3 easy to sing traditional Cherokee songs.

Here are 3 easy to sing traditional songs played on nontraditional instruments.I sing these songs the way the elders taught me to sing them at sunrise services in Cherokee, N.C. We sing them every 6 months at the Cherokee Indian sobriety campout and convention. The campout is the first weekend of may every year. The Cherokee water song is for blessing and raising the resonance of your water and should be sung seven times, each time a little faster, as you hold your water jug clos to your heart.

My Great grandmother was full cherokee, and I am now 62 yrs old. As a child I dreamed of living with the INDIANS thats all I knew at 5, and later knew why. It was in my blood and heart. I love the music and wish i could find my people that are decended from all of her ancestors. She was in Georgia and came to Arkansas. I am CHEROKEE and proud of it.

Can I get the chords you're using? I'm not familiar with mandolin enough to see them. I'm looking for songs like this to become more fluent in cherokee.

I am Tsilhqot'in from Central British Columbia Canada and I could not believe that the songs you are singing is so close to some of the songs that I wlas taught as a child, I still speak my language fluently and love listening to other First Nation songs.
