Lakota Flag Song/Veterans' Song

[medicinewolf1952]

At a recent Powow,A bystander watched as this song was sung..and the honoring went on..he then turned and asked about this "ceremony",And being a Vietnam vet..I just told him..that we think very Highly of our family that goes off to war..to defend us..and honor them when they come home,always!

[BlueEyedCelt]

Without honour we would have nothing. Those that honour others show their intentions to be pure & laudable. By the very act of honouring others they indeed honour their selves & all others that surround them within their life.

~The circle of life is complete~

@Vre96 me too. tried so hard to get away from the rez & now i want to go back.

[ntvbrianna]

@native0utlaw no you guys dont wanna go back its better to branch off and let ppl know were still around and strong. if we stayed on the rez noone would even hear about us. i moved from the rosebud sioux reservation and never going back only to visit family i feel better moving to st.louis mo and letting ppl know im lakota and proud just keep strong to your roots and youll never feel lost

[Troyocorus]

Even though its a Lakota song, the video is a tribute to all nations.

[iimphresh]

Porcupine Singers are my uncles.

[grvolans]

Free Leonard. God bless all Native Americans.

[SuperBrokenfoot]

I am Lipan Apache and adopted Lakota, and although the picture of Geronimo in the Lakota flag song kinda makes me think of myself, im sure my grandmas would be furious to see an Apache instead of a Lakota man on this video

[rexxed]

Relax people....enjoy the Porcupine Singers..they are really good and you can hear them on kiliradio(dot)org up on the butte in Pahin Sinte SD. This song is played before Lakota sports teams take the floor and it is nice to see the non natives stand and honor the American flag with us in our way. Mitakuye Oyasin

[indiangirl39]

I love this song its great!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[violetdreamnight]

that aint geronimo and he aint apache....its chief joseph, from the west coast

[crowfoote]

oki napi my brothers

[shetuphoenix]

Why don't you honor this properly by putting a Lakota Chief on the front instead of an Apache? Its too bad a lot of wannabes don't care enough to respect tribal pride.

[native0utlaw]

@shetuphoenix i would cept tha computer i did this on no longer works anymore. tha computer i now use doesnt have tha software video making.

[RENOfromTheBurg]

@shetuphoenix thank you for speaking the truth

[63tez]

@shetuphoenix cause it means the whole red nation not one tribe its just sung in lakota.

[lakota164]

@shetuphoenix

well wasn't Geronimo a warrior and therefore a veteran?

[djk28161]

@lakota164 He beat any warrior in the history of all mankind...including King David of the Isrealites

[MrNatedunkin]

[SymphonicDevourer]

Absolutely amazing song, thank you for the honor. *words i have heard all my life* Oh brother bear, where have you gone. The trees miss seeing your path cross theirs. Oh brother eagle, far you must have flown, for your feathers are found no more. The rivers cry, the mountains weep, and my people have had their voices grow whispered. The day shall come when the sun holds us and our voices sing again. Our drums shall be heard in earth and on the winds. We, the people of the land, never forgotten.

[Anjimom]

Made me cry.

[roxxxy69z]

@akichita87 I'm Oglala Lakotah and proud of it I love this song

[akichita87]

Translation:

The flag of the United States will fly forever

Beneath it, the people will grow, that is why I do this.

They are carrying it charging

They are carrying it charging

They are carrying the flag of the United States, charging

The brave Lakota boys are carrying it, charging

They are carrying the flag of the United States, charging.

[oceanboii]

The real leaders were the warriors who fought at the Greasy Grass and that is why the songs are sung, to never forget...We were once a free people.

[2T2009]

aho ... have pity on us

[chukXnaTion]

Hoka-hey my Oglala Lakota friends. I like this song, since i got to be there on Pine Ridge to see the real deal. A-ho Herc Youngbear; drum leader of the porcupine singers. It was good to meet you people.

[AmandaSimm]

Oglala Lakota!!! Aho.

[whitecapsioux]

what are the sioux words in the flag song and the victory song ??? any one

[JesusKrispies]

I only ever learned them phonetically, sadly. Someday I'll actually learn the language a little better...

[prettybabyo0o]

in the end- we're all natives. .& in 0ur native way. . .we sh0uld all stand t0gether. - thankx f0r posting, btw. . it's beautiful.

[bluwakpa]

Oglala is not a band of the Lakhota. Learn ur true identity. Heal our nation.

[native0utlaw]

well ok...im sioux :) better

[bluwakpa]

Sicangu isn't a band either. The two bands that have been forgotten are the Cut-Head and the Flat-Head Lakhota bands. Pine Ridge is an Agency, it's where ALL bands met to get their commods. Since Pine Ridge was a place to get commods, ALL bands settled there. Many Cheyenne settled there too.

BTW Red Cloud was never a Chief, since Oglala is not a band.

[native0utlaw]

thank u for killing wat all i thought i knew about my heritage

[bluwakpa]

lol, It's better to know the truth than live a lie. Think of it as an opportunity to learn something new about urself, ur oyate n ur kolas! Please share this info!!!!

BTW, Sicangu are really Oo'henumpa-Two Kettle. Oglala is a "family" band of the Mnicoujou-Plants by the Water. Crazy Horse the Warrior is Mnicoujou and he never hung around the fort.

[tblubird]

@bluwakpa well actually your wrong there whats is called th seven councel fires.. before u get all learn ths and that my grandpa os Chief Oliver Red Cloud 3RD...the history is kept by them past down.. the internet books etc ar me likely written by a none native....each band( that u say aint a band) has 7 sub bands for example the sicangu oglala etc are also a band but a sub band which make then part of that nation and thesun bands also have there own bands think about what u say b4 writtin it

[OAlittlechief]

[bluwakpa]

Look up the article, "Descendent of Sitting Bull Addresses Myths of Sitting Bull's Legacy." There is an official family tree of Tatanka Iyotanka. It wouldn't be hard to find where you fit in. Get a hold of Earnie LaPointe. I think he lives in Spear Fish.

[ndhfYJU679o848]

im from the Pine Righe South Dokota im Oglala Sioux and im proud to be and always goin to be

[platinumbeatZ4U]

although im Colombian i always had a deep respect for native americans......my great grandmother was a pure south american indian....from the Amazons....i always wish i knew more about my Indian heritage instead of the heritage of the filthy Spaniards

[native0utlaw]

yea i kno wat u mean. i kno more about the white heritage than my native heritage and i speak english better than lakota, so hearing this song makes me sad and proud.

[platinumbeatZ4U]

at least you kno native songs and still do what our ancestors did....i kno nothing...only thing i do is put i dreamcatcher next 2 my bed for i dont have bad dreams.. LOL Where u live???
