      I'm sorry for both of your losses. I hope you have many dream visitations from your children. The veil is so close, I only seen my dad a few times growing up, Since he's passed he's always me. He told me in a dream he wasn't dead and he was still here.. I was talking and he shushed me and said "look" I look, and there was one red cardinal perched on a branch that turned it's head and looked at me. Keep talking to your departed loved one's, because they know everything going on in the families life.. and are always a thought away. Angel's and guides as well. ❤

      Did you guys listen to the album version of Warrior people?. This version isnt recorded in a studio but in a gondola and its far better than the album version !! The sometimes blunt sound of the guitar, the roughness of the strings, the rawness of it, thats what actually makes this song so great! This warrior has no time to go to the studio and record, he doesnt care about recording that much, only that his message goes out to the people. I wish I could be part of his movement, ive tried contacting them but no response. One love !

    For so long the Native youth have been brought down by society. I remember traveling off my Reservation and how hard it was because people would publicly mock my culture by saying racial remarks. The sad thing is I was 13 years old at the time. I'm so glad to see and hear artists like Nhako Bear do his thing because it inspires me to be happy with my culture and people. I love my race and wish only for peace and unity for all tribes and nations.

      Never let society bring you down…then they won. You carry the sacred blood of the first nations and should be proud. I live on Long Island. Very few Native folks , mostly just Shinnecock Indian Nation a relative of Alconquin left but every other town has a Native American name…Wantagh, Hauppauge, Merrick, Montauk, , Ronkonkoma, so many more. This reminds us all of our history…a sad one but never lets us forget whose land we are on. Many of us whites feel like we have deep connections and deep sorrow over the treatment of Natives in our history and some feel connected to the souls of the First Nation. When i teach classes on connecting to nature, I always ask forgiveness to our Native American ancestors and ask them to guide us. I think the Earth would be in much better shape if they were still in charge. Be proud Tyson, carrying the blood of such beautiful people. Peace to all!

      I hope everyone gives him a chance to do it. Many are only judging and not trying to help anyone at all. I was thinking maybe people need to walk both sides for a minute before they can truly find their path. Why should he be any different just because some people elevated him to 'God' status. Of course he would be bound to fall eventually. I'm pretty sure that's what he's been saying all along. We are all still 'learning', himself included.. You're the first sympathetic voice I've seen, I think.

      Timothy Walters Aloha ke akua ......
      “Aloha Ke Akua” Lyrics (Non-scrolling)
      Nahko Bear (Medicine for the People)
      Lend your ears, lend your hands,
      Lend your movement, anything you can.
      Come to teach, come to be taught.
      Come in the likeness in the image of God.
      Cause, you can be like that.
      With all that humbleness, and all that respect.
      All of the power invested in me,
      be it hard to love my enemies.
      All of the black bags over the heads of the dead and dying.
      The more I understand about the human race,
      the less I comprehend about our purpose and place
      and maybe if there was a clearer line
      the curiosity would satisfy.
      Time based prophecies that kept me from living,
      in the moment I am struggling
      to trust the divinity of all the guides
      and what the hell they have planned for us.
      I cry for the creatures who get left behind
      but everything will change in a blink of an eye
      and if you wish to survive,
      you will find the guide inside.
      I go back and forth every single day,
      the clarity it comes to me in a choppy way,
      as the feelings and the places
      and the seasons change,
      the galaxies remain.
      Energy fields pullin’ up out of this space.
      The angels that are a couple to the spiritual waste.
      The hate that gets me distant from my spiritual pace.
      Ten fold the manna when the planets are in place, in polar alignment.
      We’re on assignment.
      Bodies on consignment.
      Return them to the circus.
      And what is the purpose?
      What is the purpose and would you believe it?
      Would you believe it
      if you knew what you were for
      and how you became so in form?
      Bodies of info performing such miracles.
      I am a miracle made up of particles
      and in this existence,
      I’ll stay persistent,
      and I’ll make a difference
      and I will have lived it.
      Aloha, Aloha Ke Akua, Ke Akua,

      And the day that I don’t wake up

      I am on my way to a different place….
      I’m not a leader, just a creature,
      seeking the features of a teacher.
      Whether you follow or whether you lead
      All mysterious ways of nature and I’m into it.
      Changing management.
      And there are various ways to conquer this monotonous metropolis,
      my stubbornness is bottomless,
      my fearlessness is talking shit
      and I’m wide awake and I’m taking names.

      Do you believe in the perfectness of where you are?
      These are my people, these are my children,
      this is the land that I would fight for.
      My solidarity is telling me to patiently
      be moving the musical medicine around the planet in a hurry,
      Cuz there’s no time to waste.

    I am a 40 something Caucasian male.
    I have heard and listened to Warrior People hundreds of times since discovering it about a year or so ago.
    Warrior People touches my soul. I connect with it on a level most people won't understand.
    For me, it represents walking life's path, and overcoming it's trials and hardships and keep pushing forward.
    We are all one people...
    I used to have extreme anger management issues, and this song softened my heart..
    "I will learn to be Peaceful, But I keep my knife at my side. I will pray for compassion, but if war comes to my door, I will be Blasting", that lyric alone opened my eyes to my inner struggle with my anger problem.
    It has taken me this long to comment because so many will judge the fact that I'm a Caucasian. How could this song connect with me?
    I'm sure some of y'all will have negative responses...
    But all I can say to that ignorance would be...

      Look man 40ish . Your a shame slave . The human mammal is thermally adaptive. Cold climates endured by our ancestors when they wondered northern Europe gave rise to increased energy, mental and physical. Granted we have lost touch nearly completely with our tribal past , and to some degree a sense of community along with it . But you my friend have nothing to be ashamed of . My ancestors where the Picts of Scotland and when I think back to how they lived , vs how native Americans lived . I see no difference

      Are you decendant from tjhe people of the Caucuses? or European
      They are different races. Tribes from the Caucuses are the Ancestors to the Indo race. Anglo refers to the fair skinned European race. Neither superior to the other. All 7 races are important in their own right.

You being amazing doesn't diminish us. When we or you build you, everyone gets stronger, because we're on the same team. True love. When we build ourselves we strengthen everything we love. Like seeds in the earth bursting with desire, we were just biding our time to set the world on fire. With a line inspired by all the sparks that fired in the illusions. Our map. We the sparks of everything burn for the everything we love. Everything loves us too. Go team.

    I will learn to be peaceful but I keep my knife at my side
    I will pray for compassion
    But if war comes to my door you know
    I will be blasting warrior mentality my responsibility bringing in to my people now
    Holla if you feeling me
    Feeling me, feeling me, feeling me, feeling me yeah
    Feeling me, feeling me, feeling me, feeling me yeah
    Feeling me, feeling me, feeling me, feeling me yeah
    Feeling me, feeling me, feeling me, feeling me yeah
    I have two mothers, two beautiful mothers
    One of them is brown and one of them is white
    One of them taught me to be peaceful
    One of them taught me how to fight
    Now I put the two together and I know wrong from right
    I have two fathers two beautiful fathers
    One of them is brown and one of them is white
    One of them taught me how to sing
    One of them taught me how to write
    Now I put the two together and I know wrong from right
    I am a white man I raped my children
    I am a black man I killed an African
    I am a woman I am a Muslim
    I was raised Christian now I am forgiven
    Saved my native wisdom I follow my traditions
    I teach my children who to trust and how to listen
    Are you listening', are are you listening'
    Are you listening', are are you listening
    Are you listening', are are you listening
    I teach my children who to trust and how to listen

    Two years ago I stumbled across this video by chance having never heard of Nahko Bear. Two years later I own all of his albums, have seen him in concert twice, and can genuinely say that I have been changed by his music. Thank you for this video and for spreading the love.

      This same thing happened to me a few years ago! I'm so grateful for discovering his music! And so here I am revisiting the video that I first saw of him years later! :D
