[zero0zero99]

Thank you from Wolfy :-)

[GuemesBill1]

I gotta say, This song is the very best....I have loved this song since I was a little boy and waited every Christmas just to hear it once again. And to be sung by a Native Woman in Oneida language : ] Thank you Jana, your voice and heart blend well in your work, you must be a very giving person. Merry Christmas

[GuemesBill1]

What a beautiful voice, Thank you for this song in Arapaho. I went to school many years ago at the Cheyenne/Arapaho in Oklahoma. Jana you are very gifted : ] Hyshka Siam

[1931zneas]

What language is this??

[AriaInTheSky]

@1931zneas Oneida. It's on the title.

[1931zneas]

@AriaInTheSky Sorry I didn't know that was a language.

[TaMiSab]

@1931zneas Yes, we native people have had our own languages for thousands of years before the white men showed up here. Did you think we only knew sign language?

[GuemesBill1]

@1931zneas It's a Tribe and they speak and sing in their language, what did you think they spoke?

[cheungal88]

[hmullike]

[HojoOSanagi]

@hmullike

Oneida is a Haudenoshaunee language from upper state New York and Ontario.

[gatorbait51]

American Indians were called by thefirst Spaniards,, In Dios, roughly Children of God. . Columbus et al, knew they weren't in India . Anyway, she has the voice from the Heavens ..

[AboriginalSoul]

I agree iotekhaneokwire. it does sound more beautiful than the english version. and why should an indigenous person change for others. they never changed for us

[iotekhaneokwire]

Jana...dont ever sing it in English. Onkwehonwehnéha is more beautiful than english

[NamePlease101]

wow

o.o

[aaa333ify]

She has such a lovely voice!

What languageis this? Its beauitful!

[CrazyBeautiful824]

she does have a beautiful voice my favorite NATIVE American singer. we aren't indians,indians are from india (i love india so no offense intended). we're also known as american indians (but i dont like that either i prefer native american) but anyways if you want to hear jana sing in english check out her album flash of a firefly my fave album by her. i almost met her but my mom wouldnt take me she's very nice though.again if you want to hear her sing in english her album is flash of a firefly

[32byrd]

Wow, that was just soo beautiful. I truly hope you'll sing it in English as well. :)

BEAUTIFUL.

[iotekhaneokwire]

@32byrd I hope she never sings it in English. because its beautiful as it is in a native language, no?

[32byrd]

@iotekhaneokwire that's very true. It holds a quality that I don't think it would have in english.

[ktychan]

loved it, i hope she records english version too

[lakerfan198126]

wtf is she saying? Christmas songs should be sung just as God intended them, in English.

[jlynks101]

dont know what she is singing/saying..but its sounds good..haha and she is soo pretty..

[jeoff10]
