.......singer performing the song but the beautiful melody he created remains. The song is NOT a traditional tribal Jemez song, it is a song created by a talented traditional Jemez singer who created it himself. The video is from 1996 . The dancer & singer performing had performed with many well known native performers. The song was handed down to them from a well known talented 4/4Navajo family known as the Hales that learned the song from the original song maker when traveling together.

The song was created by a native Jemez man named Valintino who traveled with Southern Plains natives in the 60s & 70s dancing all over the states. He created this song himself intermixing his own song with Plains style movements creating a intertribal eagle dance song. This song through the 70s 80s & 90s had become a universal song used in native shows by dancers & singers who knew & know what they are doing & the history behind it. The song may sound slightly different from singer to .......
