I'm a person who doesn't know my tribal affiliation. They've tried so hard to keep it away from me. If any Native youth can read this... The one thing I want to say.... Your knowledge about your culture, language, your connection to your culture and your identity, is power. Hold on to it and embrace it.
I maybe able to help you find your tribe. What is your lineage my friend? Knowing your tribe is your birthright. We have been manipulated by the colonists. I maybe able to help you find your way home 🙏🙏🏽🙏🏿🙏🏼💜💖💕
Thank you so much for singing this song again, and teaching us in a deeper way the meaning. I am of European dissent and was very drawn to this song. A native friend of mine said the women should sing it at the full moon, so I started learning it, and I sat with my AnishauNabi twoSpirit cousin who encouraged me to sing with humility, intention and with love, and we sang it together. I felt like I needed to ask permission, and they said “you’re trying to do it in a good way, and if these grammas have put this online this wonderful grandmother for you to sing then you should sing it”. I live in the Pacific Northwest where rain may seem plenty to others but our trees are dying. Because of drought, because of water “mismanagement”, so I sing this song as a prayer to these super spirit beings, the grandmothers, the thunder beings, the water carriers and great mystery and I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me songs to all the people of the rainbow. Megwich!
