Don't know who the singer is, but I wish I knew. I hear it just about every morning.

While in lockup in federal prison we had sweat lodge ceremony we sang this song every ceremony it was such a blessing to come into the sweat lodge it helped me to get where I am at today although I am not perfect I am milestone past where I thought I'd never be. I am a survivor of severe alcoholism. Alcohol free for over 3 1/2 years and many more moons to go. 🤍🤎🤍

I grew up in Denver next to the "Indian Center". We grew up with nothing. It was me and four other brothers and sisters and my poor mom. She did childcare to pay the bills. Most of her clients were native American. The Lakota people welcomed me into their families and taught me so much. I feel indebted to their love. Lakota means friend and they all lived up to their name. Most of my friends that I grew up with are dead now thanks to drugs and alcohol. Today I still sing these songs with all my heart in remembrance of those friends. I have ZERO native american in me, but we are ALL related (Mitákuye Oyásʼiŋ). My proudest moment was when my mother got called down to the circle at the pow wow. There was my very white mother with these figures I had so much respect for standing as an equal. We can all do more to help, the Lakota need our help.

Thank you for posting this. It touches me deeply. Both the song and the comments. Coming home to your life in the very center of the Four Directions with all the winds. I'm coming back to this song and reconnecting with community of many kinds. Learning to love. I know what if feels like to need to get drunk. To feel depressed, unworthy. These things were my wakeup call when they got strong enough for me to not be able to escape any more. They also were my doorway to emerge as a different person. As I journey along my path I come from needing help to recognizing other people needing help and I pray to realize I have something to offer. It could be a simple heartfelt smile. I wish you all the blessings be who you are. We all need help. We all need to love and care for each other. You are needed. I choose now to do my best, stand strong for love. Sending you all a smile.

Thank you. I've been told I'm Hayoka and I'm trying to learn what that means. I've always been Empath but new to Hayoka. You have helped me by letting me HEAR your blessing. Thank you again.

I am from Rosebud and I recognize quite a lot of the women in the background and the drum group of course, but I wanted to tell the beautiful and amazingly talented back up singer is that those ladies in the background were doing their best to appear stoic and respectful as she sang ..they were actually hating on her!! It was pretty funny but it's the truth. Crazy that i knew them women...all of them.. and knew exactly what they were thinking as she sang her heart out. Applause!! It's the best I've seen in years!

Niiice. I love my peoples music. I listen to various genres, but everytime I feel down/sad, hearing these inspires me to get up and keep moving.
