    The video credit goes to Sports Zone Radio for kindly sharing this recording with me so I can share it here with y'all! This was at the 3A North Regional Championship Basketball Game in Window Rock! It was Page Lady Sand Devils against Window Lady Scouts. Thank you, Malcom Young (Window Rock athletic director), for inviting me to sing for the championship game! it was amazing! Also, the background music was composed by Kenai Van Haverbeke. He kindly worked with me a week before I performed this! We had to change it a couple of times until it was matched with my voice and tempo! Thank you, Kenai Van Haverbeke, for working with me!

      Well, I sure didn’t!!!! I didn’t understand one word of it, but then I’m not Navajo!! Dine(sp.?!)!! But I sure appreciate her doing that!!! And I’m kind of surprised/flabbergasted that someone so young could sing our national anthem in Navajo! Because I’ve heard that the young people aren’t wanting to learn the language… And I don’t know how true that is or not!? but thank you very much!!! And what a beautiful voice she has!! I bet her family was very proud of her, besides all the other Navajos!!!!! ❤

      US, being those who stand by in fear of greed and power/
      Be funny to find out she was singing swear words to us, wouldn't it " HA I don't think so;
      Too many "Americans" SELL fireworks and DRAMA. (Enough to cause Kate Smith and Edith Piaf to roll over in their graves!) She ain't no Hollywood manufactured hussy, that's for sure!!
      This young lady actually has been blessed with TWO distinctively different QUALITY VOICE-S.
      WE aren't able to SPEAK most of the languages of the Native Indians NOR the immigrants. I should be speaking German and Broken Irish, but we settled for English!
      Too bad Wild Bill Cody turned many of them into circus elephants.
      Wonder who in the UK is going to be able to RETAIN good aspects of their countries' diversities as well?
      They WERE instructed to learn English , however many retained their native tongue;
      It's America's spiritual KARMA overdo that concerns some of U.S.
      Calla actually has "two" distinctively different "voiceS" Plural.
      LOVE HER; A STRONG ALTO WITH A SOPRANO WITH GUSTO! BEAUTIFUL!
      (Other singers make them lower the key to accommodate their incompetence!)
      Music definitely IS the universal language.
      GOOD FOR YOU, CALLA!

      The "National Anthem" does not retain Native American culture because it's sung in Navajo language. She's singing a song written during the Revolutionary War of white men fighting for their Independence against the King of England's rule and oppression while they were oppressing Indians and black slaves . Study some history (his-story/white man wrote) Study the Native American story written by Native Americans.

      There are 4 stanzas of the national anthem, and each one ends in "Does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?"... It makes no distinction of race, history, or nationality. It speaks only to liberty and the bravery to fight for where you live. Let history die. Today is tomorrow's history and you will have to live with your choices then.

      We typically only sing the first stanza, but the others are worth remembrance...
      "And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
      That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
      A home and a country should leave us no more?
      Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
      No refuge could save the hireling and slave,
      From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave,
      And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave,
      O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave...
      thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
      Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
      Blest with victory and peace, may the heaven-rescued land
      Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!
      Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
      And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
      And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
      O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave
