[gilesloch]

What u on bour federal government my ass ?

[dajesusblues]

@MrNYGOLD Federal Government my ass. The nine scariest words in the english language are "I'm from the government and I'm here to help". 

[schlagerhansi]

What is the name of this song in Lumbee?

[Ozada75Stoney]

Love this version!!

[boemerke100]

simpelweg prachtig !!!

[BluesHarp60]

The Lumbee Indians are NOT a recognized Tribe ! They have been fighting for decades to be acknowledged but cannot prove their Ancestry!! I live here in Fayetteville and have lived in Robeson County!!! The Lumbee people are awesome good Folk and I love them dearly as I have many good friends!

[Monasukapanough]

@BluesHarp60 Actually they are State Recognized, and they can prove their ancestry thru geneaology, Lumbee however is not a real tribe name, it was a name given to them by the English, They are a mix of Cheraw, tuscarora, and Nc coastal Algonkian tribes such as Croatoan. However not full blood anything, They are also mixed with black and white...however this does not take anything away from them being HEIRS to the above mentioned tribes.

[clemsongirl6462]

@Monasukapanough Thank you, you seem to be the only one who has done their home work on the Lumbee Indians. That is our problem we don't unite ourselves and educate ourselves with our history. Instead we try to jump to others history or deny our genealogy all together. I am proud to have my fathers blood and my mothers!

[Innit2winnit199]

Beautiful

[goboys100]

love your music

[3gbabies]

Hats off to the Lumbee tribe... They invited us from MS to be with them for a few days and yes they are a beautiful tribe fighting for National recognition. I pray it happens for them.

[saradomingod611]

Chills. I got them.

[elcammeleon]

@kitsunewolf16. Fathers Mothers(100% Cherokee WhiteHurst Tribe . Family from NC,Georgia then Oklahoma then to Texas. Moms familyWere basically same Path but 2 differant nations or peoples. Moms side is Lakota! Is in family Tree. I am not looking for fame or racial hate from purebreeds. But if in

need I can only receive blood from natives with same type. AB+ with negative

enzimes. I can give to all. Only can take Native.

Funny how the Spirits work! Thank You!

[Badtreewater]

Why is everyone and their fucking dog, a cherokee indian princess on their great grandmothers side?.

Any other ndn's notice that before?.

[lumbeeladyiowa]

@Badtreewater When ever a man is trying to pick me up I always hear I have a great grandmother whos cherokee lol

[heytherespiffy]

Oh my gosh... this language... It's so beautiful. I have nothing else to say...I'm speechless. Her voice just goes straight to my soul.

[elcammeleon]

Cherokee and lakota /Irish My family hid this as we lived in Midland Texas and Grandmothers Both very Spiritual and could not attend church if folks knew. I was the only family member that they revealed ancestry to! As I am connected to the Spirits! Thank You

[bizzlebedabest]

iam a lum and proud papa be on the recogization were only partly so we wher recognized by the gov as natives but scunce we arent drunks and can thake care of our selfs they wouldnt make us wards of the fed gov

[Devilsmane]

Read my lips. There is no Lumbee language. And the suggestion that she is singing in Carolina Algonquian is ludicrous. The language is extinct. Look up the meaning of the word "extinct".

Alrighty then. Let me say this once again. Whatever language she is singing in is not the Lumbee language as she claims. She is merely using cheap sales tricks to pull the wool over the eyes (ears) of the naive. For a couple of nickels in her pocket she is willing to be a charlatan. There is no Lumbee language.

[53LadyJay]

Proud to be called a Lumbee, I enjoyed the song Jana

[ashantifan1224]

Recognized or not, that wouldn't automatically prove someone is more or less Native American. My great-grandfather is 100% Native American, and our tribe is STILL not federally recognized.

[HonduranAmerican]

She's beautiful, and her voice is beautiful too.

[Devilsmane]

Such arrogance by this woman. The Lumbee have no langauge of their own. They only have English.

[narutotard101]

@Devilsmane They used to not only have English. The Lumbee Tribe used to speak Carolina Algonquian, which was spoken by most if not all Native Americans in North Carolina. Get your facts straight.

You pretty much just showed how arrogant you are. :)

[elcammeleon]

Why All the Hate Brothers? I Am a half breed and Hate no one.. To bicker over trivial things is against the Indian Ten Commandments! Thanks!!

[kitsunewolf16]

@elcammeleon Whats the other half? im just interested, Im lumbee as well but i have other things too,

[techniciansoldier]

jana is a very beautiful woman and who ever marries her will be lucky to have her.

[firebuice]

speechless extremely beautiful voice im cherokee with some creek and this is incredible



[Boots59100]

AWESOME!

[thor2070]

@MrNYGOLD

I read your post from a month ago? This is the second time, I heard of the Lumbee name. I believe that this is a form of segration by the government. They have played Native American Tribes people against each other before. If all native americans hate each other...than there can be no unity against the government. They would want nothing more than to have all of you destroy each other.

[queenzeldainpanama]

The English spoken by the Lumbees contains many strange words, which may well have their origin in a native language. The Lumbee blood is mixed with much English and Scottish blood, and the words are not found in either language, which indicates that they are probably of a native origin. There was an excellent article in The Indian Newsletter several years ago about these strange words which are used solely by the Lumbee.

[Belchmaster41]

@queenzeldainpanama Queen, I think you are right...I sense a mix of French in there also

[queenzeldainpanama]

This is so beautiful and the singer is a beautiful woman. I am half Lumbee, and I know that the Lumbee do not have a "Lumbee language." This has been one of the major problems with their gaining Federal recognition. If the Lumbee ever had an actual language of their own, it disappeared long ago. As a child, I was taught a Christian song in "Indian" by my Great Aunt. I sent the word pronunciation to a professor at Pembroke University and he was unable to identify the language.

[jeldavos]

Beautiful!

[bbhu1955]

音樂非常好聽歌聲很坎入心

[Creeddance20]

What a wonderfull voice

[TheJohansen83]

Aho

[MrAndrewsiii]

There is no Lumbee language, but the song is beautiful.

[Thrawn6211]

@MrAndrewsiii well, whatever language the Lumbee tribe speaks (most likely of the Iroquoian variety)

[CherokeeBPM]

@MrAndrewsiii The language most commonly referred to as 'Lumbee' was an Algonkian language also known as Croatan or Pamlico, but the ancestors of the modern-day Lumbee Indians also included speakers of several other languages, including Tuscarora, Catawba, Cheraw, and other Iroquoian and

[CherokeeBPM]

@CherokeeBPM Siouan languages little is known about today. English was used extensively among the Lumbee tribe, both as a practical lingua franca and also as a first language (due to intermarriage with English speakers), and the original Lumbee languages fell into disuse and finally extinction. The unique Lumbee dialect of English spoken by their descendents, known as "Lumbee English," is still in use today.

[lisahunter47]

GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR MINISTRY

[jamesknapton07]

Fantastic

[jjkdutch]

I try to start my day with a cup of coffee and this song by Jana, this morning was different. When I played it, it was layered, one over playing the other, she was shadowing herself and it came out really great. Just thought it was interesting and wanted to pass it along.

[Nightx88]

Lumbee is not a real tribe.

[Nightx88]

@ZABBU19 Idiot? Easy there tough guy. Don't break your keyboard. The Lumbee are not a real tribe. It's not my fault your life is a lie. Lol@feds not recognizing lumpees.

[jjkdutch]

@ZABBU19 You sir, are correct and verified by the BIA and I would go further and say that sense there is a varifiable Lumbee Tribe it would stand to reason that there is a Lumbee language. So let's don't miss the point, and that is the music. Now all that being settled, sit back and play it again SAM.

[jjkdutch]

@Nightx88 Wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!1

[jjkdutch]

hypopapy,

If there is no God then you better have a damn good replacement!! You must be young to talk like such a fool.

[hypopapy]

there is no God ,you fake ass Patindians



[jjkdutch]

Please have this young Lady do a Gosple album. I am in my end days, this is the voice of an angle.

[Calebforreal]

where is lumbee spoken?

[jjkdutch]

@Calebforreal South Carolina

[jjkdutch]

@Calebforreal South Carolina by Lumbees

[lumbeeritr]

@lgnod With all due respect. This language is Cheraw. The words were taken from a glossary shared with me at Lumbee Legal Services. Many Lumbee (and my) ancestors were Cheraw and Keyauwee. I thought she sang it beautifully. Arvis Locklear Boughman

[MrAndrewsiii]

That was very beautiful but not in Lumbee, the Lumbee language is broken english mixed with many other native toungs and some african as well.

[tylacoleo]

Enchanting and deeply touching: this is a musical jewel!

[CitizenofTatooine]

If it is the real Lumbee language, is it possible to revive it?

[Calebforreal]

@CitizenofTatooine All dying languages should be revived.

[LUMBEE031]

IM FULL BLOODED LUMBEE AN IVE NEVER HEARD MI PPL SPEAK EANY OTHER LANGUAGE OTHER DEN ENGLISH BUT I WULD LUV 2 SPEAK EANY NATIVE LANGUAGE

[ZABBU19]

@LUMBEE031 Well unless youre over 300 years old all you would have heard is english now wouldnt you?

[jjkdutch]

@ZABBU19 I don't believe you would have to be over 300 yrs old as many tribes have tried to maintain their native language and to hear it as I did as a kid was almost common in some settings.

[zmemusicgroup]

Great Job!  Great Voice.

[EVWOLFPACK31]

LUMBEE PRIDE

[biebersgurl100]

[1Ma9iN8tive]

Toitu te reo toitu te mana...mauri ora Jana

[lilblubasterdify]

Imagine what the white man destroyed when he came to this country......entire nations of native Americans who possessed such beautfil arts and languages, I have heard one of my favorite hymns done in both Cherokee and Lumbee, I am awe struck by both.Simply beautiful!

[Miharuanka]

I thought the Lumbee language was extinct too. None of my family speak it or can. I'm mixed with Lumbee on mom's side. I wish I could learn it though.

[jjkdutch]

@Miharuanka This is a reconized Tribe, check out the gov. web sites on native Americans and find your tribe and how to contact them. Good Luck!!!

[Miharuanka]

@jjkdutch Thanks :)

[jjkdutch]

@Miharuanka Glad to help. My self I'm trying to learn the Odawa language now. It is not easy as pure Odawa is rarely spoken and closely related to Ojibwe and there is no one here to speak it with. So I start with comands to my dog in Odawan and it works for me.

[char4him99]

This is just beautiful so moving..

[SuperSWEETAPPLES]

very beautiful i found out thruogh a aunt of mine that i'm actually mixed with lumbee my farther was lumbee & black so i really love learning about my culture. much respect.sad to see that we don'y get regonition.

[ronnywhitebear]

BEAUTIFUL WOMAN and SONG.Love it.

[JohnSpiritWolf]

Teroxus, I would have to disagree with you... I am Ani-Jou Mahingan of the Chiricahua...

[jpbvl]

Whatever language ...it's absolutely beautiful even if I don't understand a word!

[KeKayButterfly]

I am Eastern Band Cherokee and enrolled and I am also Lumbee... Lumbees do not have a language. I grew up on the Qualla Bound Rez in Cherokee NC. I have visited Lumberton and I know for a fact Lumbees don't have a language...

[jeffreywish]

i had no idea the Lumbee had a language in fact i had no idea they existed i learnt something from this vid

[TheLumbeeG]

we Lumbee's are the 3rd largest tribe in america and the largest on the east of the mississippi river

[assa123assa123]

shit! where have you got computer and electrical outlet?

[TheLumbeeG]

hey wut i know is wut i know about my ppl

[malibuta08]

To be honest i have no idea what language she is singing in. But i do know one thing, and that is the lumbee people "do not" have a language. So gaeil you are wrong. Y do u think we havent been Nationally Recognized yet???

[teroxus]

@malibuta08 thank you, lum. i was afraid of being trolled, so i didn't say anything. from a rogue Lumbee, Live well

BY THE WAY GIVE LOVE TO THE SOLDIERS

Lumbee tribe best modern day warrior experts of guerrilla warfare

[cherokee145]

i'm fullblooded Ketoowah Cherokee, this is not cherokee, it is a pretty song, no language is lost, your lost for thinking its cherokee, it's lumbee

[malibuta08]

Umm actually this has to be Cherokee and is not sung in Lumbee. The Lumbee Tribe doesn't have a language at all, it was lost years and years ago.

[gaeilge101]

I think the 40,000+ Lumbee living in North Carolina would argue with your statement...Their language is of the Siouan language family and is still used today....

[TheLumbeeG]

its not cherokee and we do have a language

[oldschoolpirate]

I come from originally Soctland ...This has the heart THATS ENOUGH

[jetfueller]

This is a beautiful song whether sung in Lumbee or Cherokee or English and this girl does a wonderfull job.

[94lumbee94]

[zareave]

[LillCdragonn1]

[josmike69]

[robogenus]

One of the most beautiful versions ever and her voice is like silk - nuh wah do he yaw duh!

[Feuerritual]

Peace Friede Shanti

[EagleGhost117]

wow

[nuttybar9]

the lady in the picture is pretty

[ewtng]

She is only doing the first verse & thats it. She needs to do all six verses. Because if she did all six verses, it wouldn't sound the same from verse to verse. Each verse would sound different.

[powwowcritic13]

what language?????? lumbees don't have a language.........

[decremerjohn]

The Lumbee Indians are of the carolina Algonquian, Croatan

[powwowcritic13]

i keep hearing different on what you guys really are.....so what?

[TheLumbeeG]

indeed u r write we were once the croatan and we have been through many different names and now our perminent name is the Lumbee

[s2woods]

Siouan is the language and by the way Lumbee's speak siouan...so I guess they do have a language.....

[decremerjohn]

The voice of an angel

[MrMortarman]

@decremerjohn  AMEN !

[Unpromoted]

Bought this CD off her webpage right after hearing this song. I've bought 3 or 4 of her CDs now so far, including the newest one, New Moon Born. She is phenomenal. And her work on behalf of little children is downright inspirational.

[oldjesusfreak1]

jana looks like a princess and sounds like an angel. thanks for the posting....

[WolverinWarrior]

Very nice voice!!!!!!

[charlierss]

A voice of an angel. Thanks for posting

[Ignod]

Oh God, but this song and rendition in Lumbee is magnificent. I feel the Creator smiling. May His blessings shower upon all who made this song, this video and all those who view it.

[TheBh72]

@Ignod This is not Lumbee language; this song is actually being sung in Catawba. It's a Lumbee singing it and a lumbee who composed it; but none-the-less it is the Catawba people's language that is being used.

[RUIZ44]

GREAT SONG ALWAYS ONE OF THE BEST

[Muddledbrain]

Its very nice... I recognize it as Amazing grace? in a different language? am I right?

Lovely voice. and Its a strange version... its no

[lumbeewarrior21]

yea its in lumbee my native toung

[94lumbee94]

oh im Lumbee.

[94lumbee94]

yep i wana learn it. peace

[21lumbeewarrior]

i have that cd and learned the song

[94lumbee94]

is that the lumbee language frm the lumbee indains of north carolina?

[lumbeewarrior21]

yea some one did some research and its saposed to be our language but there are some skeptics but ill take it

[FadedJBD]

I had always heard that the Lumbee tribe did not have a specific language when the Europeans arrived. I thought that one of the theories was they had absorbed the lost colony of Roanoke, and therefore spoke English even before most white Scottish settlers in the area.

[cotyjacobs91]

but the thing is we are from the Siouan-Catawban family language group for those who can speak it, but our english is just as diffrent from the other cultures there.

[Selenaencarnation]

yay jana yay
