I am Sylvester Florenz Bold Warrior of the Ponca Blood Clan and the Heythoshkah Wanaxeh. nobody has the right to speak on my own, or our right. whoever this coward is claiming my name and our right SHOW YOURSELF. i promise you i will deal with you. show yow yourself, fucking coward!
I miss going to the pow-wows when I was a little girl. This is beautiful, I want to learn to sing Ponca songs. My name is Inshta- Theumba. (Bright Eyes), and I am Ponca form the Northern tribe
ok heres the story, sylvester warrior had made this song BUT the words you hear in this song were put in this song by harry buffalohead, now according to harry B. "sylvester came to me asking me to put words in this song for him, he just left me with the tune," now you all know the true story. the peaople singing this arnt saying the words right, but good try, THIS IS A PONCA SONG. composed by sylvester warrior and harry buffalohead..my name is thunder lieb and i am gonna be a great ponca singer
i crack up everytime i listen to this, this is Eddy Clark, u should delete this, not my post but the song and ur crazy stories about "sitting bear". WTH did he say at 0:11. did they say...nvrmind..imma just sit here and crack up...hahahahhahahaahha, thats not even a half-assed attempt
Really like this song..we're an inter-tribal drum in Alaska..would like permission to do this song and also to get vocables for the song..can anyone help on this??
Archaeology. you cats must take control of the archaeological digs on youre lands(that includes traditional non rez lands!), like this dude does on his lands!>>>>(Part 1 - Angel Street Excavation in Manchester by Oxford Archaeology North - 10/10/09) ..................ps: everytime i see a video of a Native archaeological site, its always white folks runnin the show and handling youre ancestors stuff!
I appreciate the effort dan1991DE but maybe you should have used an actual Kiowa tune. Its a great tune but the melody sounds too simply for a Ponca tune. Maybe its one of those Ponca "throat clearing" tunes. Good job though.
This song is about the ponca young men coming home from vietnam. This was made by Sylvester Warrior after he was approached by a woman who handed him a folded flag and told him that that was all she had left of her son who went and fought in 'nam. This event is signifigant because it was the first time in a generation that that there was a war that the tribes helped in. Translation," Men of the Hethuska, look upon these young men. They are warriors." This is what I understand to be right correct
@cuthak my grandfather Sylvester had nothing to do with this inferior song. we speak our languange - these morons obvioulsy cannot. the "Ponca" composers could not put together a decent story-line for a song; secondly, they need to learn to hit the drum correctly. i am Sylvester Bold Warrior and this kind of atrocity is shameful. i appreciate you putting this on the internet - but you know - there's always assholes like me! cheers
very few poncas know about there culture and past on our tribal insignia the three teepees are for when poncas made camp those three would be on high ground so they could watch for the enemy
Satanka had balls!! as the soldiers took him in on the buckboard, he was under his blanket and chewed the skin off his hands to get the cuffs off! then he grabbed a rifle and zapped a cavalry dude, but then he got hit. they left him beside the road. thats all i know. i hope someone found him.
@acerb45666555 Sitting Bear had slowly become demented over the death of his only son who he himself had encouraged to charge the enemy. He carried his guilt his son's bones around whereever he went. When he, Satanta, & Ado-ate were brought out of the Ft. Sill dungeon onto the 4 ft high porch with their ankles & wrists maniculed. The old warrior was going to launch himself onto the buffalo soldiers but Satanta & Ado-ate knowing that he was going to do this grabbed him and restrained him.
@hueco52 ..... the wagon story must be true. the only way is to find out if Satank died in 1872 or 1873. because Satanta died in 1872! jumping from the jail window. if Satank die in 1873, then its impossible for Satanta to have been there that day with Atope to stop Satank!
@acerb45666555 Yes, I do know my own tribe's history. After the Palo Duro Canyon Battle on Sept. 28, 1874 Satanta was recaptured and sent back to Huntsville Prison in TX. The whiteman says he committed suicide but his descendants feel his supposed leap from the building was assisted. In other words, he may have been the victim of a governmental conspiracy. Satanta died on Oct. 11, 1868. Satank was killed on June 8, 1971. And phonetically it is pronounced "A-Doe-Ate" not "Atope".
The melody is certainly the right notes, and the words are Ponca, but the beat is all incorrect. Sounds like someone tried to learn this song and could not get the beat, so they invented a way to sing it with their own beat. Sounds like the group from the Houston area that sings their songs the same way, WRONG!
@NativeSeigy49 I remember the story of the Ponca lady upon hearing their family song being sung for a Osage lady got up and threw her shawl in the Osage lady's face. The Osage lady grabbed the shawl and followed the Ponca lady and threw her shawl back in her face. The Ponca lady followed the Osage lady, etc. etc.
The Kiowa culture is constantly being plagarized also. All we can do is preserve the stories and oral traditions attached to aspects of our culture. At least they can't copy that.
When I was a teenager I had the opportunity to go to Marland and Ponca City, Ok. The Ponca are very beautiful people. They treated me a Puerto Rican/Cherokee as I was one of their own. My moms half sister was Ponca and Cherokee and decided to live in Marland instead on Cherokee Land. I hope to visit again one of these days.
Yes, this is indeed a Ponca song, one of two composed by the late Sylvester Warrior to honor the returning veterans of Vietnam. And, you should learn it correctly before you sing it please.
beautiful imagery, and I do love the song;I would love to hear and more, I am part-blood (ponca)and I am doing some art and music research of the ponca/omaha tribes.
It is an Omaha veterans song. On a side note, the Kiowa do sing this song as an O-HO-MAH Lodge song sung without words. The Kiowa song is sung exactly like this except only with vocables. The Omaha words are saying Look! The Dancers, they are making dance (not an exact translation). Nice video.
I am doing some research on Ponca native art and history. I am part blood (Ponca-Omaha)I am interested in whatever knowledge you have on the subject matter, thank you Lempt-Lempt.

A good attempt at rendering the particular Ponca song, however, three (3) out of the four (4) words in the song are incorrectly pronounced.
