Beautiful effort. A beautiful tribute to past ancestors and honoring indigenous culture, language and heritage.

I absolutely don't know what I would do without people like this keeping the ancient sacred sciences alive and well through emotional expression through chant and song,Not to mention what a beautiful culture Native Americans are

Child of Water and videos like it will help all indigenous work against those who brought genocide to their land and sold their children into slavery.

[tsoinspired]

the words are in Dine' (navajo), western dialect, and are about recognizing that she is a child of water and honors water and its qualities.

[tabaaha92]

ok, so "biyazhi ei nishli' means "i am the child of.."... like when she says "nahasdzaanii ei nishli', she says " i am a child of the earth (nahasdzaan)" and then the rest of the song talks about other things related to water that she is born of.

[tabaaha92]

woops, i meant  "nahasdzaanii ei biyazhi nishli" haha, my bad...

[biihbitohni1]

it's okay, we can't read it anyways...

[STiELzephyr]

thank you very much for the translation , i aslo am a child of water and this is why i ressonated with your beutifull song.

it might interest you to search for 'emoto masaru' who has studied the effects of human praying and intetion on water showing that it will actualy respond differently to different stimulus , if classical music is played to the water it forms more perfect crystals when frozen than when heavy metal, the shouty kind is played for the water .

[mbenall3]

I would like to say something,, hahah. sounds like she saying by yee' zhee nishli. HAHAHHAHHAHHAHAHHAH

[systemaddictshock]
