In honor of the falsely incarcerated Native activist Leonard Peltier (Turtle Mountain Chippewa #Ojibwe) on this #NationalDayOfMourning. Even the #FBI thought he was innocent.

Moontee Sinquah (#Hopi) sings the chants, and during the band's live performances performs a Fancy Dance (he's a two time World Champion Hoop Dancer).

#KeithSecola (Anishinabe/Ojibwe) Wailing Blues (#NativeRock). What makes the song even more meaningful is the lyrics, a Native son's farewell and anguish at the passing of his father, so beautiful. Female vocalist with high octaves is Melanie (Black Cherokee/Black Indian). #Indigenous

Zogipoon - written and sung in #Ojibwe by Keith Secola.

Zogipoon or Zoogipon in Ojibwe means "It Snows".

If I remember correctly, Keith wrote Zogipoon at the University of Minnesota for his degree in American Indian Studies. I've read the lyrics translation and it's a beautiful poem. #Indigenous

Hey ya hey ya hey ya (chant)

In my hour of dying
the walls are closing in
I hear the angels crying
the end is about to begin ...

I'm flying all around
Shroud cover my face
Son singing chants
Take me to this place
Spirit hold my hand
Maintain my faith
In my darkest hour
I become a man ...

One of my favorite #KeithSecola (Anishinabe/Ojibwe) songs, Wailing Blues (#NativeRock). What makes the song even more meaningful is the lyrics, a Native son's farewell and anguish at the passing of his father, so beautiful. The female vocalist with the high octaves is Melanie (Black Cherokee/Black Indian). #Indigenous

#Indigenous #KeithSecola

I've been driving in my Indian Car,
To the pound of the wheels drumming in my brain,
My dash is dusty, my plates are expired,
Please Mr. Officer, let me explain,
I've got to make it to a Pow-Wow tonight,
I'll be singing 49, down by the river side,
Looking for a sugar, riding in my Indian Car,
Got my T-Bird in the glove-box,
I ain't got no spare ...
