna and a group went west to keep the culture alive and that peyote is starting to come back to the eastern and im only 13 as i said but i have gone to peyote cermeonies they help you a lot and people think thet peyote is just something to get buzzed on or something like that. but thats not true they just say that because they are scared of our culture and dont want it to spread and they say it is a bad thing
