This music has always touched my soul, even before I came into the knowledge of self of who the origainal people of the earth were especially black people. and the common enemy we have. I felt a connection to this culture, in elemantary i saw a movie and then I use to go to the library on my own reading of native american culture, I studied the dances I even wrote poems. I use to wear a arrow head around my neck, I was only 8 then. hahaha thinking back to when I use to make body paint
Everytime I get smoke the Hearb of the Earth (MJ, I use it as a spiritual tool) this song always plays in the "background noise" with my thoughts. One day I had to end up watching the Terence McKenna video jsut to satisfy my need to hear this song, ive been looking for this for a long time. This is the song of Spirits.
, that connects us back to what we have left behind and as a message from the past to remind us of where we came from and what we have lost, so all events both creative and destructive wether by the British, Spanish or Romans is inflicted on us as a whole... thats why listening to this music over and over empowers that feeling of oneness even with the past...
Beauty, Peace, Present. No the past can't be forgotten but learned from as we go forth to be now having respect as we rebuild & do what it best to teach positive non violent ways to deal with situations.
I'm very sorry..that comment below wasn't in context to yours, but this discussion has helped so much. So many questions in our family for over a century. It's not explainable to outsiders. People on both sides only see the surface & have no clue. Just that...I realize now, after 35 years, why my aunt refused tribal affiliation. She wasn't going to abandon us. Over so much more, she chose her family and us. Thank you for listening. :-)
judging by the comments i take it most people wanna dance to this tune, first of all i love this particular song, but with me everytime i listen to it i get drawn to the chair and all i wanna do is sit back, relax, listen and then comes the eye watering empathy then the profound sense of gratitude and appreciation. must be that ayahuasca i had before.
I am sure your right. Hindsight is a wonderful thing and we still have not learned the lessons which should be obvious from this period of history even now.
..You know, we ended up with no claim to any land, money, treaties or even the right to guilt-trip anyone. Life is actually very good. May you be blessed and at peace some day too.
Ishpeming, where the Wolf's trail leads. During times of fasting and medicine dreams, was once alive, full and green. but we have wandered from such things as these and travel on concrete instead of through trees.

Through various sources you have learned about their culture. This music evokes the things you've learned but are in denial about. As the others have said they have something we have lost, and it is not some mystical thing but something much more tangible and much more necessary. They where truly free, we are born into a gigantic self-made cage. Study their way of life, and that of other native peoples around the world and you will find out what makes you cry and what we're missing.
can you feel the rythm within this piece and does not the digital sound excellerate your emotion .... break out and excersize your creativity express yourself don't be a wolf they cannot express themselves and must depend of their pack for comfort and release
When I hear this song it's just like I realize that life just is a tiny fraction of the big picture. Thinking about it, what does life really matter? Sure we have the ability to change it, everyone does. But in the end we all die so what next? Do we matter, does this existence even compare for what will happen next. Afterlife, reincarnation whatever you believe...life itself is just a tiny glimpse of the gift of existence. I don't know, I can't really explain what I'm trying to say.
@barbj7121 It's been a year, but Chief was only the leader of a given war party. More often than not, they were only warriors. Since WW1, there hasn't been anyone made famous by the newspapers, because they led war parties against the U.S. Army. We still have warriors of the same caliber today, who have and who are fighting for the U.S. You don't have to wait to die to ask any question you may have.

It's a fish describing water to a tree. Both understand it differently. Myself and many people around me have given our lives over to supporting Native American issues. What people hear only about are a small few. Additionally, the ones who receive the most press are one tribe. There are many of us, including those that aren't federally recognized. Each of us handles these issues in a different tribal mindset, even down to the tribal band we are.
not only that but the truth sets you free. Isnt that why no bird, of your true love should be kept in a kage? turning your own home green powered is a step.
Not sure what you mean. I am English if that matters. My family have been English since 1066. I suppose before that we would be considered Norman which doesn't exist anymore. Certainly my family are very proud of our heritage. My point is. As a culture, we did many things which we should not have done but what would be unforgivable would be to repeat them. Thankfully, we rarely do but still it happens and it should not. Politicians then and politicians now are not so very different.
This is a Sami Joik from Scandinavia/Finland not a Native American chant. The producers of the CD used a recording of a Sami man performing a Joik, dubbed it with extra sounds then sold it on as a Native American chant without paying the family of the man royalties.
Im from Britain and of oriental background, I sort of know why but cannot put it into words, i have theories and would like to gather infos from anyone who is willing to share, i dont normally listen to this types of music but did have an open mind into all types of music, can anybody try to explain to me why i feel like crying and feels like i am so connected to american natives everytime i listen to this song, i dont even understand the words...
The vocals in this track is by a norwegian saami yoiker Terje Tretnes (lapplander) from Karasjohka, Finnmark, Norway singing the yoik "Normo Jovvna". The yoik have no affiliation whatsoever to native american chants or musical forms.
If your anger at Americans is based on concerns for Native Americans, know that many of us have taken steps to rectify the past. If it's another motivation, then those are internal reasons no amount of American-hate can soothe...or justify.
Genetics: Winnebago, Potawatomi, Oneida, German. One of the best things about being treated like crap by both sides is that it's freed me to be only loyal to love, kindness and family. You're not my family. I owe you nothing..except common respect. I'm not obligated to "let" you be my teacher on anything, but I'll respect your point of view.

Not sure about denial, helplessness maybe. I believe that music itself is a higher form of communication tool that can reveal more than words can say, the conclusion i came up with in a sort of interpreting this music into words as this is what usually runs through my headvand i would like to hear everyones opinion..How bout this song as a form of call it a spell,
denisek2008 ... "Garra lei mu Jovnna..." That's how the song starts. Virgin deleted all lyrics to hide the origin of this recording. It is a traditional yoik in memory of a man named John Normo. Yoik is the oldest vocal tradition in Europe, still kept by Europe's last indigenous population, the sámi people. Yoik has a marked pentatonic scale, which makes is different from all other music. Yoiks are used to memorize persons or places, and was also used by sámi shamans prior to 1850 or so.
@Vidar447 Actually, partially correct. Natives were more like the people left after the wrong side won a war. They fought more on the side of the French than Britain, if they took sides. So, when we became a British colony and the French withdrew, the natives became a huge fear and disbanding their unity became a big priority. What if they could be persuaded to fight against the gov't again?
Orange red setting low, treasures in dreams growing slow, footprints on plains...coldness knows, fingered eyes no conscience flows, toy with minds my heart is dying cold. Senseless fluttering of stale souls, wanderlust of paradise to far to hold. Careless planning exits with pride, breathless, sold, never long enough, never told why. No starey assault on visions stored, only an oragne red settling below, attempting at besieging all, to reclaim no following on hidden values long sold
Wait.. The main song is in sápmi o.O Clearly not native american, but native sápmi jojk (or yoyk). The song comes from Norway, Finland or Sweden where Sápmi people live.
Because I speak my families language and I understand intonation and have sang with several drums , practice Drum , Peyote, member of NAC, and first elder WhiteBear medicine society..........SHow respect for creative energy from all relation..... when the stones in the mountain begin to sing as the lava and magma boil do you complain that their voice is not eloquint? .
what is stolen yesterday is stolen today, no if ands or buts about it. all pilgrims are greedy. all if this is not true, where are the people who gave back land? where?
brian1963110... I hate to say this, but Sacred Spirit is actually impostures. They are not natives of Equador as they claim, but Dutchmen, and their imposed style is Lakota. This particular recording was made in arctic Scandinavia by Ducth television. It is a sámi named Terje Tretnes who are performing a traditional yoik. Virgin is sued for copyright infringement. It may be that Pawnee is the only tribe dancing counter-clockwise. Don't expect ignorant impostures and scam artists to know that.
Search for Normo Jovvna Aigi on youtube and you will find a their saami interpretation of it. There is also an article about this in Árran, search Árran Terje Tretnes on google.
Actually, the worst corruption abuse and class divide is not in the west. Look at countries like India. Huge economies with growth even in a time of global economic crisis yet half the population suffer with some of the highest infant mortality in the world. The problem of wealth distribution and quality of life is a problem in the west but an absolute crisis further afield. Your example of infant mortality is a very good example of that.
@SymonDymond Thanks. So many immigrants came here for "cheap Indian land"..and yes, some in gov't & public continued to be prejudicial. However, many immigrants felt respect and gratitude for natives, including my grandfather. They just didn't understand what the gov't had done until too late.
@fobalobolobin Ummmmmmmmmmmm.....WHAT? Sacred Spirit is a Group of Native Americans from Several Nations including Cherokee, Lenapi, Souix and Lakota (Souix and Non-Souix) So what are you on About?
@xoxopinkbabeexoxo i smoked the herb and it nearly made me crazy i was open to too many spirits and my mind was losin it, i wear soberness as my helmet now i neither drink nor attend ceremonial sweats i was cursed when my name was given to me, my name was only meant to be said in ceremonies hows 4 years of hunting, and if i fail i'll be cursed? All i do now is pray and seek solitude in the bush i rarely go to aboriginal tent meetings and observe but at least your not cursed in there
@gloriousottomanempir What culture hasn't ravaged another? I'm sure there are very few nations out there that have not had some sort of detrimental impact on an indigenous culture.
Truly makes me sad of what the white man did long ago, wiping out the many noble native american tribes that once lived in the U.S. May their spirits live on in nature.
Sometimes I wander what would happen if all of the whites, blacks, asians, and whatever else all just got up and walked away but left everything and what would the Native American descendants do?
Normally I would give 2 thumbs down on a comment such as yours. But, given the fact that 2 others already had done so, I would like to take the opportunity to ask you what, in your spirit, makes you feel such hatred and contempt for God's spirit or the spirit of God? I'm just curious. I would love to hear everything you have to say about God's Spirit, but before you respond take a moment in silence to really think about what you have to say...the answers will be found w/in your own Spirit.
This is not an Native american song, but a Saami (Indegenous people of Scandinavia) Yoik called Normo Jovvna. This sampling was stolen from Terje Tretnes and he never received credit or payment for this.
@Vidar447 So its ok that they were taken over by a British colony? I am British, but let us not be ridiculous, the rise of the British empire and any other was more by luck than judgement and rarely does the best culture survive an incursion from a more hostile one no matter how un enlightened it may be.
aw... this is what I got: Terje Tretnes lea várra eanemus dovddus iežas politihkkalaš barggu dihte. Dán čavčča lea son ráhkadišgoahtán cd, mii rievtti mielde livččii áigá juo galgan ilbmat. I can't translate that. :(
I personally will seek to never throw my European-ancestry family under the bus to be more acceptable. I'd rather be spit on than to be a coward like that. ...but that's just my way. Others have a different tribal way.
This group stole a vocal sample from a Norwegian Sami friend of mine, the chorus of the traditional song "Normo Jovnna", added drums and rattles and repackaged it as a Native American song, calling it "Counter Clockwise Circle Dance". He was never consulted, compensated or credited, and fought Virgin Atlantic in court for years.
i agree with you,this song is from the sami people of northern Europe sung by south Americans! anyone who wants to hear real native american music should go to a pow wow and listen to the real deal, not this stuff!
I never have never seen beautiful men like them in my life. Native American men are breath taking. Just dead gorgeous.Just beautiful.
This music has always touched my soul, even before I came into the knowledge of self of who the origainal people of the earth were especially black people. and the common enemy we have.

i totally love this song, have been trying to locate a copy of the album it's on. i had it when i was 14 and still love it to this day
Still beautiful.
👌👌💯
I love this! I feel so in tune to nature and the goddess when I listen to this!
I love listening to this song when I'm high. I am music.
I am sure your right. Hindsight is a wonderful thing and we still have not learned the lessons which should be obvious from this period of history even now.
..You know, we ended up with no claim to any land, money, treaties or even the right to guilt-trip anyone. Life is actually very good. May you be blessed and at peace some day too.
i feel this song with my heart and soul for the natives!!
A silent man is a man of a lot words.
...forever...forever in our hearts...

Goosebumps !!!
This is just so cool...
this song is heaven :)
wonderful .............................
this is like my main favorite song, i always seem to burn it on every disc, play it in the cd player and on my mp3. its a very good song.
Love this song, makes me want to dance :)
Great song
can you feel the rythm within this piece and does not the digital sound excellerate your emotion .... break out and excersize your creativity express yourself don't be a wolf they cannot express themselves and must depend of their pack for comfort and release
Really nice playlist ;)
Enjoying this.....Makes me sad that the Native Americans were treated so badly just because their culture was not that of the settlers.
When I hear this song it's just like I realize that life just is a tiny fraction of the big picture. Thinking about it, what does life really matter?

The song is called "Normo Jovna" and is about a Sami bear hunter. Check out Normo Jovna by Aigi on TH-cam for a rocked-up version!
They are so handsome. My god beautiful men.

I love it! :) Its Gorgeous!!! :)
If I'm correct, this was the tribe of the Pawnee...They were the only ones to dance counter-clockwise.....
Many nations have counter-clockwise dances. This is a Norwegian Sami song, so that doesn't matter.

I wish we could find footage of the actual dance. That would be SWEET! :D

Please define "family" I was always taught family is the 'blood line', "more is caught than what is taught" "little hawk" faith
I know this is the Pawnee tribe. they were the only tribe to dance counter-clockwise. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks.
Smoke the herb live in peace and harmony:D
Wait.. The main song is in sápmi o.O
Clearly not native american, but native sápmi jojk (or yoyk).
The song comes from Norway, Finland or Sweden where Sápmi people live.
Last of the braves. Freedom over all. Non serviam.

@ojibmom1 Whats the land called then?
Sometimes I wander what would happen if all of the whites, blacks, asians, and whatever else all just got up and walked away but left everything and what would the Native American descendants do?

Sigh . . . sitting round the camp fire with the cello and the synthisiser.
This is Sami not Native American..
The funny thing is that vocals aren't even of a Native american chant. :D
They are instead Sami chants, stolen from the song Normo Jovvna.
@Vidar447 So its ok that they were taken over by a British colony? I am British, but let us not be ridiculous, the rise of the British empire and any other was more by luck than judgement and rarely does the best culture survive an incursion from a more hostile one no matter how un enlightened it may be.
