Navajo Early Morning Blessing "Hooghan" from the album Sacred Mountains by Louie Gonnie courtesy Canyon Records (www.canyonrecords.com). Graphics by Rezboyz Designz
First thing my dad did every morning. Wake up, wake up siblings up, telling not to be lazy and wake up with the sun.. Then throws cedar on the hot stove top or some hot ash.. Bless us and tell us to eat before we head to school.. So much he taught us and now passed down to our children.. To this day i thank him so much for making me a strong child to a loving independent mother.. R.I.P dad.. Always be missed and memories go on. 💖💗💖💗💖💗
*May the Diné (Navajo Nation) be blessed and always be kept sacred.* *Never to have their Tradition and Language taken away, stolen or forgotten.* *Always have their heritage.* *Treated with respect and honor.* *Prevail in the future and live on.* *And grow; plentiful, influential, powerful, prosperous and great.*
@TAXAT. YES MY FRIEND WE BELIEVE EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE DIFFERENT LANGUAGES... PRAYER WILL ALWAYS SPEAK THROUGH THE SPIRIT AND TRANSLATE... LOVE YOU MY FRIEND FROM AFAR HAVE A GREAT DAY
So beautiful and moving. I am so grateful to get the possibility to listen to this song! Is it possible to get a translation or an idea about the text? Greetings from my heart from germany.
Sing a song like this. Song means; Go in the bright daylight, in the bright daylight (repeat 4 times). The sun is awake now, look! Welcome! wake up and see light. It quietly comes out and makes all visible. Go when the sun rises so that you can see everything . Go in the bright daylight, in the bright daylight (repeat 2 times). The sun comes out here, the sun comes out here, the sun comes out here... the sunlight comes out during the daytime. Light comes from within... (Repeat 3times) "Navajo" means ; look at me(please)
I remember waking up at 3:30 am excited because I woke up before my grandpa. When I walked into the living room he was fully dressed and o showed him this song.
I grew up around the Navajo tribe in New Mexico, and through this song I can imagine the holy people coming down to bless us in the early hours of the morning
I'm Irish...I'm also lucky to live on the Nth Western Shores of the Atlantic Ocean and daily walk my Dog on deserted Beaches which gives me an advantageous insight to Mother Nature over City dwellers...from whirling sands around my feet....to roaring waves....distant Mountains....smells all around of Plants....cut Hay.... mowed Lawns....yes Mother Earth has really surpassed herself to me and I'll never stop Thanking her....I walk in Beauty every Day....Thank you Mother Earth....
I don't understand a word but it's so beautiful and calm. I close my eyes and I find myself in a better world - the world as it's meant to be... Now more than ever what we need is a little love.
StrangeAngel7 I do so agree! I wish I had been brought up this way! I’m adopted...I don’t know much of where I came from. No blood relatives do I know.
I am Dene from Northern Alberta and I love to share prayers and stories like this with my children. I really like the story of how we Dene are related to Dine people. Someday I hope to see and be a part of a long lost connection to help strengthen our people to the old ways. Thank you to everyone who shares, creates, and teaches these ways to the young people.
I heard about this. My uncle went up there one yr. Was very shocked to hear Natives speaking straight Navajo. He came home to us and told us. We were shocked too. So good to know we hav brothers and sisters there n Canada.
Through our first clan ii'ni'£igaii (white lightning) we are relatives @42022coop. We are a few among many dine' who's clan starts with this. Glad im one of them
This song reminds me of my grandmother who used to sing this song. Wake up to her singing this song cooking eggs coffee and fry bread. She has gone over to be with the holy people. This song makes me proud to be Dinè😸
As a full blood navajo i send my blessings to all my navajo people ...and i send my blessings to my gorgeous wife ,angel and her family ...and send my blessings to all the people in the world god bless you all and your familyz
This song brings me back to my childhood when I used to live with my nalí s and every morning when we would get ready to go to school we would listen to ktnn and my nalí would have the table ready with breakfast.. now I live in the city with my mother and I wish at times I can go back in time and revisit my childhood.. ayoonishnii shi nalí
I relate as well. I live in my Phoenix but I was raised on the rez and I wish deeply that I could go back as a child. Living there and learning the language and way of life filled me with a newfound wisdom that won't leave me
I am not Navajo, but I am Native American. My Potawatomi grandfather married a Navajo woman and they raised me. The woman's daughter, my aunt, used to play Navajo music including this piece. Every morning I heard this song. I am Navajo in my heart.
Last names don't establish genetic heritage: Many First Nations people were fostered or adopted and forced to take white names. Some chose to take their fathers first names, just as the first ANDERSONS AND ANDERSENS, THOMPSONS, JACKSONS, etc. in England, Scotland, and Scandinavia. If your Great-great grandfather was white, and you descended from his son, grandson, great grandson, and great-grandson, but all the females were Lakota, you would be 15/16th Lakota, but g have your great, great grandfather's white name. Your mitochondrial DNA is passed ONLY through the maternal line. My Irish ancestors were also forbidden to speak their own language or have most civil rights under English occupation that began before the English took their "Irish Plantation" system to the New World. The more I learn about my own ethnic heritage, the more empathy I have for the First Nations. Thank you for sharing this blessed song.
@@aukua5512he might be Mexican. For me it was a long process asking family for names dates and stories. My dads side was easy being from south Texas the missions kept good records. Although washed out in terms of keeping culture. My last name was one of the surnames givin to the tlaxcaltecas to settle northern Mexico and south Texas. And forced into slavery by the Spanish. For my moms side they’re from northern chihuahua. Some blue eyes and some “mestizo” and some “prieto/Indio” this was the hardest to find records on but we still are around casas grandes and Janos and have been since the 1800s. Before then the records stop. Leading just on assumptions. It was told we were tarahumara but I have none stating so. Only coyotero/yndio, in Janos.. which were Apache. I have taken it upon my self to learn Nahuatl but that didn’t satisfy me. Every mexican and their dads claim Aztec decent. Now I’m on the path to learn more about the Apache. White mountain and Chiricahua as they were both in northern chihuahua where my family has been. But it seems difficult to reconnect but I’m still trying lol
I'm white and have been fascinated by the Native American culture... This music makes the hair stand up on my neck. Such beauty and spirituality... Nothing but respect and blessings to all Native American people
I lived near Shiprock, New Mexico while working at the Northern New Mexico Navajo Hospital in Shiprock. I have great admiration for the Dine. They welcomed me and were very kind. I will forever be grateful for the time at Shiprock.
Far away from the homeland of my ancestors...and I can't go back...my life is coming to an end...I comfort my soul by listening to the music of the natives...
I'm no longer homeless. I'm grateful that I started listening to chants it has helped me with my spiritual walk and I turn around and listen to the word of God it's guide me
I have native blood as well, i am indigenous to North America and I’m so grateful and honored to be apart of a beautiful collective of love . I may not be this tribe . But love is my frequency 💕🌀
I remember my ExFather~In~Law would be singing this ever morning... Even if I didn’t understand his Navajo Language, I had GREAT RESPECT for him... He was alwys so kind to me, he never judged anyone ~ alwys looking at the good in everyone... I Miss him a lot ~ R.I.P W.Blackhrse... He well alwys b in my heart and my thoughts including his Grandchildren... Thnx for sharing ~ really made me feel good to hear this!!!
This makes me miss my mom in the mountains. Just to wake up to her telling me to wake up before the sun and stop sleeping with sleepy man. Already having the fire made and smelling the strong coffee with food cooking. 💗💕💗
This song makes me happy to be Navajo. Shi'masani always tells me "get up greet father sky and mother earth.! Pray and Bless yourself."... She makes sure I never forget where I came from.. And who my people are ❤❤
Ahóó Thank you creator for letting see another year , let me learn from my mistakes an lemme be cleanse from my past an protect everyone that is Reading this . ❤ Many blessings
My grandfather is from Navajo Tribe. I grow up in Philippines but my heart and soul is longing to where my blood belongs. Love my native brothers and sisters.
i have Cherokee in my blood and my mother had a native american folklore book that i i used to love to read and i feel that is the true way that god meant for us to live is respecting our mother earth and always giving thanks for whatever blessings she gives us. god bless us all and give us strength to carry the message to the next generation.
Crying for my depression to go away this took it all away ixehe my brothers from an 100 💯% native american apache ndn from new mexico I'm 0% African and 0% european who will never surrender to any man 🙏🏾🌎🕵🏾♀️ much love to my navajo native bros and sisters despite the past i love you all i have your back all we have is each other we need to stay strong for our ancestors and culture and our PEOPLE THE NAVAJO APACHE KIDS ☀️🕵🏾♀️🙏🏾
Signed up for a native church and do Ayahuasca they're legal here. Or learn the toltec apprenticeship book of Carlos Castaneda and Don Miguel Ruiz I am positive they will help.
Walking on the path of Beauty is the Navajo way, My relatives that cared for me, taught me well to walk the path of Beauty. At 75 I am happy to be content with all the beauty around me. Love to all.
I am an Irish-American (Irish - American Boomer, really. Thank you for posting this beautiful prayer. I so appreciate the Dine concept of the Beauty Path. I pray that our society will soon be influenced by its wisdom & humanity.
what a beautiful and complex language..such beautiful music..cannot describe the feelings it gives me. I only wish I could speak and understand it..so beautiful...
if u are mexican or mexican descendant (non white) then the feeling is the mutuality we have with Native american, when u hear this its makes u feel distant, as if u are lost, and a feeling nostalgic. If u are mexican or other latino then u only feel that because there is a uncut connection which u have been cut from, our race walked from norther asia, and our ancestors stayed along today's Alaska, Canada, USA, then more of us went further down into Mexico, Central America, and South America, a peaceful race who understood the importance of coexisting with mother earth, until the god of the cross invaded.
At one time there were People who came up from South america into the 4-Corners area and brought with them the Teachings that were untainted by the blood-letting. They called themselves the Flower Soldiers. An excellent book by a Cheyenne man, "Lightningbolt" speaks autobiographically of being taught by one of the last remaining Teachers. It is out of print but can be bought used on Amazon. It will help you feel less 'cut'.
@@williamgray7130 unfortunately I saw this comment too late, no such book is available on Amazon through my search. Is it titled, "Flower Soldiers" by Lighteningbolt?
I remember sitting in a hogan and hearing my grandpa sing this then my father joined in but now I'm sitting in a home with a bed, clothes, electronics. I'm grateful listen stories from your elders and learn blessings from them i was too late with my grandma and grandpa
I'm home and I see my relative and neighbor still sing the protection and prayer song... I like to listen and it open my ears and eyes agian... I feel safe here at home.. i love my family and there teaching .
I am always pleased to see that this little known part of North American history is kept alive still today. There are riches of tradition, song, dance, and and stories that many people would do well to hear and see.
@@jikenx9264 .. Thank you for your wise words I am a Native of New Zealand and all Natives of Turtle Island and Canada are our Relatives Kia ora [Ya at eeh] (O'siyo wago wado) A'ho [Ngati Porou Nation New Zealand]

Like all People whom are interested in a Particular Subject I Googled it- Plus an Apache Woman from Texas I am a Facebook Friend with Told Me her Greeting (Ya Ta Say) and I Told her Mine Kia Ora- Also I have Ancestral Connections to the Navajo-Hopi Nations of North Western Arizona and learned some of their language by Google and Video's like this one- Tena koe e hoa ma- Mitakuye Oyasin- A'ho [Ngati Porou Nation Ki Te Rohe O Te Tairawhiti O Aotearoa]
We are all related I'm native american and see islanders as native people as well Maori and we all have suffered the same we have all overcome and what ever the world has thrown at us
Wow thank you for translating! If feels better being able to read it and learn it. I've been listening by ear for a while now but have been missing the words totally. Thanks again!!
every time i wake up, my mom, her sisters, my grandma, grandpa, my uncle, and my dad would wake up before the sun would come up, they'd tell me and my cousins to run, run until the sun came up but before we went running they sang this song and more 💖💖 I miss living with them. nizhoní ❤
I am both European and Native and the path of pollen connects us all to life and beauty. I am happy I bought this Sacred Mountains CD..... May we all love and respect our one Mother Earth....
Truly Beautiful Blessing. I don’t know if it means much, but I really want to thank you all for sharing your spiritual culture with us. A World of Blessings to you as well.
So you dismiss the navajo that aren't full blood? The ones who became mixed because they were taken from their homeland? How very petty of you. You must have had bad elders that taught you such an ignorant perspective or you are a bad native who did not listen. And everyone wonders why their people have not risen from their isolated existence.
Very beautiful song. To wake each morning. And to sing this song. To lift up your spirit. And be grateful for what you have. Would help you get through the whole day. Thank you for sharing your song. God bless all of you.
Hi I'm Chris I'm from San Felipe Pueblo New Mexico and I love the song and yea that's true like me I get up every morning before I go to school and feed the sun with corn meal and pray like my grandparents say we pray for our family's and we talk to the spirit's when we throw the corn meal out side and feed the sun and spirit's. But thank you(: for shareing the video it was beautiful (:
New Mexico is my home. Mt.Taylor has always been my 'sacred Mountain'. For many years I awoke with the sun glinting off the little san mateo lake on the westside of this sacred mountain. Now I awaken with the sound of chimes & birds here where the mountains meet the high desert. Thank you for singing this song for us. It is a good song for a "monday" morning for shure!! For every day it is a blessing indeed! AHO! Mitakuye O'yasin. (we are all relations, all people all animals all plants, Earth
Found out I have Navajo Hetitage 2 years ago, always wondered and felt a kindred spirit when I heard the language and music, It spoke to me. My great great grandmother was adopted and her heritage was hidden, makes me so sad. This is so beautiful. Thank you.
Listening to this is always the best part of my day. Four times I play it. I thank you for this. May you be feel loved and valued all the days of your life. Thank You.
Yá'át'ééh............WOW! I just posted this on my families website. We are Koyukon Athabascan we are also Dine. We are called the Far North people to you. This is one of the most beautiful I have seen the art work is just outstanding! Semper Fi! Kim S
Thanks for posting this song it truely touched my heart. I miss the Navajo Nation and going to peyote mtgs n navajo ceremonials. But @ this point i have2 keep continuing my education it's hard i miss everything back home but i needa do this for me. I hope to see the rez soon and i still pray n the morning to the holy spirits. Hózhóogo naasháa Aho!
Very beautiful !!!! I Love it!! !!! I wish everyone a fantastic,enjoyable,healthy and Blessed Tuesday!!!Sweet greetings and warm hugs to you all my dear best friends!!!!Stefan🍀✌😍☀️ !!!
I miss my grandparents so much they were the leaders of our family they both passed away earlier this year and they taught us so much of our navajo traditions, I feel lost without them. I'm afraid of losing the traditions and connections with extended family members. I'm Scared of not being able to share those experiences with my kids. These prayers mean so much. I know as a grand daughter I have some big shoes to fill I just hope I do them right and honor my grandparents. 🙏
I am of another nationality, I have no idea what is being said, but it speaks to my soul and gives me peace. Thank you for sharing this beautiful part of your heritage. I appreciate at you and blessings for the new year.
My father used to come come in early in the mornings hit me on the head with a pillow and say get up boy you're burning daylight . it was 4:30 in the morning I would say Dad IT'S dark outside boy now we got to really work HARD .for we have burned UP THE light... Then HE would laugh ...I wish HE was here to wake ME again THE SAME WAY .. But NOW HASHEM WAKES ME UP AROUND 2 A.M....JUST BECAUSE HE LOVES ME AND WANTS TO SPEND TIME WITH ME - LIKE MY EARTHLY FATHER DID....THANKS FOR LOVING ME.SO MUCH..
I feel so blessed to learn from so many kindred cultures for such a time as this. I am as comfortable at a Pow Wow as I am in a Baptist Church. It is all part of me. Thank you sharing!
yay yay Dine!!! hi to all my brothers and sisters on the rez down south, i am here in Canada right now, far from my people, but i am SO proud to be Navajo (and other part is from the Lower Nicola Tribe)! keep on truckin!
I never meet my great grandmother but she was half Navajo and half Blackfoot she was a brave and strong lady this song and other Navajo and Blackfoot bring me closer to her. Anyone else feel this way?
I remember when my dad use to wake up at 4 in the morning every morning and sing this song with his mom towards the sun. Oh how much I miss my dad
I miss my dad too :(
That is very nice to have the old people in your spirit, remember that, for this is very special amongst the peoples of this world.
Cheryl Kee ÅÅÅMÆÑ @ blessings sisters & brothers...

Sing a song like this. Song means;
Go in the bright daylight, in the bright daylight (repeat 4 times). The sun is awake now,
look! Welcome! wake up and see light.
It quietly comes out and makes all visible.
Go when the sun rises so that you can see everything .
Go in the bright daylight, in the bright daylight (repeat 2 times). The sun comes out here, the sun comes out here, the sun comes out here... the sunlight comes out during the daytime. Light comes from within...
(Repeat 3times)
"Navajo" means ; look at me(please)
Very important!!🤍💙💛🖤
Not Navajo but I love the language and am learning it. May you have a strong journey and be successful. 😊
I remember waking up at 3:30 am excited because I woke up before my grandpa. When I walked into the living room he was fully dressed and o showed him this song.

Youre blessing the dirt and thanking the dirt for the dirt?

Close your eyes, listen to this song and your spirit will be blessed with calmness and love. Native Nation, native pride.
I am not Navajo, but I am Native American. My Potawatomi grandfather married a Navajo woman and they raised me. The woman's daughter, my aunt, used to play Navajo music including this piece. Every morning I heard this song. I am Navajo in my heart.

@@steveboy7302 sorry, I'm Navajo. You cannot do anything about it. I love my blood.
@@steveboy7302 I think the natives who keep denying the spirit In others because of the skin are the ones who aren’t real navajos
Awesome!!
I hope you make it to the four corners
The wind and a summer floaty seed just said hello to me, this song is beautiful 😊
i have Cherokee in my blood and my mother had a native american folklore book that i i used to love to read and i feel that is the true way that god meant for us to live is respecting our mother earth and always giving thanks for whatever blessings she gives us. god bless us all and give us strength to carry the message to the next generation.
Crying for my depression to go away this took it all away ixehe my brothers from an 100 💯% native american apache ndn from new mexico I'm 0% African and 0% european who will never surrender to any man 🙏🏾🌎🕵🏾♀️ much love to my navajo native bros and sisters despite the past i love you all i have your back all we have is each other we need to stay strong for our ancestors and culture and our PEOPLE THE NAVAJO APACHE KIDS ☀️🕵🏾♀️🙏🏾
Signed up for a native church and do Ayahuasca they're legal here. Or learn the toltec apprenticeship book of Carlos Castaneda and Don Miguel Ruiz I am positive they will help.
Right on ✊
Hopefully you're feeling better
Brilliant..Transforming, healing, empowering..!!
I am half white, half Mohawk Native American. It is cool to see the rest of native tribes.
Walking on the path of Beauty is the Navajo way, My relatives that cared for me, taught me well to walk the path of Beauty. At 75 I am happy to be content with all the beauty around me. Love to all.
I am an Irish-American (Irish - American Boomer, really. Thank you for posting this beautiful prayer. I so appreciate the Dine concept of the Beauty Path. I pray that our society will soon be influenced by its wisdom & humanity.
what a beautiful and complex language..such beautiful music..cannot describe the feelings it gives me. I only wish I could speak and understand it..so beautiful...
if u are mexican or mexican descendant (non white) then the feeling is the mutuality we have with Native american, when u hear this its makes u feel distant, as if u are lost, and a feeling nostalgic. If u are mexican or other latino then u only feel that because there is a uncut connection which u have been cut from, our race walked from norther asia, and our ancestors stayed along today's Alaska, Canada, USA, then more of us went further down into Mexico, Central America, and South America, a peaceful race who understood the importance of coexisting with mother earth, until the god of the cross invaded.
+BlueMoonLightDreams i agree with you. i enjoy listening to this music. makes me feel peaceful.
At one time there were People who came up from South america into the 4-Corners area and brought with them the Teachings that were untainted by the blood-letting. They called themselves the Flower Soldiers. An excellent book by a Cheyenne man, "Lightningbolt" speaks autobiographically of being taught by one of the last remaining Teachers. It is out of print but can be bought used on Amazon. It will help you feel less
'cut'.
@@williamgray7130 unfortunately I saw this comment too late, no such book is available on Amazon through my search. Is it titled, "Flower Soldiers" by Lighteningbolt?
Duo lingo!
I remember sitting in a hogan and hearing my grandpa sing this then my father joined in but now I'm sitting in a home with a bed, clothes, electronics. I'm grateful listen stories from your elders and learn blessings from them i was too late with my grandma and grandpa

Ser y estar en la presencia del amor de nuestros ancestros, estar en unión ❤
I am always pleased to see that this little known part of North American history is kept alive still today. There are riches of tradition, song, dance, and and stories that many people would do well to hear and see.
Today is a good day to wake with gratitude and sing towards the sun. An early morning blessing thank you

Well said, my bro :)
every time i wake up, my mom, her sisters, my grandma, grandpa, my uncle, and my dad would wake up before the sun would come up, they'd tell me and my cousins to run, run until the sun came up but before we went running they sang this song and more 💖💖 I miss living with them. nizhoní ❤
Good morning and a beautiful day for all my Beloved Ones - with this marvelous blessing!
I am both European and Native and the path of pollen connects us all to life and beauty. I am happy I bought this Sacred Mountains CD..... May we all love and respect our one Mother Earth....
Da'an'zho I'm 100 💯% native american apache of texas much love 🕵🏾♀️💎🤜🏾🤛🏾
Truly Beautiful Blessing.
I don’t know if it means much, but I really want to thank you all for sharing your spiritual culture with us. A World of Blessings to you as well.
I'm glad that I am navajo and i am full blood navajo
Same
I'm happy that i'm Navajo
Do you know of any real medicine people who are healers? I want to learn from them so much
I am full blood apache kickapoo native american much love I see the similarities in our langauge I come from the chiricahua mescalero nations
So you dismiss the navajo that aren't full blood? The ones who became mixed because they were taken from their homeland? How very petty of you. You must have had bad elders that taught you such an ignorant perspective or you are a bad native who did not listen. And everyone wonders why their people have not risen from their isolated existence.
Very beautiful song. To wake each morning. And to sing this song. To lift up your spirit. And be grateful for what you have. Would help you get through the whole day. Thank you for sharing your song. God bless all of you.
I'm Africa I feel the vibration. Spirituality is a universal language
Hi I'm Chris I'm from San Felipe Pueblo New Mexico and I love the song and yea that's true like me I get up every morning before I go to school and feed the sun with corn meal and pray like my grandparents say we pray for our family's and we talk to the spirit's when we throw the corn meal out side and feed the sun and spirit's. But thank you(: for shareing the video it was beautiful (:
BEAUTIFUL💜💙❤💚💜
so is it just a cornmeal, i thought was some kind of seed
Chri
Hey Albuquerque here.
Hey Chris I'm from Albuquerque
Fortuna Giustino ... not just corn meal. There are stories untold.
New Mexico is my home. Mt.Taylor has always been my 'sacred Mountain'. For many years I awoke with the sun glinting off the little san mateo lake on the westside of this sacred mountain. Now I awaken with the sound of chimes & birds here where the mountains meet the high desert. Thank you for singing this song for us. It is a good song for a "monday" morning for shure!! For every day it is a blessing indeed! AHO! Mitakuye O'yasin. (we are all relations, all people all animals all plants, Earth
Found out I have Navajo Hetitage 2 years ago, always wondered and felt a kindred spirit when I heard the language and music, It spoke to me. My great great grandmother was adopted and her heritage was hidden, makes me so sad. This is so beautiful. Thank you.
Awesome
I find so beautiful this kind of mix in America ❤🙏🏻
Native’s where are you👋🏻🤍
Some of us are there...but only in shame as we are not native.....with love in our hearts 💕

Blessed to be Navajo and love goes out to all our elders.
Early morning for all who benefit.
Happy Monday.
Peace & be well to all.
With respect.
I miss my grandparents so much they were the leaders of our family they both passed away earlier this year and they taught us so much of our navajo traditions, I feel lost without them. I'm afraid of losing the traditions and connections with extended family members. I'm Scared of not being able to share those experiences with my kids. These prayers mean so much. I know as a grand daughter I have some big shoes to fill I just hope I do them right and honor my grandparents. 🙏
Thank you for sharing this. I am part Navajo and have sadly grownup with no connection to the traditions and teachings. This is beautiful
I too am part Dinè and just started learning the language and teachings thank you to my lady she knows Dinè
Definitely Rocking that awesome voice. I felt that in my bones . Be blessed always❤
I am of another nationality, I have no idea what is being said, but it speaks to my soul and gives me peace. Thank you for sharing this beautiful part of your heritage. I appreciate at you and blessings for the new year.
I'm so proud to be who I am and I listen to this every morning and make sure all my family do to
Nicole Charley awesome
Beautiful - blessings & love everyone & many thx!
Blessings, what a beautiful vibration. Thank you for sharing
My father used to come come in early in the mornings hit me on the head with a pillow and say get up boy you're burning daylight .
it was 4:30 in the morning I would say Dad IT'S dark outside
boy now we got to really work HARD .for we have burned UP THE light... Then HE would laugh ...I wish HE was here to wake ME again THE SAME WAY .. But NOW HASHEM WAKES ME UP AROUND 2 A.M....JUST BECAUSE HE LOVES ME AND WANTS TO SPEND TIME WITH ME - LIKE MY EARTHLY FATHER DID....THANKS FOR LOVING ME.SO MUCH..
I feel so blessed to learn from so many kindred cultures for such a time as this. I am as comfortable at a Pow Wow as I am in a Baptist Church. It is all part of me. Thank you sharing!
I don’t understand a word; but maybe that’s the point. The feeling is everything. Wopila tanka.
I'm kickapoo,Taos, lower brute. I enjoy this song along with other nations blessings of music. Thank you for sharing.
I'm 51% native american and I'm so proud of this!!❤❤❤
yay yay Dine!!! hi to all my brothers and sisters on the rez down south, i am here in Canada right now, far from my people, but i am SO proud to be Navajo (and other part is from the Lower Nicola Tribe)!
keep on truckin!
I never meet my great grandmother but she was half Navajo and half Blackfoot she was a brave and strong lady this song and other Navajo and Blackfoot bring me closer to her. Anyone else feel this way?
