    May these songs never be forgotten. May the old teach the young about the ways of their ancestors. May all Native Tribes become big again and claim back the land of the buffalo, wolf, bear, eagle, turkey, hare. May their rivers be clear, drinkable and full of fish. May the plains be filled again with buffalo, the woods with deer, wof and bear. May nature finds its ballance again. Than the old ways can be again.
    Love from the Netherlands 🌷♥️🌷

      @@hectorabcdefg9076 there are plenty of natives still unmixed and speaking native languages in Mexico, and many of them yeah, do have Spanish surnames, because native societies before did not have surnames. But some native names were made into surnames, because of that some natives and also mestizos in Mexico have Nahuatl or Mayan or other native surnames. Like family name Xochitiotzin is famous in Tlaxcala state, and there are other examples as well

    I'm a white Canadian woodsman, and I have no idea why this music speaks so deeply into me. Trained in geology and forestry, having spent many years just walking through the bush, this is the music of forests and plains, marshes and lakes and clear running streams. For a long time all I saw was natural resources, but then God opened my eyes and I saw creation and how we had messed it all up. These native guys get that. It's so much more than just 2 by 4's waiting to happen, or ore bodies and tailing ponds. Listen to their voices. They are coming from a place the rest of us have lost. I just wish like hell I could get back there.

      @@DaveMoongazer My comment above only explains a small part of our collective experience as native peoples of the Americas. When you hear songs like this, you are listening to the deep connection we have with the land physically and spiritually. You hear in our voices the pathos and are able to feel the collective suffering we have endured through out the centuries. In our songs you find the voices of the millions whose blood soaked the ground. Finally in that same sound you also can hear our pride, our hope, our culture and our gift to humanity. Celebrate with us, support our native cultures, cultivate our languages, cultivate our collective love for the land.
