All My Relations

All Our Relations ~ Sang By: Ulali ~ Lyrics By: Pura Fe.
A note about "All My Relations" The music for All My Relations" is based on an
Irish drinking song from the late 1700's. Gary Owen is actually the American
pronunciation of two Gaelic words that roughly translate into Owen's Garden,
(and I do mean roughly) which is or was a place in Ireland where people gathered
to drink and whatever. It was listed as "Auld Bessy" at a publishing in 1788 and subsequently
attributed to "Jackson of Cork" around 1800. It was adopted by the American military during the 1800's
as a marching song.
It is often referred to as Gary Owen March or Hale in the States. It was often used by the American military
as they marched into battle to kill the Native Americans, most notably by Custer at the battle of Little Big
Horn as he marched against the Lakota Nation. It continues to this day to be used by the American military.
Pura Fe wrote the narative that Ulali speaks over the music. We use it as the background of the narrative to
commemorate and honor all our relations and others who have died throughout the wars.

To the Lakota medicine man and his people who shared their medicine and healed my spirit. I honor you and thank you for teaching me about the Mother Earth and our connectedness to each other. I am saddened by man's inhumanity to man, to nature, to the 4 legged. All My Relations is beautiful. Thank you for sharing this song.

[@Agui007]

All western society has taught us is how to live at our worst, how to be greedy, materialistic, how to walk over others, etc. I would like to see more Native American spiritual teachings which is why so many of us cannot live in harmony as we've forgotten or haven't been shown the way. I have the greatest respect for the Native Americans.

[@kitowahwebishopssgasa6218]

To take and make something like the Gary Owen our own, requires strength and courage. My hat off to you.

[@jamjambrazil]

This song is for my dad who works to get us our tribal cards and be official and prove our link to our Choctaw Nation, when our grandpa was denied. This is to my cousins, grandmas, uncles,aunts caught in the divide (african and native) For me and my sister and best friend who live everyday to honor all our ancestors and also Creator despite what people think or what ppl say we both know who we are and that Creator chose us for the red road we did not choose it. Thank you for this song and poem!

[@tsalagiwaya80]

Thank you so much for watching, and warm words in your comment. I feel the same, this song touches my spirit. Many Blessings.

[@tsalagiwaya80]

I hope this helps to enlighten you as to what our words really mean. Many Blessings!

[@Leslie58]

Mitakuye Oyasin! Namaste! We are one! May we all come to realize these words and make them a reality.

[@traveln3]

so beautiful. much energy is summited to the things that divide us. racism is fairly new and is only used as a distraction. spiritual people must stay focused on what really matterx. God's will.

[@kathleenhannan]

Thanks so much for telling about the Choctaw sending money to the starving Irish. I am Irish American and I had not heard that story. I want to express my gratitude to the Choctaw people for their generosity at a time that was so difficult for them as well as for my ancestors. And thanks so much to Pura Fe and Ulali for making this beautiful expression of the truth that is in the hearts of All our relations. Namaste.

[@johhnyhagi6946]

10 years... response my son part native/Irish thanks for reminding me about Irish genocide

[@911nanothermite]

Timeless "now" and "then" never to be forgotten..!!

[@jcjazmin]

I love this song and love those who keep their traditions and feel proud of the past and keep it going for the future. It teaches us to remember that in the eyes of our creator we are one no matter what color, race, sex, or background.

[@hawkdreaming]

you know the truth. thank you for your words of wisdom. you stay on your path and don't believe anyone who tells you otherwise. we will be healed only when we see each other as equal. we are one with each other and all our relations... someday all will see this. no matter what you see happening, know that the river knows it's course, knows where it is headed, and that everything will find it's way. follow the inner vision and keep giving love even if it is not given back. all my relations,sbruce

[@MyMoppet52]

I think this song is perfect. I learn something each time I hear it. I have a friend who left my home due to the fact that the background music is Gary Owen. (The song Custer marched to. That unit still marches to Gary Owen) He felt it was demeaning to the soldiers. I feel it is a great backdrop to their song and it is a bit of "what goes around comes around". I love to hear Gary Owen in the background. My friend, who is still my friend, was told if he didn't like it he could leave. Thank you!

[@tsalagiwaya80]

Pura Fe wrote the narative that Ulali speaks over the music. We use it as the background of the narrative to commemorate and honor all our relations and others who have died throughout the wars.

[@JosephFrietze]

I've loved this song for years, and only realized this week that the background chant it to the tune Garry Owen, a traditional folk tune from Europe, that was used as the official song of the 7th Cavalry. I see what they did there.

[@hattkelley296]

Irish song used superbly

[@PzKpfw]

Thanks. I think that bravery, in any form, should be commended at all costs. I think it's honorable that you don't hate us, and see that we we're ONLY trying to protect our lands and loved ones. You would do the same I think.

[@mnold167]

"we are the land" amen

[@giannibuffalo7]

All my realations all related hynipi

[@Yavie]

this song teaches respect. Something some of you should learn about. If we learn to respect each other and our differences it would be a better planet to live on. Please lets just see the beauty in both the artistic works and in the soul felt words and sounds of the music.

[@cira222]

What a powerful song! With the words, it brought tears to my eyes, but after the words, all I heard was the voices singing..and could feel the raw emotion..that put a lump in my throat.

[@nizhoni1616]

This makes me cry every time. No matter what.

[@irishgrl]

As a person who is immensely proud of my Irish Heritage, I am gratified more than I can say to see that the Irish and the First Nations peoples share so much.

[@lunesnieves]

this speaks to who I am: “To those who left their communities by force or by choice and through generations no longer know who they are.” I am 1/3 native but have no meaningful heart connection to that past self, sad to say ...

[@tsalagiwaya80]

Thank you for viewing, and your kind words. Many Blessings!

[@papawerebear65]

And I have not forgotten that. I am moved each time I remember this. I am of mixed ancestry, Irish and Native of at least two tribes. I lived in Oklahoma where there are many Choctaw and was moved to tears when I learned of this, years ago, because I knew that they had so little, but gave with an open heart. I did what I could then; I thanked those of my friends I knew were of the Choctaw Nation on behalf of my ancestors across the sea.

[@hesterroemersma9896]

I hadn't listened to this in a while, and just now I did with my headphones on, my eyes closed and intensely feeling the message again. Then I suddenly felt one of my bunnies jumped on the couch to sit close by me. I guess he sensed the spiritual connection... 😊❤

[@goldeneagel1]

it touched my mind and my heart

[@josette6214]

A wonderful tribute!I love this! I share from France!Don't forget!

[@violet2048]

Hawkdreaming, you spoke like a poet and from the heart. Someday it will to us all.

a nuestras abuelas y abuelos que nos enseñan sobre nuestra creación y nuestro pasado para que nosotrxs preservemos a la madre tierra para nuestrxs ancestrxs aún por llegar nosotrxs somos la madre tierra esto está dedicado a nuestrxs antecesores de miles de años y a los ciento cincuenta millones que han sido exterminadxs a lo largo del hemisferio oeste en los primeros cuatrocientos años empezando en 1492 a quienes resistieron en sus tierras y a las naciones extintas por genocidios, esclavitud, deportación o enfermedades desconocidas para ellxs y a quienes hoy en día siguen atadxs a los mismos tratos a quienes sobrevivieron desalojos y a quienes fallecieron en el camino a quienes mantienen tradiciones y viven fuertes entre su gente a ellxs que dejaron sus comunidades a la fuerza o por voluntad y por generaciones no supieron quiénes eran a quienes siempre buscan y nunca encuentran y a quienes se retiran, jamás comprendidxs a quienes nos unen y a ellxs viviendo por afuera: sean la voz de muchxs a quienes logran volver para vivir y bancar las luchas de su gente a quienes abandonan y quienes no continúan a quienes abusan de ellxs mismxs o de otres y a quienes reviven a lxs incapacitadxs física, mental o espritualmente por accidentes o desde su nacimiento a quienes buscan la verdad en nuestra espiritualidad y nuestra forma de vivir y a quienes las explotan, incluso lxs nuestrxs a quienes caen en las mentiras y sostienen las líneas divisorias que nos tienen luchando entre nosotres a lxs forasterxs que llegan, buenxs y malxs, y a nosotrxs que no sabemos distinguirles a los líderes y prisioneros de guerras por política, crímenes, raza y religión, culpables o inocentes a lxs jóvenes, lxs viejxs, lxs vivxs y lxs muertxs a nuestrxs hermanas y hermanos y a todxs lxs seres vivxs que habitan la madre tierra, y a su belleza que hemos destruido rechazando el honor que el gran espíritu creador le otorgó a cada individux la verdad que yace en nuestrxs corazones todos mis lazos

[@jimmyjoeh2o]

Please share this with all your relations, these words are a living prayer for all beings.

[@songinwind]

thank u Jack for this share---

[@ted331]

There's another interpretation of the Gary Owen that should be played with this and that's Mick Ryan's Lament.

[@00brujula]

to our elders that teach us of our creation and our past so we may preserve mother earth for ancesters yet to come we are mother land this is dedicated to our relatives before us thousand of years ago and to the one hundred and fifty million who were exterminated across the western hemisphere in the first four hundred years time starting in 1492 to those who have kept their homelands and to the nation extinct due to mass slaughter, slavery deportation and decease unknown to them and to the ones who are subjected to the same treatment today to the ones who survived the relocations and the ones who died along the way to those that carry on traditions and live strong among their people to those who left their communities by force or by choice and for generations no longer know who they are tho those who search and never find tho those who turn away, the so called non accepted to those that bring us together and to those living outside keep in touch the voice for many to those that make it back to live and fight the struggles of their people to those that give up and those who do not carry to those who abuse themselves and others and those who revive again to those who are fisically, mentally or spiritually incapable by accident or by birth to those who seek truth in our spirituality, in ways of life and those who exploit it, even our own to those who fall for lies and join the dividing lines that keep us fighting amongst each other to the outsiders who step in, good or bad, and those of us who dont know better to the leaders and prisoners of war, politics, crime, race and religion, innocent or guilty to the young, the old, the living and the dead to our brothers and sisters and all living things across mother earth, and her beauty we've destroyed denying the honor that the creator has given each individual the truth that lies in our hearts all my relations

@Stalinx20 Actually, according to census results, there are approximately 4 million people of Native American descendancy in the US.

I agree with you.

I gotta get that disease chart i looked at in my history class the profesor showed me it was cool to see there were lots of diseases same ones we had but only a handful had due to bad diet =)

Oh jeez. My sister and I share this account. She was replying to icebeinintoober, and he said something very very insulting about native americans. Believe me, my sister is very touchy about people telling us to "go back to Asia". I myself, love this song, and hope no one judges us further.

[@PzKpfw]

Agreed.

Aho Mitakuye Oyasin!

[@Viaamtrak]

This is not aout whining and victimhood. Those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it. Ite, kola. Remember, this is the last song Custer heard before he died. Garry Owen turned that day from a victory song for Custer to a victory song for us. Whenever I face death and dangers, I now listen to it. It reminds me that we are still wariors and e are stil capable of victory.

[@christinecallanan3543]

We saw him😉

[@PzKpfw]

"that we are still wariors and e are stil capable of victory" Look up these 3 encounters out of about 3 dozen: Siege_of_Fort_Meigs, Modoc_War, and Battle_of_the_Wabash.

The Irish drank for the same reasons, to escape the the misery they were reduced to... taken from their families and beaten when they spoke their language... the song - drinking song of rich young roisters in Limerick. It obtained immediate popularity in the British Army garrisoned in Limerick. It was a resistance song,,,, the Irish resisting the British(anglo-saxon) as the British worked hard to Breed the Irish out of them, send the men off to Austrailia and wars to die. Parallel histories

i just saw on TV that some danish scientists have found that the indians came from Asia 14.300 years ago, and that they probabably were the first people to reach America

[@orion588581]

My nephew seven is 8 years old one day he came to me and said that jesus was an indian and they through him off a cliff because he wanted to heal the people,he also said that fire is a mystery to the wind, seven also told me that the meaning of life is not in the tv, he said the meaning to life is death, talk about from the mouth of babes

[@TheUniqueMaterial]

That's what you think. Did you add Mexico and Canada? They didn't draw lines on paper - they just went. Back and forth and then again.

[@donHooligan]

[@louisalit]

This make me very sad. I have a feeeling I ought to apologize on the behalf of all Europeans/Americans for the crimes against your people. I wish you all good in the future. Moving and beautiful video

Agradezxco sus cantos, por favor pueden poner traducción al español para comprender sus mensajes*

[@TheUniqueMaterial]

I think they misunderstand you, sammy. I didn't do it; I wasn't here. Neither were they, nor you. But memory - and collective guilt run deep. Don't discount it. It is Real. Peace, little brother. Namaste~

[@PzKpfw]

There wasn't any massacre. The Spanish had some 500 years of conquest and resistence from us. The Chichimeca War, Arauco War, Seminole Wars, failed attempts to conquer Florida, failed attempts to conquer the Maya, failed attempts to conquer the Iroquois, Red Cloud's War, Black Hills War, War of 1812, Revolutionary War, all showed that when we tried, we could kick some ass.

[@broadwaymelody33]

That was my sister Mel. She's very sensitive as you could see. However, I, too, find that comment that person left to be very offensive, and I can't believe someone would be that ignorant. Oh well. I guess not everyone can change.

[@melmel075]

would be far better if video showed lyrics and real pictures of Native American peoples past and present!

[@tsalagiwaya80]

I am so sorry I had a limited amount of pictures. It isn't about the pictures though. :) It is the words, and what so many need to hear, over and over, Many Blessings!

[@Anaris10]

Meh'chuk'sa!

[@PzKpfw]

Many of the Spanish sieges involved diseases and simply waiting for them to demoralize or die out. Here's something you'll never find in a history book meant to be distributed: 'Battle of Wabash'.

[@CORYJOHNM]

I cant share this!?

[@tsalagiwaya80]

With repect to your commment. "Whining and victimhood" is what you get from these words? Then I have not done my job well. These words are to honor our ancestors, NOT to "whine" about anything. Many Blessings!
