I cry everytime I hear this type of singing and drumming... I am not native american at all. I am from Scandinavia far away from you...but still I am deeply touched.. When I listen to the Tibetan monks chant I feel connected to the universe, but when I hear you guys i am right back connecting to mother earth... I thank you...and bow down in respect! I wish we would understand and respect better mother earth... She carries us in her arms every day...without her we are lost...!
You give me hope, pride, and a sense of unity with your voices, spirit, drumming.....I cannot tell you how grateful I am to hear this beautiful song...it sings to my soul, I am honored. My grandfather is a Blackfoot Indian, they called him "Black". I love my heritage and am very proud to consider myself a part of such lovely people
Sorry for not getting back to you. I just seen your reply ... you know what ! I honestly don't think this is their song. It's a old str8 song. I sang this song when I first start learning how to sing and that was the very early nineties. Now I may be wrong and I aplogize if I am. It's been a long time since I've been at the dewegun; and I should and do know the songs I am singing or have been taught. Now, it may be but I think it is not. I am going to ask as I should and want to remember. Miigwetch brotha
Just to clarify.... On some ignorant people you should always answer a person with respect no matter what they say or do ! And also some songs are purely vocalizations but some songs are words, and others are half and half ..... But no matter what treat other people with respect that is what the elders teach and the elders are wise so I follow that wisdom in that old way, yeah !
i can almost smell the burning sage. Feel the emotion in my grandmother's voice. sitting at the foot of her bed. Listening to how our fathers and mothers were taken to the boarding schools. how they grew up and came back to the rez. AND STILL BECAME POWERFUL ELDERS. This song reminds me of those people who sacrificed so I could be here. Thank you, for this song. I will carry it with me tomorrow.
Proud to be Seneca... Nyawëh for the songs and teachings I carried far away from my home And close my eyes and still remember Each sunrise and sunset in Tonawanda ✊🏽✊🏽

@5mile5n5un5hine Hey there :) We used to have a very strong connection to nature in Scandinavia. Way back a long long time ago... We have lost it and become these control freaks...ha! Somehow this drumming reopens the connection to nature and makes me remember.. I have traveled a bit in Russia, (I speak Russian fluently), and it seems to me that long ago some of our people fled to Russia to avoid Christian persecution of the old spiritual ways that appeared about a thousand years ago.
can someone help find the songs sung by {Butch} Ellsworth Brown hes my uncle and weve lot his music id really appreciate it if someone will send me his music thanks
it was supposed to be actual singing words but our culture n heritage got so drowned out by the english language n hip hop n country that its now just vocalizations sad but true
@storegaa I hear rumors that there might be people with our old culture and ways hiding deep in the sibirian forests. That culture was in many ways comparable to yours, with shamanic type practices, very strong connection to nature, spiritual type warriors without weapons and so on. Today we have become so mental and therefore don't understand much of what we were. There is much you cannot grasp by only using the mental approach. ;)
Getting drowned out by the higher voices of the woman, if woman were allowed to sing then why not give them a chair and allow them to sing and drum. Until then they drown out the song.
I hear you. I’m a Singer. At times, certain songs, okay. But not all the time. Don’t drown out the guys, ladies. They might not want women singing behind them all the time especially for certain songs. 😉 Facts.
