All Nations Green Corn Festival & Pow Wow (Native American)

O'siyo to all my brothers and sisters from All Nations Green Corn Festival & Pow Wow on July 25-27 2008. This video is dedicated to all of you who hosted and attended these ceremonies.

Among the Cherokee people, the Green Corn Ceremony was celebrated in the month of June. The Cherokee honor Selu, the Corn Mother. In ancient times, the ceremony lasted for four days and was comprised of sacred dances which were performed by dancers within a sacred circle.

The Host Drum for this present-day celebration was Bird Chopper ... with Ric Bird presiding as Master of Ceremonies. The home of Bird Chopper is Qualla Boundary, otherwise known as the Cherokee Indian Reservation in North Carolina. Bird Chopper's music is featured on the second video from the All Nations Green Corn Festival & Pow Wow. This video will be released in approximately three weeks.

MUSIC: The beautiful music on this first video is used with permission. This is the healing flute of Carlos Reynosa playing "Baby Blue." Carlos started writing music in 1987 and began his solo recording career in 1993. In 2003 he released BABY BLUE, a flute CD which was nominated for Best Independent Recording of the Year by the NAMMYs. Carlos is proud of both his European and Native American heritage. He is of Mestizo of Cherokee, Yaqui, Mexica, French and German descent. The diversity of his heritage and his international travels have given a unique perspective to his music.

I am the great ,great granddaughter of my full blood Cherokee grandmothers.

I have always been able to communicate through the spirit about things.I believe we are 3 part beings made in the image of our creator, spirit, soul, and body.

I want to know more about the Cherokee way of life, as I am being lead into the natural pathway for better health, I want to learn their ways and customs.

Thank you for this gift, to the many children, like my self that have no direct link to their heritage but their souls cry out for it. The spirit of our Ancestors and Elders are still speaking into us... raising us up from far and near... reminding us that to Love the earth, and each other is the only way. To honor all things is the only way. May we ride and fly with those that came before us, and learn the ways so that those after us can carry out the passions of our people. Thank you
