Well, I sure didn’t!!!! I didn’t understand one word of it, but then I’m not Navajo!! Dine(sp.?!)!! But I sure appreciate her doing that!!! And I’m kind of surprised/flabbergasted that someone so young could sing our national anthem in Navajo! Because I’ve heard that the young people aren’t wanting to learn the language… And I don’t know how true that is or not!? but thank you very much!!! And what a beautiful voice she has!! I bet her family was very proud of her, besides all the other Navajos!!!!! ❤
@@RickNelms-ge7gu well good for you. Sadly the constitution isn’t a document for logic. It’s rules/laws. You know the ones the GOP decides if they will follow when it’s convenient for them and not when it prohibits them from overthrowing the government and the election. But I suspect then you agree with my statement about taking a knee. Freedom of speech. Nice try tho.
I’m a 75 yr. Old Viet Nam veteran brought to tears by this young lady’s rendition of our National Anthem and the respect shown by all in attendance. You all have my deepest heartfelt respect and admiration.
As a disabled military veteran I felt this version of our national anthem was absolutely BEAUTIFUL! This is the first time I have heard our national anthem sung in a true language of our country. Thank you Ms. Calla Smith.
English is a true language of our country lmao The United States is an English country. Sure, we won the land in battles against native tribes, but this land is now the US, and it is English.
Our National Anthem is beautiful in any language. This rendition in the Navajo language touched my heart, and the beautiful woman did a beautiful performance.
I had to stand in my kitchen in respect. She'd made the code talkers very proud. She made this old American warrior proud. One nation under God indivisible...
That young Lady just earned this old former Marines total respect. That was absolutely beautiful. Our National Anthem is for ALL Americans, regardless of language spoken. Every person in that Gym standing showing respect not just for her, but for our Flag and our nation. That, in considering what normally happens in a lot of places today, was really moving. Makes me believe that there is still hope for our country.
Do you call him Honor? Navajo is going to sing the national anthem. If the whites were the ones who massacred and annihilated our ancestors, so much humiliation of the whites until that point of singing the bloody hymn where they killed the children, women, and cut them to pieces and were crowned for each Indian they killed. and invaded our lands?
The Republicans would freak out. They'd claim it's some kind of anti-vvhite diversity power play and that English is the true language of the US. So I think it should happen because their sobbing brings me joy.
That was beautiful, she should be singing The National Anthem in Navajo at the National level such as NFL, NBA, MLB, NASCAR and Lacrosse. The singer needs to be heard. America, we are still here.
I’m a retired Sailor. Don’t ever saw that again Devil Dog. You earned the Eagle Globe and Anchors. Say that again and I’ll come over there and make you buy me a few beers while we make fun of the other branches:)
Wrong choice of words. Owe you a beer. Proud military family back to beginning of this great land. Son Lt Cmd in Pentagon. Sempre Fi. God bless America.
Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful - and you should be so proud of your native language! If it was'nt for the Navajo there probably would not be an America today - thank you Navajo nation!!! ❤❤❤

This was absolutely beautiful. Her voice is fantastic. And singing it in Navajo was amazing. This is only the second time someone ever sang the national anthem and made me cry. The first time and only other time was Whitney Houston.
WOW... BEAUTIFUL voice. BEAUTIFUL young lady. SO MUCH courage, grace, and poise to sing that song. She is a better person than most of us. Native Americans are such AMAZING and INCREDIBLE people. ❤❤❤

This is not disrespectful but beautiful. Don't forget about how her native language also helped keep codes from being read by the Germans in WWII, which kept many soldiers safe.
Code Talkers were used against the Japanese not Germans. If you are going to make a statement, you need to be correct in that statement. I have nothing against the rendition of the National Anthem that she sang, it was beautiful in her native language. OSCS(SW) USN RET'D 1978-2002
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL redition. I actually had tears in my eyes again. Because YOU felt the Words, the Music, and the Patriotism to sing out Anthem with such feeling and emotion. THANK YOU SO MUCH CALLI!
What a beautiful and awesome young lady with such talent and can feel the love she has for out great country we owe our deep respect to this great native culture!!!!!
Being someone who once lived with the Hopi near Oriabi I truly appreciate the patriotism I see among the Navajo. Thank you. George and Sarah Luther, from Kayenta and she was Miss Navajo Nation 50 years ago are old friends of mine.

We used to sometimes get Window Rocks' Radio Station on our Oldsmobiles' radio💖🎵🎼Even in California,Los Angeles on windy and some calm nights. How lovely to hear you sing from out in Window Rock!! Now we are far away and have come such a long way to Arkansas- your singing is a blessing,a gift from GOD❤❤❤🌻
After what our country has done to The People to witness the national anthem in their language humbles me and shows me what grace, resilience, strength, and honor looks like.
^^^ this ^^^ as an Anglo I’ve attended several pow wows and have always been so humbled and impressed at the outpouring of patriotism to this country by The People from red white and blue streamers on teepee poles to US flags outside of them to old men wearing their uniform and carrying a flag and so proud of their service to their country to carrying the flag during the Grand Entry even after all of the suffering and injustice. Much love and respect for you all.
Black American here… so touched. Glad for all the times our people came together to move this country forward so we can all be here to enjoy and be proud of a moment like this🖤❤️
Ya’at’eeh. Watching this and listening to you brought back 33ish year old memories from when I lived in Tuba City and Tonalea. Beautiful, beautiful people. I cried. Thank your parents and grandparents for teaching you Navajo.
This was the most beautiful song!!! The Native Americans are the original keepers of this land and deserve much more ...I also love the way the team-menbers interlocked their arms...such unity...so lacking all over..refreshing to see and restoring hope for me

The Navajo code talkers saved many lives in the south pacific as well. The Japanese could never break the code. 🇺🇸❤🙏🙏
There was a similar group of Cherokee codetalkers with the United States Army in Europe.

And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave
One of the most beautiful versions of a wonderful song. Sung by a true American.
wow that was so awsome tks sister for the beautiful song 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Beautiful 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 She gave me goose bumps. ❤❤❤❤
This was absolutely beautiful. Her voice is fantastic. And singing it in Navajo was amazing. This is only the second time someone ever sang the national anthem and made me cry. The first time and only other time was Whitney Houston.
WOW... BEAUTIFUL voice. BEAUTIFUL young lady. SO MUCH courage, grace, and poise to sing that song. She is a better person than most of us. Native Americans are such AMAZING and INCREDIBLE people. ❤❤❤
Too many "Americans" SELL fireworks and DRAMA. (Enough to cause Kate Smith and Edith Piaf to roll over in their graves!) She ain't no Hollywood manufactured hussy, that's for sure!!
This young lady actually has been blessed with TWO distinctively different QUALITY VOICE-S.
WE aren't able to SPEAK most of the languages of the Native Indians NOR the immigrants. I should be speaking German and Broken Irish, but we settled for English!
Too bad Wild Bill Cody turned many of them into circus elephants.
Wonder who in the UK is going to be able to RETAIN good aspects of their countries' diversities as well?
They WERE instructed to learn English , however many retained their native tongue;
It's America's spiritual KARMA overdo that concerns some of U.S.
Calla actually has "two" distinctively different "voiceS" Plural.
LOVE HER; A STRONG ALTO WITH A SOPRANO WITH GUSTO! BEAUTIFUL!
(Other singers make them lower the key to accommodate their incompetence!)
Music definitely IS the universal language.
GOOD FOR YOU, CALLA!
We've got an original perfect for your voice (voiceS!)

Beautiful!!!!just beautiful
I'm a Old Man. Red Blooded American all the way. This is Absolutely Beautiful and Amazing. Love this
Absolutely beautiful!! THANK YOU!
Her voice is beautiful!
This is not disrespectful but beautiful. Don't forget about how her native language also helped keep codes from being read by the Germans in WWII, which kept many soldiers safe.
Exactly
WHY would the idea of "disrespectful" even come up?
Correction: it kept the codes from being understood by the Japanese.
Code Talkers were used against the Japanese not Germans. If you are going to make a statement, you need to be correct in that statement. I have nothing against the rendition of the National Anthem that she sang, it was beautiful in her native language. OSCS(SW) USN RET'D 1978-2002
Actually, the Navajo Code talkers served in the Pacific Theater, not in Europe, but they were instrumental in helping to win WW2.
As a veteran and Native American myself….God bless this young lady. Beautiful song ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Absolutely Beautiful…
Calla, the world is a better place with you in it! Such a beautiful voice from such a special girl.
That took my breath away!

Being someone who once lived with the Hopi near Oriabi I truly appreciate the patriotism I see among the Navajo. Thank you.
George and Sarah Luther, from Kayenta and she was Miss Navajo Nation 50 years ago are old friends of mine.
God Bless America
This made me cry. One of the greatest renditions of our anthem I have ever heard. THANK YOU😢

That was remarkably moving. ❤ what a lovely voice.
How wonderful! This brought me to tears!
Absolutely beautiful. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
This rendition and her voice gave me goosebumps. Beyond beautiful.
Oh my goodness, brought a tear to my eyes. God Bless you and the USA.
That was so beautiful. Well done!
We used to sometimes get Window Rocks' Radio Station on our Oldsmobiles' radio💖🎵🎼Even in California,Los Angeles on windy and some calm nights. How lovely to hear you sing from out in Window Rock!! Now we are far away and have come such a long way to Arkansas- your singing is a blessing,a gift from GOD❤❤❤🌻
We are one people....Americans 🇺🇸
you believe that, why sing an anthem that no one understands?
@@CelticBearWoman Why do the blacks have to have their own entirely?
@@CelticBearWomanyour ignorance is astounding.
If you can't recognize the tune and sing along why complain???
Let those who would divide us hear your words
After what our country has done to The People to witness the national anthem in their language humbles me and shows me what grace, resilience, strength, and honor looks like.
You are right.
What makes me sad and angry is that the Republicans are trying to remove the Indigenous people's story from our history books.
^^^ this ^^^ as an Anglo I’ve attended several pow wows and have always been so humbled and impressed at the outpouring of patriotism to this country by The People from red white and blue streamers on teepee poles to US flags outside of them to old men wearing their uniform and carrying a flag and so proud of their service to their country to carrying the flag during the Grand Entry even after all of the suffering and injustice. Much love and respect for you all.
Black American here… so touched. Glad for all the times our people came together to move this country forward so we can all be here to enjoy and be proud of a moment like this🖤❤️
White American here, and i couldn't agree more. It's beautiful to behold. ❤🇺🇸
Well said.
That was beautiful!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Beautiful young lady. Beautiful voice. Beautiful rendition. Thank you for sharing. ❤
Absolutely beautiful!!!
OUTSTANDING!
Ya’at’eeh. Watching this and listening to you brought back 33ish year old memories from when I lived in Tuba City and Tonalea. Beautiful, beautiful people. I cried.
Thank your parents and grandparents for teaching you Navajo.
How beautiful and what a voice! She did it perfectly. Thank you
Utterly beautiful!
Our Anthem is always moving but this was a beautiful rendition. On behalf of our whole nation I thank the Navajo Nation .
This was the most beautiful song!!! The Native Americans are the original keepers of this land and deserve much more ...I also love the way the team-menbers interlocked their arms...such unity...so lacking all over..refreshing to see and restoring hope for me
I am a veteran, and this moved me. This is the prettiest rendition of the National Anthem I’ve ever heard.
