I tear up because they beautiful people and all the bad shit that happend to them and they still here and doin they thing much love im part Chippewa indian from Wisconsin area
I love this song!! But my favorite part is right before the fourth push-up when their dad "catches" the song puts on his heart so his soul can grow and then he gives it back to he drum. Only native people can understand what that really means. 100000000000 aho's!!
The drum is to reflect the heart beats, and not much language was used for singing. It really was mainly spiritual, I remember when my mom would listen to these songs she would cry because of how much it meant to her personally ❤️ it makes your soul want to come out itself and say hello ✨
This was awesome to watch! I am a Māori from New Zealand and this looked like a family affair with young and elderly taking part great to see and it looked like they had fun doing it along side their famz something my culture enjoys doing as well especially when you see the old ones just living in the moment and going off on their own thing lol our elderly do the same they love showing us up any opportunity they get hahahah . Mauri ora ki te whanau! (Long life to the family)
Evan Lacour Those our my Peeps nd they are also Osage from the Zon-Zo-Li! Alot of the songs they sing are Osage E-Lon-Ska songs(Dance of the Eldest Son)
Such a powerful song and to see those respected Elders singing there hearts out brought tears to my eyes. I’m Native from the ‘Na̱mg̱is First Nation, Alert Bay, Northern tip of Vancouver Island. We also have a very strong Culture. This song made my heart extremely happy to be Native. We have been here since the beginning of time. We are the land and the land is Us. 💞 Gilakas’la ~ Thank You.
I am a decendant of the proud nation of the California Coastal Band of Chumash Indians, this song is LIT. Seeing the grandmothers sing backup, truly shows why this Cozad song earned the champion's honor. Aho! Mitakuye Oyasin!
Oh my god!! I seriously got goosebumps, was shaking and was close to tears right at the beginning of the video and I'm not even native. I can imagine the emotions must be tenfolds over for natives listening to or practising the songs of their ancestors.
I grew up northern wisconsin listening to men/boys singing with manly voices not these high screeching little boys that are singing now. When did all of it change? These guys remind me of those days.
Show some respect when you're ignorant of what you chose to watch. These are world championship singers. Men & women singing from their soul for longer than you've existed. I'll explain it to you. This is Southern Style music. They have a heavier drum sound than most northern tribes. Since there are a multitude of tribes in Wisconsin, idk which you "grew up around", but if your tale is true, you would've come with respect. Who raised you to act up for something that has nothing to do with you?!
Hello can I learn this culture from you is so nice my name is James from Berlin Germany lives in Liverpool United Kingdom write new on my private email if you don’t mind jamesalex2522@gmail.com, I will be glad to hear from you soon
There's so many amazing things I can about how this song made me feel but I don't even know where to begin but having just dealt with 2 funerals since yesterday this has definitely lifted my spirit back up!.. #PROUDTOBEINDEGENIOUS
God I love this song. I watched it like 5 or more times and I not tried of it. Cozad singers man I miss yall. I hope to see yall again soon after this COVID is over.
Listening for a world music class and it gave me chills. Thanks for putting this publicly on RU-vid where those of us who aren't part of indigenous tribes can enjoy it! Great music! :)
Cozad in the house!!! My beautiful family jamming... My Late Great grandfather... My father... Took me in 1962... This beautiful song brings great feelings & good memories.❤❤❤ Ah-Ho!!!❤❤❤
Wish I was there in Person to have Experienced this Special moment. It looked Very Moving to see the elderly involved and how much it moved them. May You All Be Blessed🙏🏽 Also Thank You 🙏🏽 For Recording and Putting it up on RU-vid. Thank You!
I watched this several times with my 7 year old granddaughter . I wanted her to see something sacred and different from her world. We bought a hand drum and played along! Gave me chills and much respect for others! Thank you!
Our native American tribes have to gather every medicine from the forest and get every young ones to know what they need to know about it to survive for the next generation to come up!!!!!!
It's really good to see my own relatives from home... I miss sing at the drum but life gos on.... Wells next time I'll see my folks give them a Hello.. Sure love miss my family the Cozads..
I don't know what else to call this other than a religious experience for those singing it certainly sounds like one native American music is easily some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard it's a damn shame my ancestors didn't respect and appreciate it like I do
Ani onk wisag a'an "I am hawk feathers" Ani onk akimel o'odham "I am salt river people". This song, this group helps my spirit. Can feel it in my bones.
I remember as a kid my family and I used to travel everywhere. While my grandpa's, uncles, cousins sitting at the Cozad drum group - my job was to run and go get foods & drinks for them. I would get $15 to go get frybread/food or soda/water, run off and return with the food - if people don't know it's because the drummers & singers weren't allowed to leave the drum unless it was for the bathroom or something extremely important. So they would have "runners" like me, so they wouldn't have to leave, I miss those days 💔 most of them have passed on but I Know their up there singing away with their family dancing by their side, thank you for this ❤️🙏
These songs scared the shit out of the white man. Why he banned us from singing them many years ago. We didn’t guns and armour. Only these songs and the grandmothers and the drum.
