I love this song. I play it for my two lil grandson's they like the beat of the drum and get into the dancing. For I am Jicarilla Apache , and I to love to go to powwows. Keep up the traditions for they are dying out. It's good to pass the traditions on to our young for they will keep it going on in the future.

[@DON-qx2ik]

Very powerful song. Always uplifting and producing an inner courage beyond that of normal times. I've noticed that most of the people in the background are also adding their voices. It is a most splendid sound. Good people playing and singing. Thank you, all of you, for giving such a powerful sound.

Very good playing my brothers and sisters, When people can actually feel the drums, the chanting/singing, and dancing without them even knowing what your saying or what its all about then you know our Native ancient ancestors are with you. Peace and blessings to you all from the Lakota people brother and sisters...

[@xillafade]

Mexicans are natives too just colonized Mexican is a term that was given too you by ur colonizers

[@charliedallimore9814]

As a whitie tought in the public fool system, I too thought these songs and chants were waring songs. I think I was very wrong! What I now find is that I get a wonderful vibration resenating through out my body when listening to this wonderful music. I feel the heart and sole and the love of Mother Earth herself. Some times it's good to be wrong about something.

[@lizlika1227]

That's exactly what you are supposed to feel , these songs are prayers, the higher the pitch they can get, the higher the prayers go up :) Nothing like hearing it in person though!

[@JoleneCreely]

There are certain songs sung to honor our veterans that served for Canada and the U.S.A. In that case, the first part of this video was a flag song. A song like that recognizes not only the flags of today but also First Nations (Native American) peoples flags which are eagle staffs, also the war veterans. I am glad your point of view has changed. Each song that is sung around a drum has meaning, and I am glad to see that whites are enjoying our songs. These songs are sung in the F.N (Native American) languages which I find so pure and beautiful. Thank you for sharing and I hope you have learned something new.
