I am Lakota, Heavy Falls is my name, and we performed a Sundance in the South Dakota Blackhills, I am happy to see that people are enjoying our traditional music, we are all brothers and sisters in the Lakotas eyes. Anpetu Was'te Yuha ye, Wopila
It is so wonderful for me to see and hear the Lakota People ín their tradition. I hope you can protect all your tradition. I send all my blessings to you all. Have a good time and may all turn better for you.
In my prayers Grace. Keep smiling and Represent my friend represent. You’re all that’s left you say. Make em proud and carry your name proud and strong. Our creator, our helpers Grace are ALWAYS listening to us…always. And so are your parents. Remember this. Your thoughts and prayers are very powerful my friend. I wish you the best and my prayers go out to you. Your never alone Hoka 🤙🏾✌🏾
When I hear these songs brings back so many memories of when my dad used to Sundance. Right now he's in the hospital having trouble breathing. Please keep my papa in you're prayer's.
May creator watch over him and heal him. He's a Sundancer, he has a certain powful strength. We dance to suffer only for brief period. That ready us, keeps us strong on our paths/journey in life. Prayers🖤❤💛🤍
This song is so much more than I can believe it.i kept this song special .I listened everyday of my life.and I healed with this song .and my son came back safe and sound I love you .
I have danced for 4 days and nights fasting in the sacred sundance altar for 16 times. Sundance has always been my entire life. I'm so fortunate to have had Martin High Bear as my mentor so many decades ago in these ways. Martin was color blind, in that he loved people of all colors. Very gentle, traditional medicine man, an authentic healer and sundance chief.
I have not been allowed to even witness the ceremony. I have known since I was 3 years old that I was one of the people. I have never had a mentor, I had to learn all things on my own. I see everyone as a reflection, and have become color blind, as a result. I would love to spend the rest of my life with “The People”. I could then be truly at peace.
Remove the I : Ego Replace with We : our hearts & the heart of the creator as one. Then You'll never feel separate, You walk with those intentions You'll never fall off the Red road.
My dad runs a Sundance, he drinks heavily through the year and only sobers up with enough time to run it. I stopped going because of that, and its hurt me spiritually. I haven't been able to find one on my own because I dont have the connections. I miss these songs. I dream of them and hear them in my head when I'm struggling. I grew up with these songs, I think this video is a gift. I've gone too long without hearing these ceremonial songs and my life lacks without them. Thank you for this video.
hi Miranda .The songs keep me here and I read your words and listen to your heart.My father was a alcholoic too .He tought me a great deal about our history.Many people took him serious annd many did not because of his drinking.I use to take the bus when i was little just to get away and would find myself at pow wows.I was 11 at the time.The drum callled me then the songs come with it.Follow your heart little one.
Miranda.....I saw you here, and your message moved me, so I wanted to say, I hope you find someone else to do the Ceremony for you, like , where does David Swallow Jr. do the Ceremony?? Try to get get connected with him and Nyla Helper....Pray that your dad is able to give up the bottle...
Miranda...I just thought of something John Trudell said about the "drunken Indian".....being the one thing responsible for the Native American culture and way of life being preserved and protected for future generations.....It's because of THEM.....who came out of a very hard time....(your dad's generation)...because they REFUSED TO BECOME "WHITE"....even though they were told they could "not be Indian"........so , they decided to just wear a "disguise"...a "mask", just to get by , to do their time, and not ever give in to the white man's ways....of thinking , and doing, so they had only the alcohol to keep them going, it was a way of preserving their identity......I met a few of the older Natives who were from that generation, Vietnam vets... hard core drinkers to be sure....but at the same time, they are/ were some of the most beautiful and strong hearted, generous, kind, loving people on this Earth ....So, don't feel bad about your Dad..Try to understand why the drinking was the only way he could deal with the pain of the abusive system that he had to fight so hard against for so many years .....He did it for you.......so you could have the "real culture" for yourself, and your own kids to follow you, even if he was not able to live that kind of a Spiritual life as a younger man...He runs the Ceremony still?? If you are dreaming about it, and you hear the Songs, it means the Spirits are telling you to get to the Ceremony....so .. YOU GO, GIRL... ...You have a way to heal your own pain, and to help him with his Healing too...Don't miss that chance of a Lifetime....Life is WAY TOO SHORT ....... and to miss out on that , is a tragedy.....and you will regret it forever........
We are not of this world. So we can't be judge by by the things of this world. Your dad is a ceremonial man. He is judge by his spiritual world which is totally different from this place we are in. Prayers for him for health reason caused by drinking. Because I feel he should stick around with us longer to continue to pass these ways down.
so much drama in here, c'mon guys this is a sacred song, you all are adults, I'm only 14 and I know better than starting drama under a video that contains sacred songs, open your eyes and look at what you're doing, tunkasila gave me a dream to be a leader and my #1 role model just recently passed I don't know how to do this on my own and I'm falling off the red road but I'm still going, as a teenager it's really hard to stay on task with a bunch of adults that don't know how to keep their shit straight and show respect. the world we have today is very pitiful.
Hi Jada, Are you still there ? You must be 15 now ? I'd like to tell you your Tunkasila was right about you , that you can be a leader which is an enormous responsability and I know you must feel very lonely . But please , NEVER give up, surround yourself with trusted friends and family (you say Tiyuspaye,which is one word we express in english in many more and is only a description of the meaning) . I believe your leadership is essentially in transmitting your culture , related to your language ,dances , ceremonies and I must forget a few others . Unfortunately I live in Europe and have never seen your place, but I did in docs ... Life is tough for you , I've seen it , as I read your comment I have a feeling you are a tough girl, too ! Lots of luck to you , Jada .
Every day you walk are choices, Jada. Keep walking with good intent and with humility and eagerness to be better. the red road sometimes is wider than at other times.. and i was once told it is only as hard as you make it.. as wide and as narrow as you make it.. every day there are choices to make, and mistakes will be made..willingness to learn and to grow and help others is that good way. we all have bad days, but as long as you get up when you fall, and keep walking.. this is that life walk.
just keep up the beautiful and hard good work u do ...and u will never be let down ...the Grandfathers will always hear your prayers.....no prayer ever goes unanswered....keep your Spirit strong by staying connected to and with the Ceremonies...listen to what the elders say .they have the Knowledge to share...and the wisdom to share it with you.....It's a precious and special Gift from the Spirit World , (your Dreams)..so pay close attention to what they have to teach and reveal to you....
A Sundancer for 28 years AIM Pipestone then at American Horse/ Afraid of Horse at Hot Springs . I have not been for 5 years. I am 72 and this recording is bringing me such comfort and Joy WOPILA ! Chante Pierce
I have so much confusion n silent chaos sometimes I cry myself to sleep but I listen to these songs and pray waiting for creator to tell me it will be OK and that he took care of it all. I can't wait for Sundance this year
Brother Your words open my heart, along with these medicine songs!! AHO !! I was surprised to find this site with these prayer songs!! It is a blessing to hear these songs again , to my heart, to my spirit, to the human beings, & for all living things!! Aho!! MITAKUYE OYASIN !! I am an old man now, a Longtime Sundancer, with few steps left in this bodies journey , and these songs make my feet & legs move & my spirit soar!!! Aho!
Im part ojibwe, n scandinavian Much love n respect to all Lakota. I went there back in 2007ish and i learned about who they are and were and ever since then ive been obsessed, my mother taking me there and hearing the stories and being exposed to them was the best thing that ever happened to me in my life. strangely and for some unknown reason the black hills n bad lands have been stuck in my heart and i cannot stop taking about it. I cannot wait to see it again and pay respect to that great land and its amazing people.
I am an indian ... Born in india.. Far from Cheyenne or Lakota or any other Native American tribe but I feel connected ... Watch Native movies listen to all the songs ... Wish to learn the language as well ... God bless all my brother's and sisters here.... 🙏
HAHAHAHA He is TURBAN, not TIPI!!!! dot not feather. First Nations from the "americas" are NOT INDIANS. colombo was EFFING LOST and thought he was in INDIA.
Our songs and ceremonies, no matter which tribe we are from, are powerful and healing. If non native enjoy and appreciate our ways, they are most welcome to listen to the songs and watch the dances….
Здравствуй, незнакомец. В 2021 году я заболел ковидом. Очень сильно. Когда я лежал в больнице, я молился НЕБУ. Если позвать Большую Силу и попросить для себя немного, вдруг она услышит. Я почему-то вспомнил БИЗОНА TATANKA. Я позвал ЕГО. Потом меня вылечили и сейчас я здоров. Выздоравливай, мой незнакомый друг. Я из России.🖐️🙏
Im native american... yes these songs are traditional and sacred. Just like how you are not supposed to take pictures or film do to Respect n the sundancers. But i dont see the harm in people wanting to listen or learn sundance songs from people that record it on their own time. Thats what our native people are for standing together not being selfish. Telling each other u cant do this or that. Were all brother n sister in the creator eyes.
For those preparing for Hemblaciya,,,Sundance and, Sacrifice,,,,,,May the elders sit and dance beside you and,may you have strong visions,,,,,,,, Mitakuye Oyasin
I am Navajo and Ute. And proud to be. June 14 is when my father left this earth and so of my birthday. I was dealing with the demon of alcohol ... but family and songs have brought me back and hope to continue this journey..thank youso much for great songs of life..🙏
I'm a recovered alcoholic been sobered 21 years , and though I have very little native blood way back in 1784 or something one of my mother's relatives married a native lady. But these native songs and prayers were crucial in my early recovery and I still use them today when I need a spiritual punch. God bless you and remember to be willing to be willing 💪
Soon you will be reborn as he is in spirit so shall all tribe's be reunited in spirit and walk in heavenly places.This I have seen.I am Screaming Eagle 🦅 and the Sun is my Spirit guide and truth speaker. For all Yah Hay Wah Hay his heavenly name .Rev7-17 and Isaiah 22-22 is who I am in the spirit world. ❤❤❤to all tribes.
don't take this down please.. it's helping my healing and journey on the red road.. lila wopila. I'm from green grass South Dakota.. this brings my spirit to its roots...
Everyone understands that we do not take pictures or record the ceremonies themselves. But our Sundance’s are fading away slowly but surely from lack of responsibility or malpractice. I no longer have anywhere to go for Sundance, and feel wholeheartedly reassured that I can learn these songs here. Thank you.
Mixing Medicine Has Created A Burden On The Sundance Nation And All The Other People Are From Outside Are Struggling As Well If i had one wish I would wish for The Pipes to be Returned and That the Lakota Sundance Leader's Would. Go Up And Build A New Alter Away From Everything and Do What They Have Other's Do, 4 days Alone With Nothing Else Except Conversation With Creator. But sitting and waiting for other's to do this and receive information is not helping. Hynblecheya, Sundance as everyone else might have an important as a Leader Leads Others will follow. My last wish is that Creator would help them gather together and build their Families and Let The Ceremonies come back to them to help them find some Answers. Image the world is full of people who have been given Chanupa and I know personally that this is a dangerous situation and I RETURNED the Chanupa and it was the Right thing to do. Take Time To Pray for yourself and Those You Love!
I’m Lakota and my family has gone to Sundance many years. My father, grandfathers, cousins and everyone in between knows someone who sundances. South Dakota natives have many people who Sundance every year, beautiful thing to be apart of ❤️
AHOOooo' I grew up on these sundance songs (I am Ndeh tribe San Carlos) in the Inipi ceremonies here in California. The red road way is so beautiful, the best medicine is all the brothers of all bands, nations and even our Mexica relations singing these songs in prayer, together, united. Our community here in northern California is blessed to have so many come together in a good way, we have bear dancers, miwok roundhouse dancers, big-head kuksumoki, sundancers, Aztec dancers, all nations coming together every week and offering up these songs TOGETHER. A brother of mine who led the dance troop Aztec out here finished his 4th year sundancing and it brings so much joy to see leaders step out into our communities in this way. Much love to my Sundance family and brothers that travel with these songs, our people need to heal and UNITE. ALLLLLL MY RELATIONS! AHO.
CA is my birthplace...and where I spent most of my life.....I am happy to hear that so many people have come together there for Ceremony.....I miss the Land, as I live in France now, where the people here have a great love and respect for the Native American people because they remember back when they had good relations with the Native people of the USA ....back in the Fur Trade days, many inter-marriages occurred , and so , today we have many Native people with French names, like "John Trudell".....
Tim McCarthy ...John trudell was a great man and teacher for me...especially in his very clear exposition of..the tribes of Europe..very CLEARING on the raping of the tribal mindset of pre-Christian Europe...my d.n.a is 97% Irish...I was born in Australia..my father was Irish and all my ancestors on my mother’s family came out to Australia during the potato famine/genocide..my name is Brendan Carey...my y tube name should tell you where I stand with regards my universal identity..spiritual knowing...I was impressed with your comments on this post..the big..bigger picture...aho! brother.safe passage
Hayo, I too lived in northern California, butte county! Maidu area! Currently in east AZ. Ceremony not practiced here in Colorado river area! I can't find ceremonys, only pow wow! I know of only one in org ! I would like to find more! I used to attend charles fasthorse's Sundance! but he has passed on now! I do miss all the healing! Wish I could find another one! Mitaky yay
I’m 14 and I go to Sundance every year with my family. Its so sad I didn’t get to go this year because of covid but I love listening to these it’s almost like I’m there
Sad, the Sundance I go to takes precautions in COVID, but SUNDANCE keeps on. No cook shack. Head temperatures check. No pipes smoked between people, only people the person with the pipe wish’s to smoke with. Problem is singers.
I’m dealing with hypomania right now, my borderline personality disorder issues and these songs really heal my trauma. Give me strength to move and join those on the red road to wellbriety and stoke the fire within and support those that I love. Carry my eagle feather and fan.
I wish you peace and hope you feel better. My daughter struggles with BPD. A dear friend of mine, who had only been recently been diagnosed, committed suicide in June. Please take care of yourself and always ask for help if you feel overwhelmed.
@specialdjonthat scares me cuz of how close i have felt like that coming off being polydrugged. Struggling right now n scared. Theres not much they can do they just put me 9n an antidepressant but today my thoughts n crying scared me.
@@nativechique7589 It's unfortunate, but with the way medicine is today, you almost have to fight for your health. Don't be afraid to speak up, and tell them the meds aren't working. Don't be silent. Talk. Talk. Talk. Express. Draw. Paint. Make music. Dance. Yell at the sky. I write poetry and make music. It feels good, heals. When those dark feelings run inside of you, slow down. Find a quiet place or any place where you sit up with your feet on the floor. Close your eyes, breathe in and out. Let those ill thoughts run, but you sit quietly. It may take half an hour, but you sit there. In time, the darkness will pass.
Omg your last name is Taken Alive! He was friends with Crazy Horse. Joseph Marshall III books are so good. Taken Alive’s name is mentioned in Hundred in the Hand , The Long knives are Crying and the journey of Crazy Horse I think he’s in that one too. But he was killed at the battle of Greasy Grass, right?
I lost two sons seven years ago. One died of natural causes the other was a Marine who was killed in a hit and run. I had relatives sing these songs at their funerals. My mother was recently taken by the covid and we didn't get to have these sung at her funeral due to that virus.
I love the songs...it uplifts me while I'm walking around...and many many moons of Sundance,my teachers are gone...but I keep the teachings in my heart ...I sing the songs for all my family who are lost..humbling and very proud to be indigenous!!! Love these songs..
This will be my first year to sundance. I am praying everday for an open heart and ears to listen to what creator has to teach me to help our people. Wado
wakan tanka ,ni'ta can'te iche'la wan'bla'ke.!!! the great spirit only see your heart.wanbli oka'sa mi'yelo .my name is soaring eagle. wa'cek'ya'po.!!!!!! keep praying. relatives.!!!!!!! tok'sa ake'kte'lo. until we meet again.!! ha'ho.!!!
Thank you for giving people that don't have access to ceremonial communities a way to keep this alive in their hearts and sing along with you all. I am practicing now to go support Sundance humble it and I'm just a white lady born in Washington DC and without you I would not be ready. WOPILA FOR BEING BRAVE REGARDLESS OF THE HEATED OPINIONS BECAUSE THIS IS NECESSARY AND I'M SO PROUD OF YOU FOR SETTING THE SPIRIT FREE AND WALKING THROUGH ALL THOSE OPINIONS YOU HAVE TO LIVE UNDER THE weight of
As a sundance and helper, I have listened to the teachings and our laws. We had to hide our ways but no more. Many rainbow children are waking up to our visions and ways. We cannot hide behind colonial oppression and fear of past history. We are the bridge. Celebrate! Be respectful! Hiy hiy
@@thunderwolf5969 I’d you’re not Hopi that would be potentially true for YOU. Many Plains Nations elders have recognized the truth and wisdom in that prophecy and agree with it. And at this time, if our many nations do NOT band together with all the others to heal this earth help usher in a new time, the two leggeds will be SOL, and many many beautiful species of animal, plant, fungus, will go extinct and disappear forever. So choose to be salty and closed-up, or choose to live in the present and put down past grievances with other Turtle Island and worldwide indigenous peoples to fix this mess. I choose to fight and acknowledge that Creator speaks to many other nations on TI and has shared many prophecies among all different nations, so that we may all live. Together So our people may live!
I'm Italian, I live on the other side of the world, but in the 80's two medicine-men taught to a friend of mine the knowledge of their tradition, today this man is my guide and he's teaching me to walk the red path. I'm not a Lakota, I'm not a native American, but I feel a deep connection with the spiritual traditions of your land, not only with the native peoples of North America, but with the traditions of the people of all your continent. Do not be angry too if not natives want to learn from you, despite the difficulties you are able to keep the ancient knowledge of your ancestors, we have snatched him away, but as you Lakota say: Mitakuye Oyasin ... and it's true! ! I am deeply grateful to your people because thanks to you I have been researching and rediscovering the traditions of what was once my people and that about 2,000 years ago saw eradicate his traditions and his identity by an invader people and a religion imposed, i'm rediscovering the link with Mother Earth and all its elements, i'm rediscovering my essence. ... Listen to these sacred songs are for me a spell, even if I do not understand a word, the only vibration brings me into your world, makes me change my state of consciousness and for this I am grateful! So THANK YOU, thank you with all my heart !!!!
I just read your comment and I feel just the same way ! I am Dutch , live in France since 39 years and happened to be in Washington DC on July 15 , 1978 ! The most impressive gathering I have ever seen in my life . Ever since I feel a connection to Maka Wakan and lately began to read more about Lakota spirituality , and really am intented to follow the wisdom . Lila wopila for your ways . You are inspiring ! Ester .
I just finished my 4 years commitment this summer. I have a native great-grandmother and found my way to these Ceremonies by the grace of the ancestors. I was blessed to be taken in the Sundance by Mi'kmacs of Canada's East Coast even if I am for all purposes a white man. I pray with my Pipe almost every day and say thank you to the spirits and ancestors for all that I have received. And listening to these songs, I am so grateful :-) And they are the exact same songs we sing :-) I am grateful for the continuity of the Ceremony. For All my Relations.
Sébastien Matte Myself as well. I am a Sundancer from the Blue Mountains. Total white girl. I love the Red road. It is my way of life. Very humble to have wonderful teachers. These songs touch the soul. Blessings to all🙏🏼❤️🔑
y'all wouldn't be allowed In our Sundance that's white man sundance up that way I guess y'all stay up that way FYI first song is southern Cheyenne calling song fuckin Sioux shouldn't even been posting that song but they don't care they sell there ways to anyone bunch of sell outs...real Sundancer southern Cheyenne dog soldier southern paint...
Good expression bro! I've been to meetings with Eugene Blackbear Jr. around Concho. My childhood friend has been wanting me to dance at concho, he's a priest (Lizard Clan)
lizard is Arapaho paint it's strong paint but concho in my opinion is way to close to that casino and to the road and they try to show it off it's not meant to be shown off I go to seiling Oklahoma Sundance it's hidden away from white people we had a few show up this year us society members chased them off with willow switches and they ran screaming like some hoes lol but hey I have great respect for blackbear family they really know there shit and lizard paint is hard to earn I know him as well much respect to him and u aho stay blessed
My heart sors when I hear these song's. I remember one summer when it was so hot it was 117 in the shade. And with the fire just out side of the arbor of the rest area. And they dug holes to cool off in. I am blessed that I was adopted by my family of 3 families. I always! Ask the creator to bless all my relatives in the 4 directions amd for the 3 families that adopted my family. Creator bless us all.
Grew up in Valentine. Spent my summers on the Rosebud. Rosebud, Parmalee, St. Francis, I remember old man Whiteings store. And Pattsy Anne Valandra. Lol Good memories.
I am Sicangu and Onondaga. For 23 years I was either disconnected or felt like I was going to be scolded when I'm in traditional spaces. Now I found a Tiospaye that is open and I'm learning songs and helping in sundance with little to no fear. Traditions find us, and deep down we all know what to do.
To the brother who is suffering because of his father's drinking. I'll tell you what Martin Highbear told me when I was suffering; Take it to the Hill 🙏
CD'S and cassettes are sold in stores EVERDAY with these songs. here the people get to listen for free. my grandsons are learning to sing these songs from this video. I am teaching them to speak Lakota and they want to learn more and more because of videos like these. LEAVE THESE VIDEOS ALONE.
If you are Native you should know better. If you are Native have an elder teach them their language. If you are not Native you have no right what so ever to order anyone to keep these songs up. If you are not Native you are showing yourself to be just another descendent of those who have taken almost everything from Native people. You want to claim everything for yourself and your children. Creator judges...it wont be pretty.
@@willaellis2914 you judge too , I hear it, the harsh sound of condemnation and doom in your voice.......you are acting JUST like the christians who tried so hard to kill off your own culture , and failed.... Still, it's not so easy now to just "get an elder to teach the kids " their language.....BTW .in regards to your little threat, as you mentioned being "judged" by Creator.........Great Spirit or "Creator"... is NOT "a judge"....that phony concept of "GOD" is a TOTALLY christian concept.....based on english court rule, and dealing with the decrees of kings, queens etc.....and the official court system that has been used for centuries to repress people and punish people......or even kill people...if those people were those who displeased the court........The Spirit World, is NOT "a place" owned and operated by Natives only...and there is NO SIGNS on the door saying "NO WHITES ALLOWED INSIDE"....The guy you were so busy putting down as if he was actually the evil Custer himself......was simply trying to state that he was getting benefit from this vid and his kids and grandkids too, as they were now learning the songs....for free.......so what is WRONG WITH THAT?WTF?? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU ....that you need to come down on people like a ton of bricks?Are you so full of hate in your heart for the "white" people, that the Sun Dance has taught you NOTHING about love and forgiveness???? Forgiveness is the ONLY WAY you will be allowed to enter into the Spirit World.......so do it now, before you "go"....it's a lot easier that way...Once you leave your body, it's SO MUCH harder to change..because you cant go back and try to make right all that needs to be made right, and you cant go back to tell people you are sorry, or that you love them....once you go , it's too late for all that....That is what "hell " truly is....not being able to go back and change things for the better....it causes great suffering, great sorrow.........No judges...no BS ..no court trial......You are your own judge and jury......YOU .......walk the path of the Spirit World Journey...YOU make your own path in the Spirit World by the steps you take today and every day in this life..........Where it goes, is up to you..Because now you are free to choose......between the path of love, and the path of hate..If you have any little shreds of racist attitudes, inside your heart, you will not be allowed to enter the Spirit World in a good way..the Old Woman at the Rainbow Bridge will see it inside of you...and she will kick you off the bridge........and you will have to come back here again to get it right..
@@timmccarthy3034 Are you telling me that rebirth is part of traditional Lakota beliefs? Because that last sentence in your comment makes it sound that way.
@@Serjo777 I will say only this, that in the traditional view, the way of understanding the Sacred Ways of Knowledge of many tribes, that, yes, the"Spirit lives on forever".....and, as it is told by the Elders, the Spiritual leaders, the Ceremonial leaders , and the Medicine People, they all say the same thing, in all the tribes, that, "Those who have gone on, are still here"........and, "YES ......we do go through many lives"....and that......"Death is only a transition, from one life that leads us to the next"..These are not my words, they are the exact words, the Sacred Teachings that I have heard them say, to instruct, and share , for all of us to know and understand clearly....the true reality of "Life and Death"..........The Christian way , is that "this life" , is the ONLY life we will ever get to have, and once we die, we are DONE.. ( way too harsh, too cruel, too scary , and way too judgmental , in the Native way of understanding Reality of Life and Death.. ...as the "Great Spirit" of All Life, is not an angry, vengeful, spiteful, judgmental male "God", that we need be VERY VERY afraid of)..........and so, in their way, we really do "die"..... and "that's it" for us, and after that, just like in court, we stand before the judge, where, he looks at all our deeds, etc, that he kept track of , all recorded , written down, in a very big, golden covered book, that he keeps right next to his big throne, and of course , Jesus is there too, hanging out, but saying nothing.... whereupon we are then "judged" , without mercy, and duly "sentenced", to either go off immediately, to "Heaven" , to float around on a cloud, like way, way out someplace, far, far away from the Earth, and far away all our Relatives, where we must sing praises forever and ever , with the angels, to "God", and "Jesus", etc......."forever.".........( and that is a LONG time to be singing ), etc.. , or we get sent off to "Hell"....to be burned alive in searing hot fire, and tortured by evil demons, etc...... again, "forever."...I was forced as a child, and all my youth, to go to Catholic schools, and this is what I was taught, so I am not making this up here..THIS is what they really believe is reality.....BOTH "Heaven" and "Hell", in this way of believing, actually, seem to be a rather scary, horrid , and bleak , gloomy prospect of our own eternity......and this is what we call, in the Native way , a "wrong teaching".......because it teaches us to be VERY VERY afraid, afraid of our own "Death".....afraid of our own destiny, our own reality.........Being afraid of our own Death, is like being afraid of Birth....They are just 2 sides of the same door...... What we need to know, is the "Spirit World" , and this "physical" World , are BOTH CONNECTED..like up and down, back and front, black and white, yin and yang, heads and tails...........NOT separate.....You cannot have the one without the other existing...like the Earth, and space...They " coexist", at the same time, side by side, "connected"..They are in fact, ONE EXISTENCE...I have experienced the true "Reality" of the Spirit World, after my wife went on her own Spirit World Journey..7 yrs ago.........Many times, and in many ways, she has shown to me , directly, and in amazing and remarkable ways, that she STILL LIVES ......RIGHT HERE......on the EARTH...No one ever really "dies".....just as proven modern science teaches, that all matter and energy, too, is never "lost", it only "changes from one form to another"........"Heaven" and "Hell".....are not separate places, mysteriously someplace far, far away......They are both RIGHT HERE ........ON THIS EARTH..........They are the reality of the eternal legacy we leave behind us, as we leave our own body behind....We "create" our OWN Heaven or Hell, right here , on Earth, as we live our lives, by all we think, say and do......then, we experience that "creation", as a learning tool.....and, as what we must experience...just like looking into the mirror... seeing all that we did, for good or ill, either done out of pure love and beauty, compassion, and forgiveness, or done out of greed, anger, jealousy, and violence, ( we make our own "choices" in life)...... We experience all we did, in life, after we "die".......As John Trudell , being a Lakota, who had Traditional values and a high degree of wisdom , knowledge, intelligence and understanding of "REALITY".......said, very truly, and wisely, "Without Earth, there is no Heaven"......We live , we "exist", as Spirits, in the Spirit World, right here , together, with All our Relatives, until "the time is right" for us to be born again, into another life, in whatever form that may be for us.
I feel much better, I have had this album for 50 years, loved hearing it in my home. Thank you everyone who preserved these songs and singer and drummers.
Love this , thank you for sharing . Honestly if the Grandfathers and Grandmother's didn't approve of this recording ...it would not be on here right now . Perhaps the Creator saw that it's needed by many for a great time of healing . Just listen with respect . I for one , appreciate this ...especially when you don't have a singer in your sacred circle . Hiy! Hiy ! 💚🌈⚡🌞🐎
When I attended a Sundance as a support person in 1999 I thought it would be the end of the world as we know it soon. Who would have thought it would be in 2020 instead? Iiii-EEEEEEyyyaaaaa hahahaha!!!! 🤣Thank you posting this and keep up the faith. These are some of the very exact Holy songs I remember. We are the bridge between heaven and earth; time is now. ☀🌲🌲🌲🌲🦌🦌🌧🌈❤
I will listen for natures voice on the path. I am aware now of the power of dance and song. I will listen with my heart and spirit. I have emptied my need for the industries noise and poison. my body is cleansed of all tobbaco, alcohol, drugs, artificial sugar processed foods, caffeine and medication. I hear your voice now clearer than ever. the road has been difficult. life is not easy grandfather but I thank you for allowing me to struggle and to feel pain and anguish. I know you love me. I was too blind to see my path. I was weak and full of fear. I have allowed others to influence my thoughts and ideas that were not my own. I know better grandfather and I will listen to your voice from now til the great suns fades and begins anew. my body has become stronger than I would have never have imagined. my eyes have become sharp and I don't require glasses anymore. I have discovered how to clear my Water grandfather. thank you. I am ready to take my journey on the Red Road.
Black Wolf Life is so beautiful. to know i have made mistakes, i am not perfect but still our grandfather loves me. ive promised my mother i would prosper as i take her black blood... and still i have not prospered. our mother cries as i promise to be healthy and still others are not. now our mothers cries! she shakes in anger and sickness and still i take... "i am sorry mother. i did not know as your son. i feel your pain mother and i will be stronger now for you because i have made my promises to our grandfather."
I am from Germany. I stay for two times in Montana to do the sun dance. So I now these songs and I am happy to hear this. Sorry for my bad englisch. There are many storys here und a lot of lovefull answers. Thank you all for this. There ist a lot off Respekt in my mind for all of you and your and your family storys. Be prowd and go go back to the roots. Thank you .
When I first met my gf we went to a Sundance and I still can’t get over that overwhelming feeling I got when looking at her from across the arbor; such scared memories.
@@margaretburns5468 You welcome, I must admit that it's my pleasure to meet you and steak your attention also, it's was a wonderful holidays for me except celebrating it without my kids in the state due to the nature of my job ..So tell me how's your weather condition out there and do you've clue of how long this page has been created because am clueless about technic online .!! If I May ask where are you located ?..
My aunty is a warrior at the sundance I love to go to the sundance, I go every year with my family, and I also am a sage girl and I help drumming ,my sundance is called Keith chiefmoons sundance and my other sundance is called morises sundane😊
Hearing these songs always reminds me that the real sundance is everyday and I need to strive to do my best for all my relations always. Life in this modern world seems like it's always trying to knock me off track but the red road is always calling me back. Wopila Mitakuye Oyasin
I just burned sage and cedar my family and I myself are going through trials. My heart needs peace and this beautiful song has led me too it thank you creator for always watching over me and my family
Please keep these videos coming and on TH-cam and other channels it’s healing people all over the world various races backgrounds all over the world need this music and all to heal . Make the creator proud share it. ❤❤❤
As a mikmaq who has trusted the sundance teachings to the Lakota people.. Thank you very much, you are forever in my prayers and in the rhythm of my drum and the sweat that drips on it... Please keep this video up, I know it's sacred.. But it really helps my baby sleep at night
They said the Sundance wasn’t a Mikmaq ceremony, so I packed my bags and headed to South Dakota to Sundance with my brothers and sisters .. Blessings ever since HOKA ONE HEART ONE MIND
Привет вам, незнакомцы. Я люблю ваши песни, танцы, я люблю вашу культуру. Когда я был маленьким, вы забрали моё сердце😊 Таменунд, Понтиак, Текумсе, Ташунка Витко, Рассел Минс. Я знаю ещё имена. Я читал книги о вас. Я читал книгу Леонарда Пелтиера и другие книги. Это хорошо, что вы идёте по дороге своих предков. Я желаю вам победы. Я люблю вас. Я из России.
Han mitakuyepi illiana emaciyapi. Hello all my relatives my name is illiana I am a 12 year old girl and I'm proud to be Lakota I grew up on these songs I know all the words to them and I am going to be a sundancer next year thank you for these songs.
Love to hear this. Love to feel the energy. I welcome the great spirit. I am not native American but I am still a warrior. I am a marine veteran! Oooooorah!
We need to stop fighting the fake wars our Govt puts us in. You deserve to defend us from those who "govern" us. We support you, we pray for this. Why fight to defend an oppressive system? Fight the system to save the people! This I pray for you and every military service man and woman to realize. 9/11 was an inside job and we should not be manipulated to join the military just to get an education or have better healthcare, that's called slavery.
It's really hard to come back to the city after sundance. I'd rather stay on the rez but my winyan wants to stay close to her parents and she's got a good job with excellent insurance (which she needs) so moving up there is pretty unlikely. I know some say these songs shouldn't recorded, and to tell the truth I really don't know if it's right or wrong, but I can say hearing them and singing along helps me a lot. Especially right now when we've just gotten back from our wiwang wacipi. We live in one of the roughest parts of the hood and are surrounded by addiction, violence, and negativity. These songs, working in the garden, and watching the birds are definitely the medicine I need today. Wopila tanka!
Hallo Freunde meine Tochter Blume die im Wind Tanzt u. Ihr Vater Ossy Tanzen gerne mit Euch den Sundance.Unsere Herzen u.unser Geist sind immer mit Euch.
Thank you for this sacred song. I am from the U.K and although my country and many others across the world have lost the ability and inclination to connect to the Earth through singing and prayers , I fully believe that tribal people across the globe are keeping us all going. So thanks to the Lakota and all Native Americans, Aborigines and tribal people everywhere..........Where would we all be without you. Carry on singing ..........and keep the world spinning.
@@hypnotherapycwcalm down they tried to come in the best way they could. Acknowledge that and stop expecting everyone including yourself to be perfect.
@@hypnotherapycw lol once again calm down. These songs are sacred songs you don't need to be acting like this under these songs. Your not a gatekeeper nor a teacher. So calm down and relax.
@@hypnotherapycw tell me what type of life or death distress did you Sundance over? Now days you all Sundance for show not because a super serious situation has arised. Now you all beg for money to run your sundances. I only know of one true Sundance the old way everything else is modernized and new age with new rules. You guys think sundances is a right of passage. It isn't. It's something holy and sacred for those in serious distress over life or death matters. Our people today don't suffer like our ancestors. So again. Tell me me or ill for ever see you as a "I did for show" fraud ass ndn. If you wanted to try and test my courage and strength you should of asked me how many times did I go off with out gelling anyone n go fast and how many times did I cut my own flesh by myself. Now days almost nobody goes and fasts on their own or cut their own flesh. Even on bear butte there will be a bunch of ppl fasting in the same area at the same time. Bunch of followers and not enough leaders and that's why our people are stuck the way they are. Calling me a white man because your in these comments acting like a little shit kid being disrespectful then want to ask me how many times I did a sacred ceremony all in the same argument. You already showed your character and someone like you would only bring bad into that big lodge especially talking like that. Tryna ask me something holy like it's a competition smh that's why so many things go wrong for the people cuz people like you who have no business in those ceremonies are allowed to. Your probably one of those dumbasxes that think medicine men have power. Lmao 🤣 pry one of those Lebeau followers all bad or a nathan chasing horse cult follower. N if your not Lakota Dakota or nakota or from their stock then Sundance is NOT your culture. Everyone now days wants to share ceremonies like us indigenous people are a monolith. Now I tell you little spirit, go on in a good way. And stop making your ancestors ashamed and embarrassed by the way you carry yourself.
@@hypnotherapycw in your own words to Titus Begay. "A TRUE DANCER WOULD NEVER BRAG ABOUT THESE THINGS" thank you for exposing yourself as not a true dancer.
Wakan tanka! These songs are sacred don’t argue! I’m a 12 year old and I am correcting you! I was recently at Sundance these songs were all played! The Sundance I go to is Sisseton South Dakota it’s very nice I supported my brother for his first time but he fainted and had a heat stroke and a seizure and it was my first time seeing that but it made me stronger just wanted to share that! I love all my ancestors!❤️😞 Just wanted to let u know if that ever happens breath I freaked out but still always know everyone out their in that circle is praying for him so he’s same! Just wanted to share that and give u advise! Ur really not supposed to record these songs.
your comment was 2 years ago, I'm listening to these songs just 4 days away from a big drum circle and protest of a pipeline being built here in BC, Canada. it will go across many different reserves and territories. the drum circle is going to be held on coast salish territory. many band councils have decided to take the pipeline money. send us prayers
We are all human and answers are slow to come about our own self. Answers for the behavior of others, no matter how close, arrive even slower if at all. I cannot turn back because others have difficulty following the Way. I was going to run once and I had waking vision in my room. I saw Grampa in the Sundance, in the Sunlight, facing East, and I was not facing East, outside the Lodge, headed North into a forest. I grabbed my little girl, jumped into my GMC pickup and never stopped until we were at the Sundance Grounds and helped build it. A'hoo for the guidance from Above.
I grew up on these songs also!! I love seeing that im not the only one and i cant believe other sundances sing them! Who the hell was i to think my sundance was so special😂😂 no but this is so cool!! I grew up being told i was cherokee and turns out im not, im as European as it gets, my elisi (g-ma) adopted my mother, she infact cherokee and i grew up on the drum going to powwows every weekend grass dancing. Ive went thru 3 sets of regalia so far haha on my 4th right now i have yet to go out and dance again sense i found out i dont have a drop of cherokee let alone any other tribe in my blood. It kinda breaks my heart, cried to so many of my elders about it. Blah, life goes on.
Thank you for sharing these spiritual songs, I been dancing for a long time mostly in Arizona Casablanca Sundance. Not able to make it there this year instead going to Mexico to dance with our border brothers not sure what to expect but going with a good heart. The sundance songs helps take me back to ceremony and does me a lot of good. This was done in a good way for all to learn the meaning of this path. Thank you, Buffalo Horse White Mountain Apache. Aho.
There used to be a Sundance on the Navajo reservations that you can find going through Pinion Arizona. People from across the states would come see it, even people from Japan. hundreds of people showed up every year, and every year i would go. A few year vack there was a dispute with the families who ran it, and eventually they stopped hosting it. The location still stands, but never used again. I had planned to participate, myself, to be one of the dancers and get my first piercings, vut after the news, i felt that it jsut wasnt the same without the place i grew up being apart of.
this is a blessing. thank you for sharing our sacred songs sundancers for 2020 dance in your hearts. i close my eyes and visualize the dances and the spirit fills me with love then i turn into a big cry baby its beautiful.🌎💞💘🌈🌦🌪🌬🌞🔥
When i feel uncomfortable or scared or any bad energy or disrespected attacked i listen to this because its all i have to fall back on ..to..for security n i just pray 🙏 tell creator i give whats being done to me to him. I sometimes cant say my prayers when i want but i just get lost in these songs hanging onto them hoping n waiting creator will come take it all away or show me how to make it go away
I have haven't been to a Sundance since I was a young girl when they had at BIG MOUNTAIN LAKOTA SUNDANCE IN BIG MOUNTAIN arizona #RiPRobertaBlackgoat. Thank you for sharing these songs.
I remember hearing about that one....Ceilo Blackcrow I remember that name..from a while back....I remember the name Roberta Blackgoat....sorry to hear that she passed here..but she is in the Spirit World now...no more suffering..she's free to travel....
Hau Jamie, I went to the Big Mountain Sundance years ago in 1986. I recall hearing on the National evening new that Ms. Blackgoat ran off federal agents with a shotgun because she didn't want them stealing her land. When I arrived at the sundance past second Mesa and attended a sweat lodge ceremony I had seen the elder Blackgoat there and she to was a Sundancer there that year. Very spiritual place Big Mountain is.
I am close to the Mother Earth when I dance. I respect the Lakota for showing me the tradition of Sundance. I have many brothers and sisters whom I have been connected to through the Sundance ceremony. I am grateful for my life, and those whom are close to me in this life, too. I am alive, I am respectful to the wisdom I learned from my relatives. I have learned we are all related. We breath, we seek wisdom, nourish our bodies, and drink the water that we cannot live without! Aho! Medawkweasne!
Strange but indescibably beautiful. These chants take me on a journey. Where is it going? What is the next note? Is it up, is it down? Amazing! Maori from Aotearoa, New Zealand.
If i , as a proud member of the Eagle Society Sundance Family can be of service to the people either through my suffering at The Tree Of Life, or singing these songs . Then it shall be life.
Native people, you can be sure of the powers of yours chants and dances which I have experienced today : I had to meet a friend I had not seen for a long time, but at the last minute she asked me if I would like to come for lunch at her family, where I know nobody, in a very classy neighborhood where I never went to... I was quite nervous because I have always been fearful in such situation, heart beat accelerating, throat squeezing sensation, breathing cuts etc... I accepted, because I really want to grow and go beyond this problem that I have. On the way there, I played the songs of this video and sung as loud as I could, even though I do not understand what it means. And the magic happened: I was able to accept things and found myself much more at ease than I would have imagined, we talked about the respect of nature and how I was thinking we should start to turn our belief system and even our rituals towards those who have always loved nature and who have been defending nature over thousands of years and help them by our prayers and thoughts. Respect to all Native People and Cultures from a Caribbean man living in France.
wish i could have one day in my life to see this, but i live in in sweden. So i enjoy warching these dances and listening to the songs here on youtube and spotify
I'm of European descent. Nerweigian. Viking on both sides. My paternal side chose the piercing Sundance, following the teachings of Morris Crow Last Tail Feathers. I follow the path of the Buffalo, facing my storms head on knowing that it will be resolved sooner. Thank you.
These songs don't have to be at Sundances these songs can be sang anywhere in funerals or in other places my relatives taught me how the Sundance goes I'm apart the Sundance ahoo all my relations
I have always had a deep interest in this, since the age of fourteen or fifteen, when somebody first told me of it. When he taught of the Lakota traditions he helped to guide my path.
These songs are sacred. These things are not a tourist attraction or a Wild West Show. They are an evolution. They are earned and of the highest value and meaning. The medicine is for everyone in the Creation, true, but its never without a striving and a struggle. It comes at a price. That's how we learn to say our prayers, at last ... To become true human beings. Wouldn't take that journey away from someone else, even if I could ....

It is so wonderful for me to see and hear the Lakota People ín their tradition. I hope you can protect all your tradition. I send all my blessings to you all. Have a good time and may all turn better for you.
Love listening sundance songs pray for me only left in my family
In my prayers Grace. Keep smiling and Represent my friend represent. You’re all that’s left you say. Make em proud and carry your name proud and strong. Our creator, our helpers Grace are ALWAYS listening to us…always. And so are your parents.
Remember this. Your thoughts and prayers are very powerful my friend.
I wish you the best and my prayers go out to you.
Your never alone

😇❤ Trust God.
When I hear these songs brings back so many memories of when my dad used to Sundance. Right now he's in the hospital having trouble breathing. Please keep my papa in you're prayer's.
Dear Sister checking in with you for your Grampa are you okay?
May creator watch over him and heal him. He's a Sundancer, he has a certain powful strength. We dance to suffer only for brief period. That ready us, keeps us strong on our paths/journey in life.
Prayers🖤❤💛🤍
Try and look into hyrotaki and pao de arco. They both help breathing, hyrotaki alone improves breathing 300%
This song is so much more than I can believe it.i kept this song special .I listened everyday of my life.and I healed with this song .and my son came back safe and sound I love you .
I hope you Dad is ok
I have danced for 4 days and nights fasting in the sacred sundance altar for 16 times. Sundance has always been my entire life. I'm so fortunate to have had Martin High Bear as my mentor so many decades ago in these ways. Martin was color blind, in that he loved people of all colors. Very gentle, traditional medicine man, an authentic healer and sundance chief.
I have not been allowed to even witness the ceremony. I have known since I was 3 years old that I was one of the people. I have never had a mentor, I had to learn all things on my own. I see everyone as a reflection, and have become color blind, as a result. I would love to spend the rest of my life with “The People”. I could then be truly at peace.
@@tedclouse379Jesus loves you ❤❤❤
Where is it? I would like to dance. I did my first one in mexico. But feeling deeply to dance in North America. May I have the details please??
You mean instructor not mentor
I just returned from Sundance,this was my 15th year dancing in this sacred circle.Difficult returning to society.
This music is great ,thank you for sharing. Cheers from San Diego and you ???
Why Is too difficult returning ti society? I feel the same.
Don't return. Stay
Remove the I : Ego
Replace with We : our hearts & the heart of the creator as one.
Then You'll never feel separate,
You walk with those intentions You'll never fall off the Red road.
I've not been in 20 years to big mountain. I miss it

My dad runs a Sundance, he drinks heavily through the year and only sobers up with enough time to run it. I stopped going because of that, and its hurt me spiritually. I haven't been able to find one on my own because I dont have the connections. I miss these songs. I dream of them and hear them in my head when I'm struggling. I grew up with these songs, I think this video is a gift. I've gone too long without hearing these ceremonial songs and my life lacks without them. Thank you for this video.
hi Miranda .The songs keep me here and I read your words and listen to your heart.My father was a alcholoic too .He tought me a great deal about our history.Many people took him serious annd many did not because of his drinking.I use to take the bus when i was little just to get away and would find myself at pow wows.I was 11 at the time.The drum callled me then the songs come with it.Follow your heart little one.
Miranda.....I saw you here, and your message moved me, so I wanted to say, I hope you find someone else to do the Ceremony for you, like , where does David Swallow Jr. do the Ceremony?? Try to get get connected with him and Nyla Helper....Pray that your dad is able to give up the bottle...
Miranda...I just thought of something John Trudell said about the "drunken Indian".....being the one thing responsible for the Native American culture and way of life being preserved and protected for future generations.....It's because of THEM.....who came out of a very hard time....(your dad's generation)...because they REFUSED TO BECOME "WHITE"....even though they were told they could "not be Indian"........so , they decided to just wear a "disguise"...a "mask", just to get by , to do their time, and not ever give in to the white man's ways....of thinking , and doing, so they had only the alcohol to keep them going, it was a way of preserving their identity......I met a few of the older Natives who were from that generation, Vietnam vets... hard core drinkers to be sure....but at the same time, they are/ were some of the most beautiful and strong hearted, generous, kind, loving people on this Earth ....So, don't feel bad about your Dad..Try to understand why the drinking was the only way he could deal with the pain of the abusive system that he had to fight so hard against for so many years .....He did it for you.......so you could have the "real culture" for yourself, and your own kids to follow you, even if he was not able to live that kind of a Spiritual life as a younger man...He runs the Ceremony still?? If you are dreaming about it, and you hear the Songs, it means the Spirits are telling you to get to the Ceremony....so .. YOU GO, GIRL... ...You have a way to heal your own pain, and to help him with his Healing too...Don't miss that chance of a Lifetime....Life is WAY TOO SHORT ....... and to miss out on that , is a tragedy.....and you will regret it forever........
We are not of this world. So we can't be judge by by the things of this world. Your dad is a ceremonial man. He is judge by his spiritual world which is totally different from this place we are in. Prayers for him for health reason caused by drinking. Because I feel he should stick around with us longer to continue to pass these ways down.
Why do natives drink a lot?
so much drama in here, c'mon guys this is a sacred song, you all are adults, I'm only 14 and I know better than starting drama under a video that contains sacred songs, open your eyes and look at what you're doing, tunkasila gave me a dream to be a leader and my #1 role model just recently passed I don't know how to do this on my own and I'm falling off the red road but I'm still going, as a teenager it's really hard to stay on task with a bunch of adults that don't know how to keep their shit straight and show respect. the world we have today is very pitiful.
Hi Jada, Are you still there ? You must be 15 now ? I'd like to tell you your Tunkasila was right about you , that you can be a leader which is an enormous responsability and I know you must feel very lonely . But please , NEVER give up, surround yourself with trusted friends and family (you say Tiyuspaye,which is one word we express in english in many more and is only a description of the meaning) . I believe your leadership is essentially in transmitting your culture , related to your language ,dances , ceremonies and I must forget a few others . Unfortunately I live in Europe and have never seen your place, but I did in docs ... Life is tough for you , I've seen it , as I read your comment I have a feeling you are a tough girl, too ! Lots of luck to you , Jada .
Every day you walk are choices, Jada. Keep walking with good intent and with humility and eagerness to be better. the red road sometimes is wider than at other times.. and i was once told it is only as hard as you make it.. as wide and as narrow as you make it.. every day there are choices to make, and mistakes will be made..willingness to learn and to grow and help others is that good way. we all have bad days, but as long as you get up when you fall, and keep walking.. this is that life walk.
just keep up the beautiful and hard good work u do ...and u will never be let down ...the Grandfathers will always hear your prayers.....no prayer ever goes unanswered....keep your Spirit strong by staying connected to and with the Ceremonies...listen to what the elders say .they have the Knowledge to share...and the wisdom to share it with you.....It's a precious and special Gift from the Spirit World , (your Dreams)..so pay close attention to what they have to teach and reveal to you....
Jada good crow
YOU ARE In Balance,Wonderful to hear a young pers5,with the correct attitude! Bless You!
Jada good crow ,Don't let negativity PULL You OFF The Red Road!

I have so much confusion n silent chaos sometimes I cry myself to sleep but I listen to these songs and pray waiting for creator to tell me it will be OK and that he took care of it all. I can't wait for Sundance this year

I PRAY TO THE POWER UP IN THE SKY TO HEAL ALL HATE IN THIS EARTH!!!
Brother Your words open my heart, along with these medicine songs!! AHO !! I was surprised to find this site with these prayer songs!!

Im part ojibwe, n scandinavian Much love n respect to all Lakota. I went there back in 2007ish and i learned about who they are and were and ever since then ive been obsessed, my mother taking me there and hearing the stories and being exposed to them was the best thing that ever happened to me in my life. strangely and for some unknown reason the black hills n bad lands have been stuck in my heart and i cannot stop taking about it. I cannot wait to see it again and pay respect to that great land and its amazing people.
I am an indian ... Born in india.. Far from Cheyenne or Lakota or any other Native American tribe but I feel connected ... Watch Native movies listen to all the songs ... Wish to learn the language as well ... God bless all my brother's and sisters here.... 🙏
HAHAHAHA He is TURBAN, not TIPI!!!! dot not feather.
First Nations from the "americas" are NOT INDIANS. colombo was EFFING LOST and thought he was in INDIA.
@@hypnotherapycw you might have to read it again to Understand it 😊

Im native american... yes these songs are traditional and sacred. Just like how you are not supposed to take pictures or film do to Respect n the sundancers. But i dont see the harm in people wanting to listen or learn sundance songs from people that record it on their own time. Thats what our native people are for standing together not being selfish. Telling each other u cant do this or that. Were all brother n sister in the creator eyes.
Yup I see old ladies with their tape recorder all the time there
Elsipogtog nb, Sundance is zero tolerance
Yes the songs are important, even vital to our way life!
Ahoe niiyahissh
which tribe you on my family are lakota pp but at the end we are the native americans are all big happy family 🙂
Just got done dancing my first sundance. I cried tears of joy after. I'm very happy to keep the tradition alive and well with my brothers and sisters.
Ohan keep it up brother.let the grandfathers stand with you while u dance aho aho for ur prayers

I am Navajo and Ute. And proud to be. June 14 is when my father left this earth and so of my birthday. I was dealing with the demon of alcohol ... but family and songs have brought me back and hope to continue this journey..thank youso much for great songs of life..🙏
I'm a recovered alcoholic been sobered 21 years , and though I have very little native blood way back in 1784 or something one of my mother's relatives married a native lady. But these native songs and prayers were crucial in my early recovery and I still use them today when I need a spiritual punch. God bless you and remember to be willing to be willing 💪
Remember the songs, you will live.
It is so brave from you to left the way of alcohol. I wish you all the best on a better way with your family and nation. I send you so many blessings.
Soon you will be reborn as he is in spirit so shall all tribe's be reunited in spirit and walk in heavenly places.This I have seen.I am Screaming Eagle 🦅 and the Sun is my Spirit guide and truth speaker. For all Yah Hay Wah Hay his heavenly name .Rev7-17 and Isaiah 22-22 is who I am in the spirit world. ❤❤❤to all tribes.
don't take this down please.. it's helping my healing and journey on the red road.. lila wopila. I'm from green grass South Dakota.. this brings my spirit to its roots...
Redpath is a kind of sugar, right?
I hope its been going well. the red road can be hard but we have to stay true, wopila
Nice!
I agree. It makes me remember.
Everyone understands that we do not take pictures or record the ceremonies themselves. But our Sundance’s are fading away slowly but surely from lack of responsibility or malpractice. I no longer have anywhere to go for Sundance, and feel wholeheartedly reassured that I can learn these songs here. Thank you.
Im Lakota and the reason you didn't record your self is because of the law back in 1982.. it was finally changed.
Ya!! Same over here in Saskatchewan to!! SET4
Mixing Medicine Has Created A Burden On The Sundance Nation And All The Other People Are From Outside Are Struggling As Well
If i had one wish I would wish for The Pipes to be Returned and That the Lakota Sundance Leader's Would. Go Up And Build A New Alter Away From Everything and Do What They Have Other's Do, 4 days Alone With Nothing Else Except Conversation With Creator. But sitting and waiting for other's to do this and receive information is not helping. Hynblecheya, Sundance as everyone else might have an important as a Leader Leads Others will follow. My last wish is that Creator would help them gather together and build their Families and Let The Ceremonies come back to them to help them find some Answers. Image the world is full of people who have been given Chanupa and I know personally that this is a dangerous situation and I RETURNED the Chanupa and it was the Right thing to do. Take Time To Pray for yourself and Those You Love!

I’m Lakota and my family has gone to Sundance many years. My father, grandfathers, cousins and everyone in between knows someone who sundances.
South Dakota natives have many people who Sundance every year, beautiful thing to be apart of ❤️
AHOOooo' I grew up on these sundance songs (I am Ndeh tribe San Carlos) in the Inipi ceremonies here in California. The red road way is so beautiful, the best medicine is all the brothers of all bands, nations and even our Mexica relations singing these songs in prayer, together, united. Our community here in northern California is blessed to have so many come together in a good way, we have bear dancers, miwok roundhouse dancers, big-head kuksumoki, sundancers, Aztec dancers, all nations coming together every week and offering up these songs TOGETHER. A brother of mine who led the dance troop Aztec out here finished his 4th year sundancing and it brings so much joy to see leaders step out into our communities in this way. Much love to my Sundance family and brothers that travel with these songs, our people need to heal and UNITE. ALLLLLL MY RELATIONS! AHO.
CA is my birthplace...and where I spent most of my life.....I am happy to hear that so many people have come together there for Ceremony.....I miss the Land, as I live in France now, where the people here have a great love and respect for the Native American people because they remember back when they had good relations with the Native people of the USA ....back in the Fur Trade days, many inter-marriages occurred , and so , today we have many Native people with French names, like "John Trudell".....
Tim McCarthy ...John trudell was a great man and teacher for me...especially in his very clear exposition of..the tribes of Europe..very CLEARING on the raping of the tribal mindset of pre-Christian Europe...my d.n.a is 97% Irish...I was born in Australia..my father was Irish and all my ancestors on my mother’s family came out to Australia during the potato famine/genocide..my name is Brendan Carey...my y tube name should tell you where I stand with regards my universal identity..spiritual knowing...I was impressed with your comments on this post..the big..bigger picture...aho! brother.safe passage

Last of the free people!
Hayo, all my relations!
I’m 14 and I go to Sundance every year with my family. Its so sad I didn’t get to go this year because of covid but I love listening to these it’s almost like I’m there
Sad, the Sundance I go to takes precautions in COVID, but SUNDANCE keeps on. No cook shack. Head temperatures check. No pipes smoked between people, only people the person with the pipe wish’s to smoke with. Problem is singers.
Keep dancing! The spirit is always with you
Dance for all my relations
I was a sun dancer growing up and the nostalgia this brings over me is almost overwhelming! Aho! Mitakuye oyasin!❤️
Wish i could go
I’m dealing with hypomania right now, my borderline personality disorder issues and these songs really heal my trauma. Give me strength to move and join those on the red road to wellbriety and stoke the fire within and support those that I love. Carry my eagle feather and fan.
Chikahua.
I wish you peace and hope you feel better. My daughter struggles with BPD. A dear friend of mine, who had only been recently been diagnosed, committed suicide in June. Please take care of yourself and always ask for help if you feel overwhelmed.
@@specialdjones ty. my heartfelt condolences to your loss. My heart does go out to those who have experienced the loss of our loved ones.
@specialdjonthat scares me cuz of how close i have felt like that coming off being polydrugged. Struggling right now n scared. Theres not much they can do they just put me 9n an antidepressant but today my thoughts n crying scared me.
@@nativechique7589 It's unfortunate, but with the way medicine is today, you almost have to fight for your health. Don't be afraid to speak up, and tell them the meds aren't working. Don't be silent. Talk. Talk. Talk. Express. Draw. Paint. Make music. Dance. Yell at the sky. I write poetry and make music. It feels good, heals. When those dark feelings run inside of you, slow down. Find a quiet place or any place where you sit up with your feet on the floor. Close your eyes, breathe in and out. Let those ill thoughts run, but you sit quietly. It may take half an hour, but you sit there. In time, the darkness will pass.
Grew up on these songs since I was a lil boy, happy to know and understand them. I love being Lakota.

“If God wanted me to be a a White man he would’ve made me so.”
my family are native americans are tribe is lakota pp if you one of the lakota tribe then me and you are family
Omg your last name is Taken Alive! He was friends with Crazy Horse. Joseph Marshall III books are so good. Taken Alive’s name is mentioned in Hundred in the Hand , The Long knives are Crying and the journey of Crazy Horse I think he’s in that one too. But he was killed at the battle of Greasy Grass, right?
Right behind you.!
Auch wir Germanen hören,lieben diese Lieder. Wenn wir tanzen sind wir mit dem Herzen und dem Geiste bei euch ❤
Oregon has a Sundance I’m blessed to be raised knowing these ceremonies without them I don’t know where I be
I don't know anything about the Lakota but suddenly I have tears in my eyes.
I lost two sons seven years ago. One died of natural causes the other was a Marine who was killed in a hit and run. I had relatives sing these songs at their funerals. My mother was recently taken by the covid and we didn't get to have these sung at her funeral due to that virus.
So sorry for your losses!! Aho, Mitaku Oyasin
I love the songs...it uplifts me while I'm walking around...and many many moons of Sundance,my teachers are gone...but I keep the teachings in my heart ...I sing the songs for all my family who are lost..humbling and very proud to be indigenous!!! Love these songs..
As A Dakotah Winyan, These prayers have strengthen me as a Mother as A Wife as A role model...
This music is great ,thank you for sharing. Cheers from San Diego and you ???
This will be my first year to sundance. I am praying everday for an open heart and ears to listen to what creator has to teach me to help our people. Wado
I hope everyone has a good year whenever you see this. Being able to hear these songs help through tough times

Thank you for giving people that don't have access to ceremonial communities a way to keep this alive in their hearts and sing along with you all. I am practicing now to go support Sundance humble it and I'm just a white lady born in Washington DC and without you I would not be ready. WOPILA FOR BEING BRAVE REGARDLESS OF THE HEATED OPINIONS BECAUSE THIS IS NECESSARY AND I'M SO PROUD OF YOU FOR SETTING THE SPIRIT FREE AND WALKING THROUGH ALL THOSE OPINIONS YOU HAVE TO LIVE UNDER THE weight of
Pray for me love listening sundance songs
As a sundance and helper, I have listened to the teachings and our laws. We had to hide our ways but no more. Many rainbow children are waking up to our visions and ways. We cannot hide behind colonial oppression and fear of past history. We are the bridge. Celebrate! Be respectful! Hiy hiy
That rainbow stuff is all bull
@@thunderwolf5969 The Rainbow🏳️🌈 "stuff" is Real!!! Go to a Rainbow Gathering & help to heal the web that connects us all to the Creator.💜👑🌹🌠💙🏳️🌈🌎
@@jewelwaters464 no it's aww bull rainbow stuff is a big hoax
@@thunderwolf5969 I’d you’re not Hopi that would be potentially true for YOU.
Many Plains Nations elders have recognized the truth and wisdom in that prophecy and agree with it.
And at this time, if our many nations do NOT band together with all the others to heal this earth help usher in a new time, the two leggeds will be SOL, and many many beautiful species of animal, plant, fungus, will go extinct and disappear forever.
So choose to be salty and closed-up, or choose to live in the present and put down past grievances with other Turtle Island and worldwide indigenous peoples to fix this mess.
I choose to fight and acknowledge that Creator speaks to many other nations on TI and has shared many prophecies among all different nations, so that we may all live.
Together
So our people may live!
@@thunderwolf5969 what is this rainbow stuff you're talking about?
I'm Italian, I live on the other side of the world, but in the 80's two medicine-men taught to a friend of mine the knowledge of their tradition, today this man is my guide and he's teaching me to walk the red path. I'm not a Lakota, I'm not a native American, but I feel a deep connection with the spiritual traditions of your land, not only with the native peoples of North America, but with the traditions of the people of all your continent. Do not be angry too if not natives want to learn from you, despite the difficulties you are able to keep the ancient knowledge of your ancestors, we have snatched him away, but as you Lakota say: Mitakuye Oyasin ... and it's true! !
I am deeply grateful to your people because thanks to you I have been researching and rediscovering the traditions of what was once my people and that about 2,000 years ago saw eradicate his traditions and his identity by an invader people and a religion imposed, i'm rediscovering the link with Mother Earth and all its elements, i'm rediscovering my essence. ... Listen to these sacred songs are for me a spell, even if I do not understand a word, the only vibration brings me into your world, makes me change my state of consciousness and for this I am grateful!
So THANK YOU, thank you with all my heart !!!!
Kentu B well said freind.
Kentu B your awesome. I walk the red road too
I just read your comment and I feel just the same way ! I am Dutch , live in France since 39 years and happened to be in Washington DC on July 15 , 1978 ! The most impressive gathering I have ever seen in my life . Ever since I feel a connection to Maka Wakan and lately began to read more about Lakota spirituality , and really am intented to follow the wisdom . Lila wopila for your ways . You are inspiring !

I love these songs im mikmaq proud
Tim McCarthy christians...and muslims too.
I just finished my 4 years commitment this summer. I have a native great-grandmother and found my way to these Ceremonies by the grace of the ancestors. I was blessed to be taken in the Sundance by Mi'kmacs of Canada's East Coast even if I am for all purposes a white man. I pray with my Pipe almost every day and say thank you to the spirits and ancestors for all that I have received. And listening to these songs, I am so grateful :-) And they are the exact same songs we sing :-) I am grateful for the continuity of the Ceremony. For All my Relations.
Sébastien Matte Myself as well. I am a Sundancer from the Blue Mountains. Total white girl. I love the Red road. It is my way of life. Very humble to have wonderful teachers.
These songs touch the soul.
Blessings to all🙏🏼❤️🔑
y'all wouldn't be allowed In our Sundance that's white man sundance up that way I guess y'all stay up that way FYI first song is southern Cheyenne calling song fuckin Sioux shouldn't even been posting that song but they don't care they sell there ways to anyone bunch of sell outs...real Sundancer southern Cheyenne dog soldier southern paint...
Good expression bro! I've been to meetings with Eugene Blackbear Jr. around Concho. My childhood friend has been wanting me to dance at concho, he's a priest (Lizard Clan)
lizard is Arapaho paint it's strong paint but concho in my opinion is way to close to that casino and to the road and they try to show it off it's not meant to be shown off I go to seiling Oklahoma Sundance it's hidden away from white people we had a few show up this year us society members chased them off with willow switches and they ran screaming like some hoes lol but hey I have great respect for blackbear family they really know there shit and lizard paint is hard to earn I know him as well much respect to him and u aho stay blessed
I'm like family with the Bellymule family
Grateful for the Red Road and all of the medicine. Grateful for Sundance and Sundancer’s. Thank You for everything! Thank You Thank You!
My heart sors when I hear these song's. I remember one summer when it was so hot it was 117 in the shade. And with the fire just out side of the arbor of the rest area. And they dug holes to cool off in. I am blessed that I was adopted by my family of 3 families. I always! Ask the creator to bless all my relatives in the 4 directions amd for the 3 families that adopted my family.
Creator bless us all.
AMAZING! I attended a SunDance at Rosebud when I was 17. . . unforgettable!!! Mitaukye oyasin
Me too. Sacred.
Rosebud…i go close to there
My family runs the one in St. Francis. Hoping to return this year with my family
Grew up in Valentine. Spent my summers on the Rosebud.
Rosebud, Parmalee, St. Francis,
I remember old man Whiteings store.
And Pattsy Anne Valandra. Lol
Good memories.
I am Sicangu and Onondaga. For 23 years I was either disconnected or felt like I was going to be scolded when I'm in traditional spaces. Now I found a Tiospaye that is open and I'm learning songs and helping in sundance with little to no fear. Traditions find us, and deep down we all know what to do.
Thank you my Native American brothers and sisters for your beautiful music. It so calls to my spirit in a way no other can.😌
To the brother who is suffering because of his father's drinking. I'll tell you what Martin Highbear told me when I was suffering; Take it to the Hill 🙏
CD'S and cassettes are sold in stores EVERDAY with these songs. here the people get to listen for free. my grandsons are learning to sing these songs from this video. I am teaching them to speak Lakota and they want to learn more and more because of videos like these. LEAVE THESE VIDEOS ALONE.
If you are Native you should know better. If you are Native have an elder teach them their language. If you are not Native you have no right what so ever to order anyone to keep these songs up. If you are not Native you are showing yourself to be just another descendent of those who have taken almost everything from Native people. You want to claim everything for yourself and your children. Creator judges...it wont be pretty.
@@willaellis2914 you judge too , I hear it, the harsh sound of condemnation and doom in your voice.......you are acting JUST like the christians who tried so hard to kill off your own culture , and failed.... Still, it's not so easy now to just "get an elder to teach the kids " their language.....BTW .in regards to your little threat, as you mentioned being "judged" by Creator.........Great Spirit or "Creator"... is NOT "a judge"....that phony concept of "GOD" is a TOTALLY christian concept.....based on english court rule, and dealing with the decrees of kings, queens etc.....and the official court system that has been used for centuries to repress people and punish people......or even kill people...if those people were those who displeased the court........The Spirit World, is NOT "a place" owned and operated by Natives only...and there is NO SIGNS on the door saying "NO WHITES ALLOWED INSIDE"....The guy you were so busy putting down as if he was actually the evil Custer himself......was simply trying to state that he was getting benefit from this vid and his kids and grandkids too, as they were now learning the songs....for free.......so what is WRONG WITH THAT?WTF?? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU ....that you need to come down on people like a ton of bricks?Are you so full of hate in your heart for the "white" people, that the Sun Dance has taught you NOTHING about love and forgiveness???? Forgiveness is the ONLY WAY you will be allowed to enter into the Spirit World.......so do it now, before you "go"....it's a lot easier that way...Once you leave your body, it's SO MUCH harder to change..because you cant go back and try to make right all that needs to be made right, and you cant go back to tell people you are sorry, or that you love them....once you go , it's too late for all that....That is what "hell " truly is....not being able to go back and change things for the better....it causes great suffering, great sorrow.........No judges...no BS ..no court trial......You are your own judge and jury......YOU .......walk the path of the Spirit World Journey...YOU make your own path in the Spirit World by the steps you take today and every day in this life..........Where it goes, is up to you..Because now you are free to choose......between the path of love, and the path of hate..If you have any little shreds of racist attitudes, inside your heart, you will not be allowed to enter the Spirit World in a good way..the Old Woman at the Rainbow Bridge will see it inside of you...and she will kick you off the bridge........and you will have to come back here again to get it right..
YOU do NOT teach your sons. other men do that. It is not your place or your sons to know these songs to darken them further.
@@timmccarthy3034 Are you telling me that rebirth is part of traditional Lakota beliefs? Because that last sentence in your comment makes it sound that way.
@@Serjo777 I will say only this, that in the traditional view, the way of understanding the Sacred Ways of Knowledge of many tribes, that, yes, the"Spirit lives on forever".....and, as it is told by the Elders, the Spiritual leaders, the Ceremonial leaders , and the Medicine People, they all say the same thing, in all the tribes, that, "Those who have gone on, are still here"........and, "YES ......we do go through many lives"....and that......"Death is only a transition, from one life that leads us to the next"..These are not my words, they are the exact words, the Sacred Teachings that I have heard them say, to instruct, and share , for all of us to know and understand clearly....the true reality of "Life and Death"..........The Christian way , is that "this life" , is the ONLY life we will ever get to have, and once we die, we are DONE.. ( way too harsh, too cruel, too scary , and way too judgmental , in the Native way of understanding Reality of Life and Death.. ...as the "Great Spirit" of All Life, is not an angry, vengeful, spiteful, judgmental male "God", that we need be VERY VERY afraid of)..........and so, in their way, we really do "die"..... and "that's it" for us, and after that, just like in court, we stand before the judge, where, he looks at all our deeds, etc, that he kept track of , all recorded , written down, in a very big, golden covered book, that he keeps right next to his big throne, and of course , Jesus is there too, hanging out, but saying nothing.... whereupon we are then "judged" , without mercy, and duly "sentenced", to either go off immediately, to "Heaven" , to float around on a cloud, like way, way out someplace, far, far away from the Earth, and far away all our Relatives, where we must sing praises forever and ever , with the angels, to "God", and "Jesus", etc......."forever.".........( and that is a LONG time to be singing ), etc.. , or we get sent off to "Hell"....to be burned alive in searing hot fire, and tortured by evil demons, etc...... again, "forever."...I was forced as a child, and all my youth, to go to Catholic schools, and this is what I was taught, so I am not making this up here..THIS is what they really believe is reality.....BOTH "Heaven" and "Hell", in this way of believing, actually, seem to be a rather scary, horrid , and bleak , gloomy prospect of our own eternity......and this is what we call, in the Native way , a "wrong teaching".......because it teaches us to be VERY VERY afraid, afraid of our own "Death".....afraid of our own destiny, our own reality.........Being afraid of our own Death, is like being afraid of Birth....They are just 2 sides of the same door...... What we need to know, is the "Spirit World" , and this "physical" World , are BOTH CONNECTED..like up and down, back and front, black and white, yin and yang, heads and tails...........NOT separate.....You cannot have the one without the other existing...like the Earth, and space...They " coexist", at the same time, side by side, "connected"..They are in fact, ONE EXISTENCE...I have experienced the true "Reality" of the Spirit World, after my wife went on her own Spirit World Journey..7 yrs ago.........Many times, and in many ways, she has shown to me , directly, and in amazing and remarkable ways, that she STILL LIVES ......RIGHT HERE......on the EARTH...No one ever really "dies".....just as proven modern science teaches, that all matter and energy, too, is never "lost", it only "changes from one form to another"........"Heaven" and "Hell".....are not separate places, mysteriously someplace far, far away......They are both RIGHT HERE ........ON THIS EARTH..........They are the reality of the eternal legacy we leave behind us, as we leave our own body behind....We "create" our OWN Heaven or Hell, right here , on Earth, as we live our lives, by all we think, say and do......then, we experience that "creation", as a learning tool.....and, as what we must experience...just like looking into the mirror... seeing all that we did, for good or ill, either done out of pure love and beauty, compassion, and forgiveness, or done out of greed, anger, jealousy, and violence, ( we make our own "choices" in life)...... We experience all we did, in life, after we "die".......As John Trudell , being a Lakota, who had Traditional values and a high degree of wisdom , knowledge, intelligence and understanding of "REALITY".......said, very truly, and wisely, "Without Earth, there is no Heaven"......We live , we "exist", as Spirits, in the Spirit World, right here , together, with All our Relatives, until "the time is right" for us to be born again, into another life, in whatever form that may be for us.
I feel much better, I have had this album for 50 years, loved hearing it in my home. Thank you everyone who preserved these songs and singer and drummers.
Love this , thank you for sharing . Honestly if the Grandfathers and Grandmother's didn't approve of this recording ...it would not be on here right now . Perhaps the Creator saw that it's needed by many for a great time of healing . Just listen with respect .
I for one , appreciate this ...especially when you don't have a singer in your sacred circle .
Hiy! Hiy ! 💚🌈⚡🌞🐎
Agree with 100% I'm urban now so without TH-cam I would struggle these songs are spiritual and keep me on track motivated and sober wopila tanka!!!
The Lead Singer really does sound like my late Dad, Ervin Lachance (Topal).
From Topa?
When I attended a Sundance as a support person in 1999 I thought it would be the end of the world as we know it soon. Who would have thought it would be in 2020 instead? Iiii-EEEEEEyyyaaaaa hahahaha!!!! 🤣Thank you posting this and keep up the faith. These are some of the very exact Holy songs I remember.

I will listen for natures voice on the path. I am aware now of the power of dance and song. I will listen with my heart and spirit. I have emptied my need for the industries noise and poison. my body is cleansed of all tobbaco, alcohol, drugs, artificial sugar processed foods, caffeine and medication. I hear your voice now clearer than ever. the road has been difficult. life is not easy grandfather but I thank you for allowing me to struggle and to feel pain and anguish. I know you love me. I was too blind to see my path. I was weak and full of fear. I have allowed others to influence my thoughts and ideas that were not my own. I know better grandfather and I will listen to your voice from now til the great suns fades and begins anew. my body has become stronger than I would have never have imagined. my eyes have become sharp and I don't require glasses anymore. I have discovered how to clear my Water grandfather. thank you. I am ready to take my journey on the Red Road.
keep walking the Red Road...life is not easy Tunkashila....my heart joins in prayer with my relative...I too was weak and full of fear....

Dear James sorry for your loss and sending you Love and Support!
Hearing these songs always reminds me that the real sundance is everyday and I need to strive to do my best for all my relations always. Life in this modern world seems like it's always trying to knock me off track but the red road is always calling me back. Wopila Mitakuye Oyasin
Remember the first day you heard these songs and they were really 🔥 in my ❤ mind and spirit.
Pray from me love sundance songs only in family from Winnipeg Manitoba
Love listening sundance songs pray struggling from Winnipeg
I just burned sage and cedar my family and I myself are going through trials. My heart needs peace and this beautiful song has led me too it thank you creator for always watching over me and my family
Please keep these videos coming and on TH-cam and other channels it’s healing people all over the world various races backgrounds all over the world need this music and all to heal . Make the creator proud share it. ❤❤❤
I'm blackfoot and Cherokee Indian and I love this so much! Where I live there are no Native Americans accept me 😥
As a mikmaq who has trusted the sundance teachings to the Lakota people.. Thank you very much, you are forever in my prayers and in the rhythm of my drum and the sweat that drips on it... Please keep this video up, I know it's sacred.. But it really helps my baby sleep at night
Thank you from the Lakota Oyate Ki
They said the Sundance wasn’t a Mikmaq ceremony, so I packed my bags and headed to South Dakota to Sundance with my brothers and sisters .. Blessings ever since HOKA ONE HEART ONE MIND
Привет вам, незнакомцы. Я люблю ваши песни, танцы, я люблю вашу культуру. Когда я был маленьким, вы забрали моё сердце😊 Таменунд, Понтиак, Текумсе, Ташунка Витко, Рассел Минс. Я знаю ещё имена. Я читал книги о вас. Я читал книгу Леонарда Пелтиера и другие книги. Это хорошо, что вы идёте по дороге своих предков. Я желаю вам победы. Я люблю вас. Я из России.
Thx from the sicangu Lakota out of Lakota country
Its nice to hear the sioux sing this❤ at my Sundance we sing these songs in Blackfoot. I love both languages ❤
We are not Sioux we are Lakota
You can hear mother earths heart beat with each bang on the drum :) This brings peace to my soul. Love it
Han mitakuyepi illiana emaciyapi. Hello all my relatives my name is illiana I am a 12 year old girl and I'm proud to be Lakota I grew up on these songs I know all the words to them and I am going to be a sundancer next year thank you for these songs.
Love to hear this. Love to feel the energy. I welcome the great spirit. I am not native American but I am still a warrior. I am a marine veteran! Oooooorah!
Thank you for your service and sacrifice!!
You were willing to sacrifice your own life to save our land and country my the great spirit be with you ✊🏽
We need to stop fighting the fake wars our Govt puts us in. You deserve to defend us from those who "govern" us. We support you, we pray for this. Why fight to defend an oppressive system? Fight the system to save the people! This I pray for you and every military service man and woman to realize. 9/11 was an inside job and we should not be manipulated to join the military just to get an education or have better healthcare, that's called slavery.
Ahooo!
Love listeniing sundance music from Winnipeg Manitoba
It's really hard to come back to the city after sundance. I'd rather stay on the rez but my winyan wants to stay close to her parents and she's got a good job with excellent insurance (which she needs) so moving up there is pretty unlikely. I know some say these songs shouldn't recorded, and to tell the truth I really don't know if it's right or wrong, but I can say hearing them and singing along helps me a lot. Especially right now when we've just gotten back from our wiwang wacipi. We live in one of the roughest parts of the hood and are surrounded by addiction, violence, and negativity. These songs, working in the garden, and watching the birds are definitely the medicine I need today. Wopila tanka!
Hallo Freunde meine Tochter Blume die im Wind Tanzt u. Ihr Vater Ossy Tanzen gerne mit Euch den Sundance.Unsere Herzen u.unser Geist sind immer mit Euch.
Thank you for this sacred song. I am from the U.K and although my country and many others across the world have lost the ability and inclination to connect to the Earth through singing and prayers , I fully believe that tribal people across the globe are keeping us all going. So thanks to the Lakota and all Native Americans, Aborigines and tribal people everywhere..........Where would we all be without you. Carry on singing ..........and keep the world spinning.
@@hypnotherapycwcalm down they tried to come in the best way they could. Acknowledge that and stop expecting everyone including yourself to be perfect.
@@hypnotherapycw lol once again calm down. These songs are sacred songs you don't need to be acting like this under these songs. Your not a gatekeeper nor a teacher. So calm down and relax.
@@hypnotherapycw tell me what type of life or death distress did you Sundance over? Now days you all Sundance for show not because a super serious situation has arised. Now you all beg for money to run your sundances. I only know of one true Sundance the old way everything else is modernized and new age with new rules. You guys think sundances is a right of passage. It isn't. It's something holy and sacred for those in serious distress over life or death matters. Our people today don't suffer like our ancestors. So again. Tell me me or ill for ever see you as a "I did for show" fraud ass ndn. If you wanted to try and test my courage and strength you should of asked me how many times did I go off with out gelling anyone n go fast and how many times did I cut my own flesh by myself. Now days almost nobody goes and fasts on their own or cut their own flesh. Even on bear butte there will be a bunch of ppl fasting in the same area at the same time. Bunch of followers and not enough leaders and that's why our people are stuck the way they are. Calling me a white man because your in these comments acting like a little shit kid being disrespectful then want to ask me how many times I did a sacred ceremony all in the same argument. You already showed your character and someone like you would only bring bad into that big lodge especially talking like that. Tryna ask me something holy like it's a competition smh that's why so many things go wrong for the people cuz people like you who have no business in those ceremonies are allowed to. Your probably one of those dumbasxes that think medicine men have power. Lmao 🤣 pry one of those Lebeau followers all bad or a nathan chasing horse cult follower. N if your not Lakota Dakota or nakota or from their stock then Sundance is NOT your culture. Everyone now days wants to share ceremonies like us indigenous people are a monolith. Now I tell you little spirit, go on in a good way. And stop making your ancestors ashamed and embarrassed by the way you carry yourself.
@@hypnotherapycw in your own words to Titus Begay. "A TRUE DANCER WOULD NEVER BRAG ABOUT THESE THINGS" thank you for exposing yourself as not a true dancer.

Wakan tanka! These songs are sacred don’t argue! I’m a 12 year old and I am correcting you! I was recently at Sundance these songs were all played! The Sundance I go to is Sisseton South Dakota it’s very nice I supported my brother for his first time but he fainted and had a heat stroke and a seizure and it was my first time seeing that but it made me stronger just wanted to share that! I love all my ancestors!❤️😞 Just wanted to let u know if that ever happens breath I freaked out but still always know everyone out their in that circle is praying for him so he’s same! Just wanted to share that and give u advise! Ur really not supposed to record these songs.
Why are you not to record these songs?
I'm praying now in the lodge with my relatives...for my relatives in Standing Rock
thank you. I am from Standing Rock
your comment was 2 years ago, I'm listening to these songs just 4 days away from a big drum circle and protest of a pipeline being built here in BC, Canada. it will go across many different reserves and territories. the drum circle is going to be held on coast salish territory. many band councils have decided to take the pipeline money. send us prayers
@@amefuraggamuffin hoka hey brother, we will remember you all as warriors, WARRIOR UP
Good reception in the sweat haha!Thank you sister
You took your phone into the lodge lol
I enjoy listening to the traditional Native American music. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for sharing! 💕🌺🌎🌈✊
I miss hearing these beautiful songs...😢
We are all human and answers are slow to come about our own self. Answers for the behavior of others, no matter how close, arrive even slower if at all. I cannot turn back because others have difficulty following the Way. I was going to run once and I had waking vision in my room. I saw Grampa in the Sundance, in the Sunlight, facing East, and I was not facing East, outside the Lodge, headed North into a forest. I grabbed my little girl, jumped into my GMC pickup and never stopped until we were at the Sundance Grounds and helped build it. A'hoo for the guidance from Above.
I grew up on these songs also!! I love seeing that im not the only one and i cant believe other sundances sing them! Who the hell was i to think my sundance was so special😂😂 no but this is so cool!! I grew up being told i was cherokee and turns out im not, im as European as it gets, my elisi (g-ma) adopted my mother, she infact cherokee and i grew up on the drum going to powwows every weekend grass dancing. Ive went thru 3 sets of regalia so far haha on my 4th right now i have yet to go out and dance again sense i found out i dont have a drop of cherokee let alone any other tribe in my blood. It kinda breaks my heart, cried to so many of my elders about it. Blah, life goes on.
LOVE LOVE LOVE. Greetings from Brazil. Holy lyrics.
Greetings back to you. I'm a full blood Cree..
Welcome to our culture..
Thou it's sacred
Thank you for sharing these spiritual songs, I been dancing for a long time mostly in Arizona Casablanca Sundance. Not able to make it there this year instead going to Mexico to dance with our border brothers not sure what to expect but going with a good heart. The sundance songs helps take me back to ceremony and does me a lot of good. This was done in a good way for all to learn the meaning of this path. Thank you, Buffalo Horse White Mountain Apache. Aho.
There used to be a Sundance on the Navajo reservations that you can find going through Pinion Arizona. People from across the states would come see it, even people from Japan. hundreds of people showed up every year, and every year i would go.
A few year vack there was a dispute with the families who ran it, and eventually they stopped hosting it. The location still stands, but never used again. I had planned to participate, myself, to be one of the dancers and get my first piercings, vut after the news, i felt that it jsut wasnt the same without the place i grew up being apart of.
this is a blessing. thank you for sharing our sacred songs sundancers for 2020 dance in your hearts. i close my eyes and visualize the dances and the spirit fills me with love then i turn into a big cry baby its beautiful.🌎💞💘🌈🌦🌪🌬🌞🔥
When i feel uncomfortable or scared or any bad energy or disrespected attacked i listen to this because its all i have to fall back on ..to..for security n i just pray 🙏 tell creator i give whats being done to me to him. I sometimes cant say my prayers when i want but i just get lost in these songs hanging onto them hoping n waiting creator will come take it all away or show me how to make it go away
I have haven't been to a Sundance since I was a young girl when they had at BIG MOUNTAIN LAKOTA SUNDANCE IN BIG MOUNTAIN arizona #RiPRobertaBlackgoat. Thank you for sharing these songs.
I remember hearing about that one....Ceilo Blackcrow I remember that name..from a while back....I remember the name Roberta Blackgoat....sorry to hear that she passed here..but she is in the Spirit World now...no more suffering..she's free to travel....
Hau Jamie, I went to the Big Mountain Sundance years ago in 1986. I recall hearing on the National evening new that Ms. Blackgoat ran off federal agents with a shotgun because she didn't want them stealing her land. When I arrived at the sundance past second Mesa and attended a sweat lodge ceremony I had seen the elder Blackgoat there and she to was a Sundancer there that year. Very spiritual place Big Mountain is.
I am close to the Mother Earth when I dance. I respect the Lakota for showing me the tradition of Sundance. I have many brothers and sisters whom I have been connected to through the Sundance ceremony. I am grateful for my life, and those whom are close to me in this life, too. I am alive, I am respectful to the wisdom I learned from my relatives. I have learned we are all related. We breath, we seek wisdom, nourish our bodies, and drink the water that we cannot live without! Aho! Medawkweasne!
Listening to these songs helps me find peace within myself. I miss the sundance days when I was a kid!
I saw this song in the book "Bury my heart in Wounded Knee" and i am here ❤
Strange but indescibably beautiful.
These chants take me on a journey. Where is it going? What is the next note? Is it up, is it down? Amazing!

This way of life is what you make it. Your Red Road can be narrow or wide , only you have the power to walk the way you need.
If i , as a proud member of the Eagle Society Sundance Family can be of service to the people either through my suffering at The Tree Of Life, or singing these songs .
Then it shall be life.
Native people, you can be sure of the powers of yours chants and dances which I have experienced today : I had to meet a friend I had not seen for a long time, but at the last minute she asked me if I would like to come for lunch at her family, where I know nobody, in a very classy neighborhood where I never went to... I was quite nervous because I have always been fearful in such situation, heart beat accelerating, throat squeezing sensation, breathing cuts etc...
I accepted, because I really want to grow and go beyond this problem that I have.
On the way there, I played the songs of this video and sung as loud as I could, even though I do not understand what it means. And the magic happened: I was able to accept things and found myself much more at ease than I would have imagined, we talked about the respect of nature and how I was thinking we should start to turn our belief system and even our rituals towards those who have always loved nature and who have been defending nature over thousands of years and help them by our prayers and thoughts.
Respect to all Native People and Cultures from a Caribbean man living in France.
From Winnipeg love listening sundance songs healing
Oklahoma Cherokee, I love the traditional music..I miss the drums...
wish i could have one day in my life to see this, but i live in in sweden. So i enjoy warching these dances and listening to the songs here on youtube and spotify
I'm of European descent. Nerweigian. Viking on both sides. My paternal side chose the piercing Sundance, following the teachings of Morris Crow Last Tail Feathers. I follow the path of the Buffalo, facing my storms head on knowing that it will be resolved sooner. Thank you.
This music is great ,thank you for sharing. Cheers from San Diego and you ???
Pray for me still strugging with loss from Winnipeg Manitoba
These songs don't have to be at Sundances these songs can be sang anywhere in funerals or in other places my relatives taught me how the Sundance goes I'm apart the Sundance ahoo all my relations
I have always had a deep interest in this, since the age of fourteen or fifteen, when somebody first told me of it. When he taught of the Lakota traditions he helped to guide my path.
These songs are sacred. These things are not a tourist attraction or a Wild West Show. They are an evolution. They are earned and of the highest value and meaning. The medicine is for everyone in the Creation, true, but its never without a striving and a struggle. It comes at a price. That's how we learn to say our prayers, at last ... To become true human beings. Wouldn't take that journey away from someone else, even if I could ....
Madoc Killion bless your journy !
