Robbie Robertson brought so much attention, recognition and appreciation of Native Indian peoples, their Spirituality and culture. Some of the most beautiful and moving music ever written. Divinely inspired. Thank you Robbie 🙏 🕉

I learned that my family was related to a Cherokee chef Turkey Feather.

Just heard that Robbie passed over yesterday, when a friend emailed this clip. I loved his music, especially the second song here… I’m going to look for his song ‘Today is a Good Day to Die’, now It seems appropriate… It’s a sad day. I’ve loved Robbie for 30 years. RIP Robbie, you were one of the good ones. 💕🌈

[@notimewarp]

thanks for posting! I just wanted to add for those who may not know, the women singers in the first song are a group called Walela, which includes Rita Coolidge and her sister. The second vocal group is Ulali who, unfortunately, only put out one cd, but singer Pura Fe (on left) continues to put out solo cd's. Not sure on the others...

I was living on Onondaga Hill and going to Onondaga Community College when this album came out. Robbie Robertson and the Red Road Ensemble's Music For the Native Americans was amazing to listen to when it first came out and it still has that same power to this day.

Ghost Dance is such a beautiful piece of art. I'm grateful to my high school dance teacher for introducing me to Robbie Robertson.

[@janettedean4713]

Such a beautiful pairing of two important songs from an outstanding compilation honoring Native Americans. Listen & hear the determined humanity in all the lyrics & in the instrumental and vocal sounds & melodies themselves. So soothing & inspiring!

I am a musical child to the classic sounds of such Artists as RRobertson. @1236bigcat took a few minutes to explore and share this sound with me and I will never be the same!

Mahk Jchi’s song gives me goose bumps.

[@cookaboorra]

The two women are sisters perhaps. One owns a wonderful voice and an astounding inner power. The other shows a very high dignity, she shows proudly to be a lofty being. Oh my God she's the most proud woman I have ever seen.

[@Sushi33312]

This song, this music gives me chills to my soul. So powerful to give song and unfamiliar language back to missing people's voice in America's heritage and combining it with modern notes to drive home the mystique. Thank you, Robbie, so very much for bringing life back to this music. It is one of my treasured albums. Say hello to Dominique for me (and my cats!)

[@jimrebr]

This video is proof that Robbie could sing, I read in Levon’s book that they always put a dea Mike in front of Robbie, in The Band, but I remember Robbie’s 1st solo album and he sang on that. Also I love Walela very much, Rita & Priscilla Coolidge and Laura Satterly, Priscilla’s daughter, her white buffalo daughter.❤

Spent 6 months on Pineridge, changed my views forever , Oglala Sioux and Hunkapapa ... Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull were the last to surrender , both camps share the revenge massacre for Little Big Horn ....Wounded Knee . My experience was a beautiful culture , I lived it for 6 mos ( 6 mos with tribe in Fairbanks also ) . Its was a pleasure to serve both tribes , still have deep feelings for those in Pineridge and hope the resistance result in ND will not be more violence , peace

Un grande della musica rock ex frontman del gruppo "The Band", che accompagnò Bob Dylan in tanti concerti negli anni '70. Uno dei protagonisti del film documentario di Martin Scorsese intitolato The Last Waltz", dedicato proprio alla chiusura dell'attività concertistica di questa formidabile band, di cui ricordo la splendida canzone "The Weight". Questa emozionante "performance", eseguita dal vivo alla BBC nel 2010, è dedicata ai nativi americani, da cui discende anche Robbie. 🙂

Beautiful music. Very heart felt. Sad thoughts. We [I am white] DO have a lot of thinking and understanding to do. And, then, speaking out for justice for ALL of the American people, and the other people of this world. We're so beyond the Tea Party hatred. Which is why America's doors need to remain open wide to anybody, from wherever, can come to try and make a better life for themselves and their families. It helps those of us already here to understand better how this world is slowly changing to the good. We now have one of the greatest Presidents we've ever had. We need to get behind him this last year of his presidency. And, we can't let the GOP back into the White House.

[@tommtommkin]

Five years later I'm still coming back for more. :) I sing with the ladies but I still have no idea what it is I'm singing is there a translation somewhere maybe? Also I want to say that there are you tubers who do reaction videos and to one couple I made a request that they do this video, not sure if they will or not but I really hope they do. There are a whole lot of artists who aren't really heard or listened to a whole lot and I think its way late that these people need to be heard more. Was thinking about doing my own channel dedicated to these outstanding artists that I think are greatly over looked at times we need to get you out there more and let those that have never heard you guys hear you especially the young ones who may not know a thing about you its a shame because you guys do truly beautiful work. Only thing that stops me really is I dont relish the idea of getting banned from here over copy write issues not sure how to get people out there without playing there music some how the two go hand in hand. Peace.

Mahk Jchi is a beautiful a cappella (Italian for "in the manner of the chapel",church music, Gospel if you will). If I'm not mistook, t'is "Heart Beat song".Translation is on the net .Go seek lyrics.

Stupende queste versione dal vivo del grandissimo Robbie Robertson ; i brani sono tratti da uno dei dischi più belli che abbia ascoltato in vita mia , in ormai quasi 50 anni che seguo e sento musica da studio e dal vivo . Straordinariamente belle e brave le vocalists . Una delle pagine memorabili della cosiddetta World Music , di cui sicuramente il Sommo e Massimo esponente è senza dubbio Peter Gabriel.
