I just read yesterday that the Cherokee Indians have a gene which is cauciside...Haplo group X it is akindred to that of the Mediteranain sea area, peoples...ie they have common anscestory of the Greeks, Italians etc...I am Metis I like the singing in Cherokee better even though I couldn't understand it,lol!

[dwolfspirit1]

@lucy9359 O'Siyo Lucy,I am Tsalagi (cherokee) I had heard that also,but they did another DNA test on a group of Eastern Cherokee,and that was not the case,because some group of Cherokee,not from Cherokee,NC said they were a lost tribe of Israel,we are our own people,you will find that Natives all over the USA will say our ancestors came from the Star People.

[lucy9359]

@dwolfspirit1 thanks I am not so sure about the star people thing but I actually have seen a UFO not that I should tell anybody that,lol and I wouldn't besides the fact that many people from our community seen it as well including the police...

And what a delightful sense of humor this man has!

This music works like an anti-depressant. It has elevated my mood remarkably here. :-)

[jojo216]

enjoyed listening to you explain some of the native ways and you singing your music in the open air made me feel so good! Thx for posting & do more!

[Azizip17]

Thanks for making & sharing this video. I loved the flute tune and your Cherokee singing. I also appreciated your translation of the words in the Cherokee language, and the information you shared about the instruments and the dances.

And I absolutely love your sense of humor!

Keep on keeping your culture alive!
