Celebrating Indigenous Peoples’ Day

Posted on October 9, 2017 by SouthernGirl2

Shout out to our Native American brothers and sisters.. Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day

Come celebrate with us as we pay tribute to the “FIRST NATIONS” people & their beautiful rich culture. Please feel free to share music, lyrics, videos, dance or chants. Through chants, drums, percussion, and dance, the music tells of their history of courtships, healings, meditation and spiritual rituals.

The Ancestors….

Sitting Bull was a medicine man, or holy man, of the Hunkpapa Lakota (Sioux), who were being driven from their land in the Black Hills. He took up arms against the white man, refusing to be transported to the Indian Territory. Under his leadership as a war chief, the Lakota tribes united in their struggle for survival on the northern plains.
Red Cloud (Lakota: Maȟpíya Lúta), (1822 – December 10, 1909) was a war leader and a chief of the Oglala Lakota (Sioux). He led as a chief from 1868 to 1909. One of the most capable Native American opponents the United States Army faced, he led a successful campaign in 1866–1868 known as Red Cloud’s War over control of the Powder River Country in northeastern Wyoming and southern Montana.

    Great post. SG2. I’d say Christopher Columbus got his butt kicked real good, and rightfully so.
