Love to you and yours.
These cultures belong to no one we are all connected and they are merely just honoring the culture and our ancestors.
It's a lullabye for a child. I'm Cheyenne river Lakota souix and my father is a fluent speaker and sundancer.
It’s beautiful. Thank you for sharing!
Merci pour l'information ! Cette chanson est lumineuse rien qu'à l'entente

@@stephanieyoung-kye3817 can you translate the rest of the song? Would love to know.
To all the people talking down on her for the way she spoke (sang) the language... This is precisely why racism will never be conquered. Instead of saying things like "she sang this like a white woman, leave "our" language alone"... Why not look at it in the perspective that "this woman of a VERY different culture took the time to LEARN this language just so she could sing& understand these beautiful songs? I think it's remarkable when people take the time to learn about and sample other cultures. My great Grandmother was 100% Cherokee, so I get some of the animosity being held when "the white devils" encroach upon "our" sacred ways. However, I Believe that language is much like love, it should be for everyone.
It's feeling it in the soul...that's beauty..and she did it..she awakened my Indian soul...as I have it in my blood...me and my ancestors thank her. Her voice has lifted us like the wings of an eagle.
My grandmother was Lakota Sioux , French, Chuckasaw and chippewa. She sang this song to me when I was a child, I sing this song to my children.
It gets past down generation. Every version is different in its own way. I believe if you keep it alive they're singing it is a beautiful thing. I love this version.
And my grandchildren love this version. This song helps calm my granddaughter when she's upset. I don't see anything wrong with it. As long as she's respectful . I know this is just my opinion and I'm going to get a lot of backlash But I don't understand why so many people are giving her a hard time for trying to keep a Cultural song alive. May you all have a blessed day.😊
No different than singing say auld lang syne, it’s beautiful and you feel connected even if you don’t understand the words you can understand the feelings it transmutes, I get resilient vibes from this 🫶 ☮️
Being Apache myself this makes me so happy to see our Nations of Nations sing so beautiful. Makes me smile.
My kiddo has autism. She was in full meltdown mode while traveling one day. I had the crazy idea to play this for her. It soothed her and helped her regain control of herself. Thank you for sharing this beautiful song.
That’s really something isn’t it! I feel these kind of songs were sung as a chant in honour of earthly elements.. so I guess it makes sense that it helped to get your child grounded. Xx
This makes me feel honored ❤️ thank you!
I'll show it to my sister and her husband for their daughter.
It was the Greath Spirit
Whenever our sound, whenever our words, whenever we are called >>> the messenger is not more important than the message, the light much more important than the lantern. Be glad this part of us is still here and feed it.
I am Cherokee Indian love this music it is very peaceful for me thank you..
Just say words correctly, no ego, with heart, and correctly explained. I respects. Im lakota sicungu lakota and oglala(santee dakota) and meskwaki[People of the Red Earth](algonquin linguistic) and i approve your Honorable respects in our culture!
Whoever is reading this, we don't know each other and probably never will, but I wish you all the best in life and the happiness in the world. Heartfel thanks to all who preserve and honor cultures .Cultures makes us rich.Love this version .Nice song.This was beautifuly played...

I am Rose Bud Soyuz. My parents called me Angel Princess. I am waking up and listening to my ancestor guide me back to my people. I am on a journey to find myself. Finally on the path I was meant to flow upon. To many footsteps had me exhausted and now I’m ready to listen. Thank you for keeping us alive. Thank you for my life. Thank you for what I am to be…🔆🤸🏽♀️🔆🤸🏽♀️🔆🤸🏽♀️🔆✨
**Sioux (I’m not perfect but a perfect human being struggling with technology but conquering discomfort)
My family is from Rosebud too. 😘
Rose bud tribe forever. Sitting Bull is king & Crazy horse is brave & wild. I'm proud of my ancestors so intelligent & never backed down & didn't sell their land bc it is sacred. culture lasts forever.
That’s so awesome lol I am as well at age 54 ! So we all can !! Keep on keeping on !!
LoV and light with many blessings yal please go with LoV !!!!
I love how you don’t have to be Lakota to be soothed by the lullaby. This song grounds me and puts me into a space to be able to concentrate on the moment at hand and not worry about the fear, stress, failures, short comings, etc. at hand. Music connects everyone even if you don’t speak the language or aren’t a part of the culture. Singing is primal, music itself is primal and since it doesn’t, it’s easier to connect with emotions through music.
As Henry Wadsworth Longfellow once wrote: "Music is a universal language".
“Cultural Appropriation” is the UNACKNOWLEDGED or INAPPROPRIATE adoption of the customs, practices, ideas, etc. of one people or society by members of another. In other words “stealing” something from another culture and taking credit for it rather than acknowledging its cultural origins, or using it in a way that is disrespectful or otherwise erases its significance in its original culture. However, it does not mean that we can never celebrate, participate in, or borrow from each other’s cultures. This artist clearly states in the title of this video that the song is a Lakota lullaby. Therefore the song’s cultural origin is acknowledged. She is performing it with respect and appreciation. Therefore it is appropriate. If you consider that “racist”, you may want to reflect on your own prejudices and intolerance.
If you consider taking something sacred and profiting off of it “beautiful” than you are sick in the head. This is sacred culture. CLOSED CULTURE YOU HAVE ZERO RIGHT TO IT
I agree. Trying to keep cultures completely separate only increases division and misunderstandings. Sharing our cultures and celebrating together is part of what makes life beautiful. Also, we don't know the context... she probably has ties to the Lakota, or she would never have learned the song.
@@wildflower1397 it should be separated if native people are saying so. Listen to native voice if you really care. It doesn’t cause division, what causes division is people not listening to other people when we tell you to stop. What causes division is being racist and then saying it’s not. Every native person in my life (which is a lot) have said they don’t want this. That this is icky and should be stopped. Idk why it’s hard for you people to understand that.
@@wildflower1397 and I’m sorry but she’s not even singing it correctly. Like natives don’t sound like that at all. It sounds like she’s trying to be something she’s not. She has a beautiful voice and aesthetic if she wasn’t stealing culture.
@@antoniamorahi Yes, it should be separate if it is sacred and/or ceremonial. I agree that we should listen to native voices... my aunt is half Laguna, so I really do get it. That said, a lullaby is a beautiful thing to share with all children of the world. The singer stated in the description that she is honoring her roots, so she likely has ties with the tribe. I believe it is best to listen respectfully, acknowledge the cultural meaning of the song, and not judge the performer until we have the full context. Also, I agree that her version does not sound quite right to me, but that is my preference and does not mean it isn't beautiful to others.
I may not be Lakota, but I come back and sing this when trying to ground and comfort myself when I’m anxious or lethargic.
Yes, sharing music from everywhere... it's innate impact can be felt in a finite way deep down into the center of our being.
My mom sang this song to me when I was little and now I carry it with me and I will sing it to my children
I'm not American Indian, but my son has Cherokee blood. His great great grandmother was full blooded. Even though I'm not Indian, I'm very proud that my son has the blood. I respect his heritage and appreciate it. 🙏
I’m part Cherokee from what I was told and even if I wasn’t , we’re all connected so it doesn’t matter blood or not. We should all do our part to honor the Earth Mother and the Sky Father and our ancestors . Once we all realize we are all connected true healing begins.
No.
Exactly 🥰
She did it with love, she did it with admiration, she did it with respect
I'm colombian and puerto rican. This is amazingly comforting to my soul and I know I am old soul...the eyes speak abundance. Peace and love to all and the land.
Music should no boundaries, music belongs to those who listen and feel with open hearts.
I hope no one takes personal issue with this beautiful rendition.
If we wait for our people to make our songs famous, we're gonna be waiting awhile... thats kind of what happens post genocide... theres not many left to carry on our culture.
I appreciate that our culture is getting a spotlight.
And in my personal opinion, you can play native music. So long as you do research and learn about the people and culture you're borrowing from, and don't just use their music for personal gain without learning about and paying respects to the tribe(s) you're borrowing from.
Aho
What a rare opportunity to listen to Lakota sing. Sharing this video with my Lakota daughter and grandchildren…reminders of their ancestors. Then, I also will send videos of Scottish pipers and Celtic singers to remind them of their other ancestors.
Appreciate those who came before and survived so that we live today.
As far as I know she isn't Lakhota though... it is a Lakhota song.
Unless you meant say "rare opportunity to listen to a Lakota song".
It's pretty. But it is also a strange pronunciation.. very European pronunciation so it sounded odd to my ears.
Sort of like, imagine someone speaking French with a slow Texas drawl. The vowels and consonants are coming from the wrong place kind of.
Pretty and pleasing to the ears anyway despite all that.
My father was 1/2 Choctaw. He was renamed John Anderson by the Catholic School who took him in Kansas from Oklahoma as a child. My name is Melody Anderson. I am just now finding out about my family because my father was ashamed of his native heritage. He was transcribed in to the Korean war.Things have changed, I wish he could have met his great grand children, and known how proud we are of his life. I still remember his father being buried in a piano box when I was a child. Everyone called him Choctaw John.😢
RIP Choctaw John. Thank you for your service to humanity and perseverance through all the days of your life. We hold you up to the highest good. You are not forgotten, may your soul live on forever through the actions of those who knew you and in the heats of your posterity. Glory Be to all that is, as it is.
It's a wonderful piece of music, respectfully interpreted. How can anyone claim , who is allowed to sing it and who isn't.
I think it's important to share culture and art. Com'on, it's a lullaby for children and not a sacred spiritual way to something, which you can only understand when you're part of a certain culture. We have always sung Molly Malone to our children as Lullaby and we're not Irish. We just liked the melody and so did our children.
It's appreciation not inappropriate!
This sort of thing should be taught in schools outside of the reservations so that we are more familiar with those who could be distant cousins by intermarriage between the native peoples and those of other colors or races. This would enrich everyone because of the native cultures that were here for many thousands of years before those from the old world arrived and would teach us about those cultures, traditions and music.
Yes, sow the seeds on inclusiveness.
This should be taught in our schools because the intolerance & prejudice that comes from a lack of comprehension of the beauty & joy in other cultures is what breeds the violence & negatives in our countries. I grew up in an era when we began learning about other cultures in the lower grades. There is so much love, beauty & joy to share in all of them.
Totally agree
The Indigenous schools have been around longer than people realise. The problem with teaching Indigenous culture in mainstream schools is that you just need to look online at the attacks on Indigenous people from government and corporate greed. Look at the Missing and Murdered Indigenous people who's files have yet to be looked at, their murders yet to be solved, or any non - Native being held accountable for the crimes. Look at how organized religion has been reluctant to allow Indigenous culture into the classrooms because they're not interested in learning the truth of the genocidal practices of colonizers toward Indigenous people. If you want to learn the "beautiful songs and ceremonies" you have to be honest about it. That entails teaching about the residential / boarding schools, the Indian Act of Canada, the starvation policies of the governments once Indigenous people were stuck on reservations, the "allowances" that still have not gone up with inflation, the enfranchisement act that tried turning Indigenous people on their Ancestral birth rights, and so much more. If you're not ready to have your children / grandchildren hear the racist and genocidal legacy of their ancestors, then be careful what you ask for. Just sharing a thought.
@@coryw31 thank you for your thoughts. I am a white person and I agree with you.
I think kids need to be taught real colonial history and indigenous history in order to learn respect for Indigenous peoples.
Pialli notoca xoxoctic xochitl. I feel she’s very respectful to our culture and is admiring it rather than receiving it as cultural appropriation. Beautiful.
For all us indigenous people💚
I'm not native but I find native music so beautiful. I have it on in my home alot and always play it when I need to feel peace.
This is so beautiful. I played this for my mom as she was dying in the ICU in Florida 8/20/21. I know it brought her peace.. thank you
What a beautiful thing you did for your Mom. We forget that death can be just as beautiful as birth. 🦋
Great Spirit bless
So so sorry for your loss. I hope you’ve found a way through the sorrow. May her soul rest in loving peace. Sending you all the love and light I can muster 💖
This made me cry 💖 sending you all my love sister 💖
So sorry for your loss, I'm sure she loved what you did for her ❤
I play this on loop for meditation. My great great grandmother would sing this lullaby before I was born. I played it once for my grandfather and he cried missing past family. Thank you for sharing this.
Chante waste means good heart.
The song is about a young boy resting his head and sleeping.
My grandfather, was a wise elder of my people, my mother is half native half Irish. My grandmother married my grandfather in Nebraska on the rez in 1917. Love knows no color, bravery to show that as white woman in 1917 makes me proud of of her. I can only imagine how hard it was for them. Because of their love my family is great and full of many cultures and colors. Thank you both for all you gave to us!! Love will always triumph over hate!! I'm proud of my Souix heritage, and all the rest that has come before me and after me. I hope to walk the winds with my grandfather one day, love you most your little renegade, as he called me.
Which tribe is your family from? I am Pine Ridge Reservation
" my little renegade"... Lovely.
I would suggest that instead of Love knowing no color, Love appreciates ALL colors/cultures.
BD how beautiful! 🙏🏽💕
My deceased husband loved this song. He was Lakota ❤️💜❤️
I heard a lot of beautiful music over the years but I have never heard anything like this. The melodic sound in your voice is from Heaven
I am a one blood native from another country and I respect all native culture. The sound is so soothing. Thank you 🙏
I am danish and this is so similar to old Norse music. So beautiful.
It sounds similar to Sami joik, too.
The singer is non Lakota bringing her culture's singing style to a traditional Lakota song. I recommend you listen to a Lakota singer singing this to remove the European influence and esp. celtic nuances to really compare where similarities exist.
@@mybuddyrobin can you recommend a particular Lakota singer? I'm not sure who to listen to without running into the same issue.
@@mybuddyrobin I will! Thank you for letting me know.
Y'all saying culture appropriation, y'all realize us natives don't have to be dark skinned with high cheek bones. This artist/singer could have native bloodline, but y'all judging her looks.
She says she isn’t in the description…
This is beautiful, thank you💜
Now for all the cultural gatekeeper comments; I’ve got a story for you. There was a girl adopted very young. Looks white but didn’t know her ancestry. Her fav thing to do was find 1st Nations music (being told often “but you’re white”). Recently she was tracked down by relatives from Canada, Blackfeet relatives. She was adopted at the tail end of the Sixties Scoop. Her family’s theory is all along, the music was calling her home. Moral of the story: listen to what speaks to your heart no matter your roots. You never know what it’ll bring you. Appreciating a culture’s beauty is not stealing it, especially if you’re consciously honoring it.
Besides 👆point, what a dull & confusing world music would be if we could only listen to artists/bands who match us genetically. 😂
Love this thank u so much for shareing..I feel a similar calling ..even raised my cree sisters son scince birth..he is cree blackfoot dene.. ..past partner was cree and many native friends scince a child ..I hum and sing on my own to rhythms and melodies I ve never heard befor ..comes up from deep in me ..I dont know my father ..I know I have some Saxon blood and know they also have many similar style of music so ??? Not sure what it all means
@@tleemf6923 This may or may not help, but have you thought of doing a DNA test?
I found my husband's bio family (both mother & father's sides) by using a couple of recommended ones from adoption groups and other resources. We now know his background and any health issues.
If you're interested, Ancestry is a great one if you want to track down lines that go far back into history. 23&Me will track down family on maternal and paternal lines, potential health issues and gives a terrific breakdown of ancestry by region, etc. FamilyTreeDNA, you can get testing kits that focus on paternal (Y-DNA) or maternal (mtDNA) if you need to get detailed, thorough info on one side.
I recommend FamilyTreeDNA if you don't have a ton of info on one side, and Ancestry if you want to get into genealogy/build a tree, and dive into your history/roots.
Hope any of this helps.

Nah sorry this sucks nice sob story but it's not up to you to decide it's up to the Lakota as it's there song. The world is made duller by these creepy hippy covers. Hippy culture has erased so many Indigenous cultures from the face of this earth because they steal so much and continue to do shit like this.
Beautiful. My husband is Plains Cree and his mother sings a beautiful lullaby to all the grandchildren when she puts them down for the night whenever she visits. It sounds a bit like this.
I can picture a huge chorus of Lakota women singing this and playing frame drums and other sacred instruments during nightfall at Standing Rock while the Water Protectors keep watch.
Quiz question: How many water protectors still drive cars and use gasoline?
All of them.
Stop attacking American energy you are hurting all of us
@@JenergyYogi, they don't want it on their land.
We come from all different walks of life but the one thing that unites us all is the beautiful gift of music🙏 much love from Ireland 🇨🇮🤗❤️🐾🐦🦋
First ever heard this song 5 years ago by Robert Tree Cody when my son was having trouble sleeping. It’s as if I magically found it, it was a blessing. It was the only song to help him fall asleep. I ended up learning it and still sing it to soothe him to sleep today. Thank you to the Lakota Tribe & their ancestors for creating & allowing us the privilege to access this beautiful calming lullaby 🤍
For what ever reason, this song brought tears to my eyes.
The song touches the soul. You feel a strange connection, as though the song belongs to my India culture. Respect and love for the mesmerizing native American music and culture. Hope it flourishes and inspires all of us to live in harmony with nature
I've never heard a traditional Native Tribe's song in full length like this before. Absolutely breathtaking.
Tears .. my grandmother used to sing this . Ty
I love this music because I'm cherokee indian
All our shared ancestors, tangled in the light from which they dance; we all thank you.
Herzlichen Dank für alle, die Kulturen bewahren und ehren.
I'm from Germany and I did'nt unterstand the words....
....think, my heart does ....
I like this song ☘
I remember my dad singing this to me over the phone it was the one thing I looked forward to when talking to him until he stopped calling
The chant under the star night sky, trees rising tall in fire’s light as mother’s lullaby kisses eyes to sleep. Beautiful
If we were all taught as younger children the ways of the Native Americans i believe the world would be in better shape than it is now.
Wise words 👍
Me encanta profundamente este tipo de canto! Amo os sons xamânicos e seus tambores, sua ancestralidade! Ficou maravilhoso!
This song is actually Native American. Lakota Tribe.
Pera,esses sons são xamânicos?
@@Baby-rh8ot sim:)

Blessings
My little girl sings this now because I play it so much 😂😂 she knows word for word
😊😊😊
Will the Lakota nation and any fans of this, join us for freedom, or peace, or truth. Whatever your cause, we need to join together.
I am Cherokee and Blackfoot mixed 100% beautiful song
Suffering from a broken heart and emotions raging within me....listened to this before and loved it....found it again tonight and it has calmed me and soothed me. I love this song.

Thank you svea
I may not be native American but i still feel connected to this song.
I’m not sure I understand the song but my soul just got a boost of positivity while I’m working and my mind just went to places out of this world
So beautiful. I have in the past 10 years learned that I had Oglala Sioux Lakota blood in my veins and I couldn't be prouder. This was remarkable.
I used to sing this lullaby when I was young and still catch myself humming it yet I have no recall who song it to me neither did my mom
I am a Hungarian but also a Siberian where Lakota came from 15 thousand years ago and even today I feel the spiritual connection…I love You my ancient people 🙏
Why are you spreading genocider false information .... esp. as a non Lakota? Ice Bridge as THE immigration to fill an empty continent was disproven years ago ffs!
Inuit came across the icebridge which then sent Dine' (Navajo) to SW Puebloan area in SW .... Lakota came from west & North which pushed Ute south and never encountered Dine.... go look at ancient maps and notice the inland sea between W. Cali & Rockies which makes sense as Lakota & Dine' never met, yet Ute FROM Alaska area, have ancient graves in SD. Lakota gifted Ute ceremony and they had good relations. Btw, the actual cultures already know their history... its squatter Europeans who are busy trying to write bs stories to legitimize #ESO land & resource theft on our behalf.
@@mybuddyrobin You don't know what the "genocider" means
@@erismana2105 lol 😂 i come from a nation of dual genocide MY family has been at the epicenter of for 26 generations...flopping back n forthe between participating with genociders perping DUALgenocide and the genocided. Typically proud genociders who speak like you. You squatter in Americas?
Just found this i started to play and my son has fallen asleep before it finished. I just want to go dance in the rain x
This is a very nice image: dancing in the rain. By the way, it is raining right now here in Germany. I hope you have😉 opportunities to dance in the rain many times in your life and in the life of your son too!
Beautiful music done by Beautiful women. Any thing a person or culture want to keep alive must be prepared to share it. Because it dies when the last person knowing it does.
Words cannot describe how beautiful this is.
I’m so glad you added her to this performance! Her authenticity (especially in her voice) REALLY makes it. Got chills when she chimed in
Music has no boundaries it for everyone
I’m just learning about the culture of my Lakota ancestors that were traced so far to my twice great grandfather by way of my paternal grandmother.
The last update was a map of land in his name in the Dakotas along with land in his sons names.
The migration south to Missouri where I was born and spent my childhood has yet to be unexplained and has captured my attention.
“What made him and his sons give up their lands and migrate south?”
Still have to research more but what I have learned about Lakota Nation seems to be where my core desire for peace and plenty comes from. 😌
My son has listen to this since birth every time he’s going to sleep our car rides to put him to sleep! Wish I could buy on iTunes! Thank you for being apart of our daily routine :)
My grandmother would sing to me in lokta when i was very young
Instant tears. Love to all the protectors of those without a voice.
if music doesnt make you feel something on the inside, then its just noise!! thank you for this beautiful music!!
I love this version. My sister who is Lakȟota taught me this song.
I hope to hear this three thousand more times before my journey's end.
My grandniece is part Lakota and hearing this song brought tears to my eyes knowing that she will not know her heritage as her family is broken. This was beautifully played.
She may find her way on her own and be brought right where shes supposed to be. Lots of love
I am from new Zealand and I am very happy to hear such amazing music from the most beautiful people thank you for sharing your culture with the world I love you all so much and thank you
Me too my friend I'm in Riverton Southland xo
I’m an enrolled eastern Shoshone of the wind river reservation so blessed from Wyoming 🥰😊😇🙏
I would love to see a translation of the lyircs this song it is beatifully played and sung.
Me too!
Good-hearted boy, go back to sleep. The night is good.
You should work with Enya, Celtic Woman, Laboratorium Piersni. Your collaborations would be majestic and epic.
These traditional beats and rhythms have always put me in a kind of trance when I listen to them.
Me as well. I’ve always been drawn to Native American cultures. The drums, the prayers, the custom dress. I’ve always held a great respect & fascination for them.
I mean this isn't really traditional, this has been around awhile but the words seem like English phrases to Lakota. For instance the phrase 'good hearted' 'čanté wašté' isn't really a phrase in Lakota. It's too literal rather than the essence of what 'good heart' means in English (ie kind person) in Lakota čanté is literally the heart muscle.
My mom and I are distantly relayed to the Lakota Sioux. We're trying to learn this lullaby to sing to future children.
I have no idea what they are saying but I love this, it has celtic irish vibes too I'm so in love with this song
I found this song in 2018, searching for Native lullibies to play for my baby boy. He is almost 4 now, and still listens to it!! It brings tears to my eyes everytime I play it amd or sing it. Ooooffff! Just found your rendition Alexia this year and oh my heavens, just beautiful and also brought the tears.
its wonderful to hear how her voice has developed since the last time she performed at TedEd its like a look through time to listen to them both, to see how she has grown and you can hear the power in this song amplified by this, such beautiful tribute to Lakota Nation
Man so much was lost thru ignorance. beautifully sung your ancestors would be proud
Culture Created never dies no matter how hard anyone tries to destroy it.
🙏👍🏴
Absolutely one of the most Beautiful things ,ever did I hear.
Love and Light from the Heart of Texas.
One of the most beautiful pieces of music my soul has ever heard... thank you Alexia.
I'm sick w/covid rn and this is bringing some peace of mind and calming my spirit so thank you 💖
get well soon
I love Lakota lullaby, and the way you both sing this song 🦅
Something about this music and performance is so enjoyable and stays with you.
Thank you so much for singing this wonderful lullaby. It touches my heart and my soul. I heard it many times and everytime its so wonderful for me. Thank you for this special way of singing. God bless all the natve nations and may be with you.
I feel I've had a past life as a Indian singing these beautiful songs even though I don't understand the words but deeply they are a part of me. Thus beautiful music speaks to me profoundly!! Thank you for sharing
😂
I'm Lakota but I don't speak fluent Lakota I only know the basics, colors, animals, numbers and how to say body parts and that's it.. the women singing mention the word Chante' alot which means heart. And Hoksila' means boy
Same ❤️
