I sing the Strong Woman Song every day. For myself, for our sisters everywhere, and for our Mother, may she hear and heal with us. Thank you for such a beautiful singing of it.
I struggle with depression and not knowing my own culture. I'm native cree and this song brings me peace of mind and I feel like I belong somewhere when I listen to this. 🖤
@@thriveeq8252 I care for all my native brothers and sisters including you. Be strong my brother our ancestors would want us to be strong enough to fight for our land.
Im passing this on a recommendation for healing, cleaning, calling in calling out spirit, for all and any reason , she is INCREDIBLE, SHE HAS A HEALING VERY SPECIAL VOICE, i hope she practices Native medicine cus she has such a power healing voice.........and ur beautiful, u go girl!!
Played this out loud on my speaker system and my 2 dogs and my cat joined me in my room, holy ❤ a message from the creator, who knows, awesome moment 🎉
Wow 😮 beautiful voice and drumming 🥁 🗣 🎶 I adore this song it got me through a very tough time in 2016 I was charged with assault on my youngest and my eldest and I did not do it I fought for my children all 3 said I did not do it they were placed with my mom thank goodness and as I was away from them I wasn’t allowed to see them or contact them CAS damaged me and my children and our worker admitted they hurt me did not help me they hurt my daughters did not help them so as I was at my friends house when I was finally released from Vanier on bail I stayed at my friends house I was in my room I had rented from her and this song randomly came up on my TH-cam by Yvonne Johnson who was in Kingston jail with the sister who wrote this song and I have never cried so much it was very much needed and helpful and healing. So many have attempted to change it or say it was created at a college etc Yvonne Johnson tells the true story and is now an author of many books 📚 I have listened to this song by many others and no offence but it wasn’t given the Justice it deserved I must say that you did this extremely well beautifully done ✅ you should be so very proud of yourself if it matters at all I’m proud of you. I love you 😍 sister Wela’lin Miigwech 💋
I just played this song 4 times in a raw! Girls, women of Earth, we all are the same, with the same troubles, hopes, worries! Let's support each other! Beautiful meditative song to release all the unspoken feelings out of our souls! Thank you!
Beaituful song! I sang this to my grandmother as she lye dying of dementia difficulties (she was my best friend in the world) and I sing it now a lot for my daughter, whom I've named after my grandmother.
I don't know if I've ever commented but I've been listening to this song for a good 6/7yrs now, and I'm still so grateful for the strength and serenity it gives me. I'm mixed race, including what some might refere to as a drop of native american blood-my great, great, great grandmother walked the trail of tears when she was 10. Her US name was Catherine, but no one in the family knew her native name... I call myself one of the many "lost children" of mixed native heratige here in the US because I didn't grow up with any of my beautiful native culture, and for some tribes when the direct maternal line is broken we are considered to not have a tribe...this honestly crushes me and I weep sometimes for not knowing my precious culture or for even being able to claim my heratige openly, free of criticism. My heart and soul sing with this song and drum. Thank you for sharing the prayer ❤ Wopila, mitakuye oyasin
This is absolutely beautiful!! My ojibwe mother was a drunk, so I was raised by my white dad away from the culture. I'm going through a really rough patch and something inside me has led me to reading and learning about the culture. Your beautiful voice radiates strength.
@@cr1ms0nr4in I too was a drunk throughout my teens and early 20s. But I realized I didn’t want to live my entire life that way, having a bunch of kids I couldn’t be bothered to raise like she did, so I got sober. It hasn’t always been easy but I just turned 29 and I’m going on 4 years sober. There is a lot of bitterness there for sure.
It's never too late to find peace in life with yourself. That starts with finding who you are. Being from 2 different cultures is complicated, but your soul will lead you in the right direction. Have a blessed day

My lovely Navajo mother in law shared this incredible video with me and I am so grateful she did! Your voice is so strong, so powerful - it is clearly is a healing song for the soul; it gave me the chills! I've listened at least 5 times in a row. I'm excited to teach my daughters this song!❤❤ Thank you for this! Ahéhee!
I have learned this song from her,i sing it to my self and out loud in my back yard at least 2 times a day! My poor neighbors,i dont sing well! They dont have to listen!

"From the Hearts of Our Elders" posted this video on Facebook. I think I have listened to it 20 + times now. Absolutely incredible voice - chilling. I had to search for more music by ms. Young - please post more! : )
I love this & you! Its perfect & you're a beautiful soul! I've been in an abusive relationship, & when under a bad predicament, this song has helped me through many times! Thank you for the blessing of sharing friend, best wishes! XO
Been listening to this beautiful, strong song for the past 4months, due to long hard journey, listening to Native American healing music is giving me strength to keep moving forward strong. I will rise, and stay strong and never stop. Thanks Shelley. 👍✌. I'm 🌎,🐻,🐺 and I know, I'm alone. ✨
It would be good if people would start sharing the history of how and where this song came from. If people knew the story it would even be more healing. I think of all the women who were locked up in P4W when I hear this.
I'm so emotional. This wonderful song makes me think of the strong women in my family that have passed on, especially my beautiful daughter who was the strongest woman I know😪. May her spirit rest peacefully with our ancestors. A'ho all my sisters.🖤🤎❤
I hope you read this. But in my darkest moment...your music helped give me strength... Blackfoot tribe....and in today's insanity...peace can be found thanks to you. I appreciate it. --littlefeather
Wowwww, I loved it. You have a great voice :) I really do not know the meaning of it and other Native American songs but I like listening them. I always feel good because of Native music. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you Shelley for being the strong woman that you are I-am sure that you’re love ed ones are proud of you as I am, thank you for being the person that you are, Glenn,T.
A strong woman indeed! I thought of my cousin Beth who just passed suddenly. She was strong and so kind. She is with the Great Ones now in the land of the rising sun.
My drum singing voice is ONLY good at high decibels, lower my voice cracks, how can I improve and how may I gain the confidence back for drumming and singing after a very destructive seperation where I endured years of psychological and emotional abuse, as well as spiritual.

I remember hearing a story about hand drums and singing. I heard from elder how he learned to sing was he sat on the ground outside and sang changing his tones to the shape of the mountains, like he said if he was looking at a certain peak that’s as taller or shorter then the next. He tried to match his tone from high to low according to the mountain landscape. I thought that was very interesting 😊
I love this song im learning my heritage cause i was adopted out an for some reason i sing along like i kno it an i kno nothing about our language but im FULLL BLOOD 100%NATIVE SIOUX LAKOTA from PINE RIDGE SDAKOTA
