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.
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.
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 💋

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
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!!
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 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!
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! : )
Very beautiful and soothing I also suffer from depression and this sound gives me much comfort and I so love the Natives culture and music one of my favorites is Fawn's music video Remember me so Comforting🌞 🙏🙌🙏✌
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. ✨
I'm a Haida woman and this song brings me peace and joy and every time I sing this song I get goosebumps every time I want to learn this song so I can sing it to my Haida Gwaii family
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
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.🖤🤎❤
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.
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. Niawen & Nakurmik - Kataui / Chloe of Inuu & Mohawk nations
Anyone know who brought this song back to us from the ancestors? I keep asking around but no one seems to know. I’ve heard it over 2 decades now so it has to be older.
It was made in P.4.W as commonly known or prison for women in Kingston. Strong women song was made and sung first by some sisters in the penitentiary in the late eighties.
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. 🖤
me too
Sending you love sister

Do not worry stay strong. Don't let them break you're spirit.

Does this make anyone else incredibly emotional?
Very, but in a good way. Like an ancestoral calling
Yes

One year ago, I learned that I'm Native American. Now, I'm trying to get connected with the culture and learn the history.

How do you learn your Native American
Those of us who have lost our culture for whatever reason will always find their way back if they are meant to
