Rhythm of the Heart - Native American - Buffalo - Plains - Sioux

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 มี.ค. 2008
- Song title is "Rhythm of the Heart" composed by "Ah Nee Mah." Using clips from various western films and documentaries, my short feature is an interpretation of the strong, unbinding links among Plains natives, bison, their Great Spirit, and a young man's reflection of his ancestors' lives of times long past and all that is lost to him. The American bison once numbered at least 100 million across the Great Plains of Canada and the United States. A roaring thunder of herds traveling across the plains was the lifeblood of Great Plains natives, using every part of the bison to sustain them and never taking more than they needed. Nearly driving them to extinction, the herds were systematically killed by greedy settlers from Europe and left to rot for the sole purpose of either starving the natives to death or by forcing them to move onto tiny Plains reservations, enslaving them forever to live far away from their stolen lands and way of life. All the gold, silver, copper, coal, timber, etc. taken by the Europeans belongs to them, yet the Plains Natives are now the poorest of poor, forced to live far from their beautiful and magnificent land of plenty. It's a sorrowful, heartbreaking reflection with no happy ending.

I come from the Cherokee nation, my mother was half. But I love all Native American traditions, histories, legends, and stories. They are fascinating. They are beautiful, gentle, loving people. Not at all the monsters they were made out to be. Thank you for this video, it is breathtaking.

Thank you for saying that for everyone to hear/see. I am part Lakota and I'm tired of people thinking we were mindless savages. I'm/we are highly intelligent and loving people who have been BADLY abused. I am not from a reservation, but I implore everyone to look into the state of the reservations. They are despicable. Our people just wish to be free.

I'm Lakota lol u think huh?

The feeling of longing for something I do not remember, hitting as deep as a journey through time.
Never take more than you need ,,,, from anything in life ....
Try to give back , more than you need ......
Like like like like like like
Nahanni-Yukon I 100 agree with you.
The laws of nature always was naturally from birth that’s how life works. We are part of life and goes full cycle. As we become food for nature’s nurture .
im not native american, in fact, im asian, a pure one but ever since i was a child, i have been fascinated with this culture. i have a longing in my soul to one day walk to places where the native americans walked. i cant explain it but there's something thats drawing me to this culture.. its spiritual and magical at the same time. its like my soul can fly as high as an eagle whenever i listen to songs like these. i am at peace somehow.. thank you for posting this.
I’m Chinese and I love my Native American cousins and their ways of living and survival in the wild. Would trade the cancerous city life for them to teach me how to live their pre-colonial lives.
That’s beautiful
Du hast dort schön gelebt deshalb zieht es deine Seele immer wieder dahin . Geht mir genauso ich habe viel dort gelebt bei den Siuox/ Lakota 💗

I've just watched this video and listened to this amazing song! Since childhood i have wanted to visit the country across the ocean, see and meet real Native Americans! It's because i liked and like westerns. And today i go on watching these types of movies but only with true Native actors. We watched westerns with the non Native actors.
My dreams came true, i visited this beautiful country but i didn't go to any reservation. I had to return to my home country because of my limited trip.
The place i live in (it's close to the biggest lake on earth) there are also indigenous peoples whose cultures are like Native American or First Nations.
They also love nature and pray their spirits.
I love these proud and noble peoples.
With great respect from Russia!
Look white.

Such a beautiful song I've always loved the native American language songs they are beautiful

the power and gift of my people
We thank you and your people for this and your beautiful spirits
This song won my heart! Why does it make me weep? How can I miss in my soul something I've never known, as a woman in just another barren city?
Thank you Ahneemah, for your beautiful music and the passion of it which I understood without knowing a single word. what does it mean? Are you still living? I hope so and pray for you great health and love and rewards for your gift to us... to me. Thank you.
Elizabeth Allweiss It is the same for me! How does this music find its way to the depths of my being? I feel like I am THERE, so long ago. I miss it so very much!
Hermoso video y la música también. Que la nación Lakota resurja de sus cenizas y vuela a caminar por el camino de la belleza.
Oh so beautiful. No words can express what I feel in my heart when I hear this music. It's like this music came from this mother earth. The natives felt it in their soul and played what came from their heart.
Osiyo,
May the warm winds of heaven blow softly on your home.
And the Great Spirit bless all who enter there.
May your moccasins make happy tracks in many snows.
And may the rainbow always touch your shoulder.
Peace, Love, and Respect.
I AM OF CHEROKEE BLACK FOOT BORN NATIVE AMERICAN INDIAN AND BLESS YOU AND SERVE MY SPIRIT IN THE GREAT SKY AND HIS PEOPLE II AM BLESSED
Hello patricia , pleased to meet a Cherokee. I totally admire your culture and would like to learn more.
This song is a MASTERPIECE !
Great video too !
Beautiful words and beautiful music! White settlers took away so much land from my Native Ancestors it makes me cry! I'm not much Native, but it only takes one drop of blood! You can still be Native by just being part of the Earth!
I SAY NEVER AGAIN, I TEACH NEVER AGAIN. NEVER MUST WE FORGET
Happy Ending
We are Still Here !
yes we and here we will remain
If the Europeans Lived the Indigenous Way. Our Great Grandmother Earth would Not be Poisoned To Death.
Yes indeed. People from Europe (Aur-Ob, or the Land of the Golden Dragon) should remember their roots and honor their Ancestors. This music is so amazing....we are all interconnected.
Northern Europeans
zelen plav That's the whole of Europe, and Aethi-oph-ia, the Americas, Asia and everywhere in-between actually. I mean, where people once venerated the serpent or Dragon of Nature-based pagan spirituality. The Dragon is Mother Earth and so the ancients, knowing they were part of Mother Earth, tended to have respect for all life, which is sacred. They also tended to be non-racist and treated woman with respect.
native americans caused humanities first man made disaster. Also, i would not want to live in a culture in which people die by the age of 30 and there are human sacrifices in which actual people are tortured and have their hearts ripped out to placate some fairytale sun spirit.
Where is the proof? Of human sacrifice they havent even find a skeleton of being sacrificed........ Only because of some drawings they think human sacrifice that was made up by the spaniards conquistadors........
I love this music... It definately touches the soul.
Love this song touch my soul

Wonderful, beautiful, scenes and music speak to my heart and soul, thank you for posting this.
My Heart, My Soul, Before and After Always be with Mother Nature...
yearning for the return of times past.
Me Too, Sometimes I feel my ancestors all around me..That is such an awesome feeling
:(...but they live on in us....and in our children...it was my ancestors and you and those of one spirit ...made me realize ...all the religion that controlled me...no longer had me...I let it go...and returned unto myself...us....and what was taken from them by religion....I hold no hatred in my heart towards it....well I did always since I was a child....I will never understand why it happened and grieve over what was or could have been....some say you we cant look back...but how can we not...mourn...and long for the way of life that calls out to us by spirit and blood....only an Indian would understand....I love you sister
Jerrae Lyn
I love you, i see more and more people finding that spirit that unites us and shaking the shackles of control off and that is a good thing
Jerrae Lyn I understand all so well, and I'm not a Indian. Namasté, peacefully my sisters with love.
Hi, the figures better than you can imagine .
This is one of the better videos on Native American that I have seen.A great combination of music and relevant images.Not only do I respect the American heritage but also the insightful photographers that captured these images for us to view many generations later.They realized they were witnessing something important that we would need to learn from many years later. These vast herds of Buffalo will never be what the once were but the spirit can remain alive inside of us.
I love the sound and the feeling that this music gives to my spirit, it takes me to a different world right away, and it just makes me want to stay there all the time, you are awesome, the Great Spirit bless you!
Very nice Katy, straight into my 'Native American Music' playlist.
Thanks for making this lovely video
Native music make me feel blessed inside of me.
I love the music of you all 💞💖🍷👌💯
Wonderful! Is the rhythm of my heart too! Thank you my friend!

Being Lakota Sioux myself ... I always enjoy music of my people. We should NOT forget who we truely are ..
we are all native and belonge to a tribe...wheather it is in ancient england, scotland, alaska, auastrilia, africa....we all are native somewhere...we all are proud to be human and treat all humans as tribal members...
Beautifully said!
Took you asswipes long enough to acknowledge the wrong path you are on and find the Red path to harmony.
I love all native american music..i have a bit of indian blood from my great grandparents..and i always feel so relaxed when i hear this type of music..its great..hope u bring more

I love this music.
A great tribute to the First Nations! A wonderful outstanding performance! Very beautiful video! Meegwetch for this sharing! Many blessings to you!
i live in a place where the roads of today were first buffalo trails, and from what i know the beautiful shawnee lived here. ive found many of their tools and weapons while roaming the woods, and i know this place is sacred ground. i dont need to read it from a book or have a history museum guide tell me what it is or isnt. its essence speaks for itself. and i love this place.
Yshi Tida Wherever you place your foot, I have stepped before........ the past and future touch.
+Yshi Tida Where are you speaking of? I would love to know...our people were from Georgia all the way up through Canada at one time. Thank you for the compliment also by the way. :)
+Shawnee Love I'm in Frankfort ky, on the Kentucky river. I wish I knew what your people called this place before it was "Frankfort" I hate that name lol supposedly named after Stephen Frank who was apparently killed in a battle with the natives upon the settlers arriving via the river. so it was called Frank's fort in memory of him. I would rather remember what this beautiful place was before it was plowed and cemented over. many blessings my friend.
+Yshi Tida Do you know of any buffalo trails that I might be able to walk on that were created initially? I'm in Rochester, not too far away from Buffalo and would love to know where I can visit these paths for myself...
I personally know of no trails you can explore you might what to do a search online for one...or call a tourist office to see if they can help you. Hope this is useful. Enjoy the muisic while you can, its relaxing and full of beauty.
Nice mix of traditional sounds with a contemporary twist :). Its a beautiful way to pay homage to the first nation peoples.

As always excellent job!!!!!!!!!! These always make me want to cry. I believe i was Native American in a past life because i just LOVE your people SO MUCH. I try VERY HARD to follow your ways,and i get SO EMOTIONAL when i hear the music.
Every time I listen to tribal music, no matter which type of Tribal, Native American, African, etc. I always feel closer to the spirits of the Earth. Beautiful :) Thank you for sharing :)
Our bison are in trouble! Because of man and having to close Yellowstone, there's too much pollution! Bison drink water from Yellowstone River! I cried when I found out. Do they really know what it's doing too the Animals who depend on it? I pray this will become a wake up call for MAN!
They are like children, who wait until the last day before the exam to do their homework.

A Noble People off the Nobility of Humankind: a touching Music worthy of this People.
Awesome song and video! I love and respect all Native American tribes. Natives rule!
natives suck. they segregated themselves to pray to some imaginary tree god and put feathers in their hair. and as a result they're the least successfull people in the americas.
Wow the music is so powerful put its the picture that speak volumes to my soul and my heart. Thank you

Happy Tuesday although it is gray on the outside it is sunny as well as beautiful on my inside as I reenergize my spirit and once again with a first the pride I feel when ever I go to play this listing of Native American songs that the list continues to grow as does the list of people who love this music as I do . It's healing of the spirit as well as the wisdom from some of the songs that are sung as well as the beautiful scenery that goes with some of the music.
With much respect for those who make this beautiful music. as well as those who share it with us.
Peace & be well.
Thank you for sharing. I to love native American music. My great grandpa used to take more to the powwows when I was a child. I just loved them. So calming and serene.

What a beautiful music I love Native American music flute that is beautiful❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Sacred and beautiful and so very real. Our proud Lakota and Comanche heritage as well as all of the Plains Tribes and Nations. Buffalo is a sacred creature bestowed upon the People from The Great Spirit. Thank God that we still have small corner remnants of the once endless prairie and plains where echoes of the great herds of the past can still be heard in the wind and the grasses. Thank Creator that we can still hear the songs of The People, the meadowlark, and Old Man Coyote. Preserve our prairies! Remember the Buffalo! Wado!
So accurately stated, Katy! My heart bleeds for the lost freedoms of these most beautiful people! They lost their religion, language, and right to live in peace! I can only imagine the difference there would be on this continent if the settlers and Indians would be ONE people together!! A'Ho!🐢
Maravilhosa... eu amo essa música!!!

LEGEND OF THE BEGINNING
Chewing Black Bones, a respected Blackfeet elder, told Ella E. Clark the following creation myth in 1953. Clark later published the account in her book, Indian Legends from the Northern Rockies.
Old Man came from the south, making the mountains, the prairies, and the forests as he passed along, making the birds and the animals also. He traveled northward making things as he went, putting red paint in the ground here and there --arranging the world as we see it today.
He made the Milk River and crossed it; being tired, he went up on a little hill and lay down to rest. As he lay on his back, stretched out on the grass with his arms extended, he marked his figure with stones. You can see those rocks today, they show the shape of his body, legs, arms and hair.
Going on north after he had rested, he stumbled over a knoll and fell down on his knees. He said aloud, "You are a bad thing to make me stumble so." Then he raised up two large buttes there and named them the Knees. They are called the Knees to this day. He went on farther north, and with some of the rocks he carried with him he built the Sweet Grass Hills.
Old Man covered the plains with grass for the animals to feed on. He marked off a piece of ground and in it made all kinds of roots and berries to grow: camas, carrots, turnips, bitterroot, sarvisberries, bull-berries, cherries, plums, and rosebuds. He planted trees, and he put all kinds of animals on the ground.
When he created the bighorn sheep with its big head and horns, he made it out on the prairie. But it did not travel easily on the prairie; it was awkward and could not go fast. So Old Man took it by its horns, led it up into the mountain, and turned it loose. There the bighorn skipped about among the rocks and went up fearful places with ease. So Old Man said to it, "This is the kind of place that suits you; this is what you are fitted for, the rocks, and the mountains."
While he was in the mountains, he made the antelope out of dirt and turned it loose to see how it would do. It ran so fast that it fell over some rocks and hurt itself. Seeing that the mountains were not the place for it, Old Man took the antelope down to the prairie and turned it loose. When he saw it running away fast and gracefully, he said, "This is what you are suited to, the broad prairie."
One day Old Man decided that he would make a woman and a child. So he formed them both of clay, the woman and the child, her son.
After he had molded the clay in human shape, he said to it,"You must be people." And then he covered it up and went away. The next morning he went to the place, took off the covering, looked at the images, and said "Arise and walk." They did so. They walked down to the river with their maker, and then he told them that his name was NAPI, Old Man.
This is how we came to be people. It is he who made us.
The first people were poor and naked, and they did not know how to do anything for themselves. Old Man showed them the roots and berries and said "You can eat these." Then he pointed to certain trees, "When the bark of these trees is young and tender, it is good. Then you can peel it off and eat it."
He told the people that the animals also should be their food. "These are your herds," he said. "All these little animals that live on the ground -- squirrels, rabbits, skunks, beavers, are good to eat. You need not fear to eat their flesh. All the birds that fly, these too, I have made for you, so that you can eat of their flesh."
Old Man took the first people over the prairies and through the forests, then the swamps to show them the different plants he had created. He told them what herbs were good for sicknesses, saying often, "The root of this herb or the leaf of this herb, if gathered in a certain month of the year, is good for certain sickness." In that way the people learned the power of all herbs. Then he showed them how to make weapons with which to kill the animals for their food. First, he went out and cut some sarvisberry shoots, brought them in, and peeled the bark off them. He took one of the larger shoots, flattened it, tied a string to it, and thus made a bow. Then he caught one of the birds he had made, took feathers from its wing, split them, and tied them to a shaft of wood.
At first he tied four feathers along the shaft, and with this bow sent the arrow toward its mark. But he found that it did not fly well. When he used only three feathers, it went straight to the mark. Then he went out and began to break sharp pieces off the stones. When he tied them at the ends of his arrows, he found that the black flint stones, and some white flint, made the best arrow points.
When the people had learned to make bow and arrows, Old Man taught them how to shoot animals and birds. Because it is not healthful to eat animals' flesh raw, he showed the first people how to make fire. He gathered soft, dry rotten driftwood and made a punk of it. Then he found a piece of hard wood and drilled a hole in it with an arrow point. He gave the first man a pointed piece of hard wood and showed him how to roll it between his hands until sparks came out and the punk caught fire. Then he showed the people how to cook the meat of the animals they had killed and how to eat it.
He told them to get a certain kind of stone that was on the land, while he found a harder stone. With the hard stone he had them hollow out the softer one and so make a kettle. Thus, they made their dishes.
Old Man told the first people how to get spirit power: "Go away by yourself and go to sleep. Something will come to you in your dream that will help you. It may be some animal. Whatever this animal tells you in your sleep, you must do. Obey it. Be guided by it. If later you want help, if you are traveling alone and cry aloud for help, your prayer will be answered. It may be by an eagle, perhaps by a buffalo, perhaps by a bear. Whatever animal hears your prayer you must listen to it."
That was how the first people got along in the world, by the power given to them in their dreams.
After this, Old Man kept on traveling north. Many of the animals that he had created followed him. They understood when he spoke to them, and they were his servants. When he got to the north point of the Porcupine Mountains, he made some more mud images of people, blew his breath upon them, and they became people, men and women. They asked him, "What are we to eat?"
By way of answer, Old Man made many images of clay in the form of buffalo. Then he blew breath upon them and they stood up. When he made signs to them, they started to run. Then he said to the people, "Those animals--buffalo--are your food."
"But how can we kill them?" the people asked.
"I will show you," he answered.
He took them to a cliff and told them to build rock piles: "Now hide behind these piles of rocks," he said. "I will lead the buffalo this way. When they are opposite you, rise up."
After telling them what to do, he started toward the herd of buffalo. When he called the animals, they started to run toward him, and they followed him until they were inside the piles of rock. Then Old Man dropped back. As the people rose up, the buffalo ran in a straight line and jumped over the cliff.
"Go down and take the flesh of those animals," said Old Man.
The people tried to tear the limbs apart, but they could not. Old Man went to the edge of the cliff, broke off some pieces with sharp edges, and told the people to cut the flesh with these rocks. They obeyed him. When they had skinned the buffalo, they set up some poles and put the hides on them. Thus they made a shelter to sleep under.
After Old Man had taught the people all these things, he started off again, traveling north until he came to where the Bow and Elbow Rivers meet. There he made some more people and taught them the same things. From there he went farther north. When he had gone almost to the Red Deer River, he was so tired that he lay down on a hill. The form of his body can be seen there yet, on the top of the hill where he rested.
When he awoke from his sleep, he traveled farther north until he came to a high hill. He climbed to the top of it and there he sat down to rest. As he gazed over the country, he was greatly pleased by it. Looking at the steep hill below him, he said to himself, "This is a fine place for sliding. I will have some fun." And he began to slide down the hill. The marks where he slid are to be seen yet, and the place is known to all the Blackfeet tribes as "Old ManÕs Sliding Ground."
Old Man can never die. Long ago he left the Blackfeet and went away toward the west, disappearing in the mountains. Before he started, he said to the people, "I will always take care of you, and some day I will return."
Even today some people think that he spoke the truth and that when he comes back he will bring with him the buffalo, which they believe the white men have hidden. Others remember that before he left them he said that when he returned he would find them a different people. They would be living in a different world, he said, from that which he had created for them and had taught them to live in.

I do indeed consider this a happy Wednesday when I 1st started listening to this play list I believe that there where 179 songs on it& now there are 195 tracks on it I believe that is absolutely fantastic. this is what I listen to mostly but do enjoy all kinds of music.
Pace & be well & please keep them coming. Absolutely beautiful.
Wonderfully relaxing and resonates with my spirit.
although I don't have enough Indian in me to even fill a thimble the music calls to me and the Rhythm and the meaning and hopefully one day I will be reborn as a Native American not just someone who enjoys the music and the songs in the words but actually become a Native American for those of you who are Native Americans you should be proud you have survived so much you have done so much for this country and I pray that when it's time for the human race to come to an end I hope that God will allow you and your peoples to survive the rest of us don't deserve it but you do that is my true wish my only prayer
Sheila..McCormick..Hello 👋 how are you doing? Hope you’re having a good day I was dropping a comment when I come across your profile.I must say you are a very beautiful woman,I liked what you shared , Although we are not friends on here. .May the lord be with you and your family 🙏🕊🕊
This is a beautiful song.I listen to this and other Native American music before i go to bed as it takes away the stress of the day.This is a far better medicine than any pills or potions.
Happy Sunday all. It is so beautiful on my inside so much that I know when I step outside I can already feel it's beauty. As my spirit is in the healing process as I work harder on my cause as well as justice and the human rights. That the perception of who has them and to what extent is really messed up.
No matter what we look like nor what we have to experience as either Elderly nor Disabled people are treated as though we are second to third class citizen's.
Right here in the USA where people generally treat us this way on a daily basis.
I draw a lot of positive healing for my spirit as well i my heart and soul. As I prepare to help educate those who believe that other's are just as important as they are.
We are all equal's even when people decide that it is OK to mistreat us. Do't forget when we loose one ability the other's become stronger.
I'm so proud to see that every time I come to this selection of Native American music it has grown.
Peace & be well to all.
Much respect to those who both make this beautiful music as well as those who listen and respect this wonderful music.
I may not be "soiux" but whenever I go to A POWWOW, I tear up...I'm part cherokee, love to hear the "drum circle" brings out the "native american" In me
The sound of the drums awaken so much passion in me. It is so hard to watch the Ocean dying. They would not listen to our wisdom. Oh the tears that are in my heart,Oh how much it weeps. The earth she is angry. We warned but they did not listen. The trees have lost their luster. The flowers are sad. It makes me weep so. Chemtrails in the sky. I call out to my spirit guide. I call to my teacher guide.
White Buffalo please help me. I fly to you. The radiation is coming. Please guide me.
very beautiful song I love to listen all the native music.
I'm Ngöbe, native indian from Panama and I identify with these song. whether for mother earth.🌐🌍🌎🌏
Now is the time to release your spirit. Let the tribes return. Let the buffalo roam.
To see all the Tatunka running free across the world makes my Heart rejoice once again.
NICE SONG!!!
NATIVE AMERICANS OR " INDIANS OF AMERICA" WERE, ARE AND WILL ALWAYS BE SOME OF THE WISEST PEOPLE ON EARTH!
THEY HAVE AN AMAZING CONSCIOUSNESS, AWARNESS AND INFINIT LOVE THAT LEAD THEM TO GREAT CONNECTION, HARMONY AND RESPECT WITH EVERY ELEMENT AND CREATURE OF NATURE(INCLUDE HUMAN BEINGS OBVIOUSLY)!
THEY ARE VERY SPIRITUAL AND BELIEVE THAT WE ARE ALL ONE WHITH EVERYTHING ON EARTH AND THE UNIVERSE....
SO DO I !
THEY ARE WONDERFUL PEOPLE THAT SHALL BE LOVED, UNDERSTOOD, RESPECTED AND ( IN OUR FUCKED UP SOCIETY) BE SEEN AS A GREAT EXAMPLE TO THE WAY OF LIFE THAT WE SHOULD FOLLOW TO MAKE OUR WORLD A BETHER PLACE!!!
I AM A EUROPEAN WHITE MAN AND AM ASHAMED AND SAD OF THE HORRIBLE THINGS THAT MY RACE HAS DONE TO THE NATIVE AMERICANS IN THE CONQUEST OF AMERICA (and not only america!!! )
I AM TRULLY SORRY AND IT HURTS ME DEEPLY TO THINK ABOUT IT!
WE ARE ALL ONE CONSCIOUSNESS AND IT'S TIME FOR THE HUMAN RACE TO BE AWARE OF IT!
I LOVE YOU MY NATIVE AMERICAN BROTHERS , YOU ARE VERY PRECIOUS TO ME!
this touched my heart and soul. its so moving thank you
