ANCIENT MOTHER ~ Robert Gass - YouTube

Ancient Mother, I hear you calling.

Ancient Mother, I hear your song.

Lakota Lullaby -- Joanna Malanos - YouTube

From Joanna Malanos:

The translation of this chant is a simple one: Good-hearted boy, go back to sleep. The night is good. This is the "chante waste hokshila, nake istima... hanhepi kin waste." The rest is melodic chanting to accompany the meaning of the song. To soothe the little boy back to sleep. 

When I was putting together this video, I wanted the beginning of it to honor the Lakota people with the images of Native Americans and their babies. In the next part, I wanted to make the point that we are all One Tribe, so I added photos of all people. We, as mothers, all lullaby our babies in the same way, with the same love and intent. I am a believer in the Rainbow Tribe -- One people with the same Creator -- Great Spirit. It moves me to find connection with all people through love.
