I’ve had this song for a couple of years. I wanted to share this because it’s beautiful I hope you like it.

For what it’s worth, just to be clear, the images in this video are from my Seneca tribe. The song is one of the oldest recordings of Seneca children that I know of.

Even though YT has again shredded my video into blurriness,these old photos deserved to be seen outside the Library of Congress,I
feel.
This month I saw a YT partner perpetuating stereotypes of North American Indigenous Peoples.I hope this can help at least one person shed a wrong notion.

The language spoken in the video is Lushootseed,provided as an example so that people can understand how the White settlers got Chief Si?al/Seattle’s name,and many other Native words wrong.
Another audio example can be found at:

Lushootseed is the Native American Language indigenous to the Seattle area. It belongs to the Salishan language family, whose domain extends from the Pacific coast eastward to western Montana and from British Columbia southward to Oregon.

On 13 September 2007, the UN passed its Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

While the term “indigenous” is not defined, its 46 articles affirm the right to self-determination including the pursuits of economic, social and cultural development (Article 3). Other rights include:

* Maintaining distinct political, legal, economic, social and cultural institutions while participating in those of the state (Article 5),
* Not being forcibly assimilated (Article 8,
* Revitalizing and developing their language and educate in their language (Articles 13-14),
* Redress for past injustices (Article 28),
* Access across international borders (Article 36), and
* Financial and technical assistance from the state to achieve these rights (Article 39)

With Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States voting against, and 11 countries abstaining, the Declaration passed with 144 countries in favor.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~`WASHINGTON,D.C, Sept. 20, 2004 ~~~~~~~~~~~~Washington State’s Lummi Indian Nation presented two totem poles carved out of red cedar trees older than the United States to the Pentagon Sept. 19 as a gesture of unity and support to the families of the 184 people who died there in the Sept. 11, 2001 attack.

The Liberty and Freedom totem poles with the Sovereignty crossbar placed across them are the “sacredness of love joining us together,” said Jewell “Praying Wolf” James, councilman and master carver of the Lummi Nation. The Lummi presented the poles to the Pentagon in a Sept. 19 ceremony to commemorate the Sept. 11, 2001 attack. Photo by Rudi Williams

“The totem poles are a symbol of something that all of us have within us,” said Jewell “Praying Wolf” James, a councilman and master carver of the Lummi Nation. “We have the power to heal, the power to love each other, the power to unite — that’s what the symbol is about.

“The totem pole isn’t a sacred thing, it’s the sacredness of love joining us together,” said James, who wore a coned straw hat over long, black, braided hair and a black vest with a shadowy gray wolf’s head on the back.
Praying Wolf James, who introduced all of the totem pole carvers, said, “I’m proud of the Lummi Nation for believing that the four colors on these poles red, white, black and yellow reflect the four races of America. I think America is beautiful because we’re composed of all four races and we believe in liberty and freedom — the freedom to chose our own leadership and remove them, (and) the liberty to practice our own native beliefs or our own form of organized religion.”

He noted that more than 80 people helped carve, paint and clean up, and about four dozen Indian nations across the country helped take the poles to the three sites and added their prayers.
None of the photos here were taken from the University of Washington collection,though they have an excellent online library.

#3 Ojibwa Storyteller explains importance of Native American eagle feathers to Manoomin Project teens in Marquette, MI

During the summer of 2007, an Ojibwa elder spoke to Manoomin Project teens about the use of Eagle Feathers by Native Americans including why tribal members can legally possess the sacred feathers.
The teens were also told about powwows and the use of ceremonial tobacco as a sign of respect for nature and to Native American culture.
Over 100 Manoomin Project teens have planted more than one ton of wild rice seeds over the past four years, however the endeavor also stresses education about American Indian vulture and heritage.
Keweenaw Bay Indian Community elder Glen Bressette spoke with the teens in July 2007 at Presque Isle Park along Lake Superior in Marquette, MI.
