This video shows the reception for the Yakama Nation and others from the pacific northwest when they arrived to stand in solidarity with the water defenders at Standing Rock.
Stand tall, stand strong, stand united and stand long. Do not waver. You're fighting for us all and we thank you brothers and sisters, cousins, neighbors, you are the fighting spirit of the Native Nations.
I love it that you sang this song and I got to hear again. I heard this song when I was younger and never heard it until now. I am glad you shared this song. thank-you
I keep coming back to this, or it keeps coming back to me. Either way, I notice and am grateful to play it loudly out over the hills between Major Creek and Klickitat. Thank you for continuing to stand in and for true power and honor, for all. May truth prevail. ♥️🙏♥️

WE HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER FOR WHAT IS GOOD AND RIGHT FOR THE FUTURE GENERATIONS. I can't drum and sing here it's a disturbance and you all keep me REVIVED RESTORED AND ENCOURAGED 🗿🥁 WOPILA
I have to say that with all the nations supporting the water defenders, and now with the support of the maori nation in new zealand, the police are really not ready for what's going to happen if they keep pressing the issue....
From the tribe's website: "In the mid-1990s the Yakima nation renamed itself to 'Yakama,' more closely reflecting the proper pronunciation in their native tongue."
