Mvskoke Hymn singing at Wewoka Indian Baptist Church in Wewoka, Oklahoma on March 19, 2014. This was recorded during our spring revival. Rev. Mitchell Taylor was the guest speaker for the week. Our Pastor is Rev. Curtis Kinney.
I grew up on these songs but when my great grandmother died and then my uncle after her and just recently my grandpa a year ago, I stopped going to church and stopped the songs. Now I hear them and I can't stop crying
I GREW UP IN CHURCH AT LITTLE SPRINGS AND LEARNED ALL I COULD THE CREEK HYMNS I COULD, SAT WITH MY GRANDMA MABLE FOREMAN, THESE HYMNS MAKE MY HEART FEEL SOO GOOD, SOMETIMES ALITTLE SAD SHE'S GONE TO BE WITHE LORD I THANK THE LORD FOR HER AND ALL SHE TAUGHT ME
My sweet daughter , I had no idea you remember the Creek hymns that's how I remember Grandma just loving to sing these beautiful hymns , and I learned as many as I could and yes some very sad . Sure miss her and all our church leaders that are with the Lord now . Thank you for all your teachings .
Thank you Curtis Kinney for speaking at my grandmother's burial service in Seminole last year. She would have been happy to see her family there and you speaking to us all.
I wanted to die a few times to be reborn but I know it is not that simple.... this is the first time I heard these hymns, they bring a comfort to my heart
These hymns also remind me of going to church at Okmulgee Indian Baptist church with my grandma, great aunt and uncle and my cousins. I listen to these hymns every now and then to remind me of my heritage and where I came from.
Mvto! for the songs, I don't get to hear my tribal hymns unless I go home across the river. So spirit-filled I miss hearing my daddy sing but still blessed to hear my momma.
some of these songs I haven't heard scince I was a little girl in efulfua Oklahoma when great uncles and my great aunts & My Grama bring tears to My eyes
I grew up going to church with my grandparents at Many Springs in Holdenville, Ok and Seminole Baptist in Konowa, Ok. Such happy times- Thank You!! ❤️Much Love
Earthly Patriot mine as well. I've been to many many places yet when I think of my happiest of moments, this little town in oklahoma holds them all. I hope you find your way :)
Awesome video brother! Reminds me of the good times with my grandparents Bunny and Louella Porter at Cedar Creek Eufaula or visiting High Springs as a kid
Alot of comments are of ones who left behind the language . And returning hearing the old words brings on many emotions. Keep speaking creek How could we let the language die out and not honor our ancestors
I know most of you aren't into it but it would be nice to have the hymns recorded and put on here or even on the creek Facebook page. I'm family to the Berryhills. Linda Berryhill is my aunt. We're stationed in Arizona and I sure do miss being around family and hearing these hymns.
The hymns sounds so beautiful! I came here to find out how the language is spoken. My father never got to know my grandfather. I found out my grandfather was full Mvskoke and was from the Cheek family. I feel saddened that I wasn't able to find my grandfather before he died. I would love to know more about their (and my) culture.
Yes, i can still Hear Uncle Joe & My Papa Thomas sing together along with Aunt Margie & Aunt Cora Billie. Thomas L. Billie is My Papa.. I sure do miss them. I Love Them So Much.. ❤
I appreciate this recording very much. I am trying to understand everything I can about Mvskoke music. Does anyone have a recording of work songs they would share on RU-vid? Perhaps a corn-pounding song?
I am from the Glorieta Baptist Church in OKC and i was wondering if these songs are recorded somewhere or are these songs recorded during 4th Sunday service?
Alan Washington I know this little Creek church in Glenpool called Solid Rock just started having services all in Creek every 3rd Sunday I think. It's after regular service...The pastor is Todd Parker. They also have a website called SolidRock.net and it has a pic of the church so you might want to check it out.? Lol
