NativeWire it is beautiful, generous and I am using it with prayer for a lovely Cherokee man passing away from cancer. Thank you, Wado!

I guess you can't make everyone happy. I'm Cherokee not Lakota, if you noticed there are no links to purchase my music! I'm the lead singer for a southern singing group but I felt this song wasn't about me so on the day I filmed this I didn't want to show my face. I've been singing and dancing since the early 1970's just for the enjoyment but I have won a few contests, I've never been called a culture vulture.

My full blooded Cherokee GMA passed away today looked this up to Remember her heritage

thank you my brother, may we all walk in peace.. we are all connected..

Awestruck by the Beauty and Power of this Memorial Song. Rest in Peace, Walking Man and His Dog. Both of you Walk with the Creator of All Things and find the Contentment and Happiness that eluded you in this Realm.

Thank you for the beautifully, well done song to your grandmother! My great great grandmother, Sarah was full-blooded Cherokee. She lived to be 94 years young, I say young because she had a strong sense of vitality and a youthful spirit! She was blind in her later years but still loved having company, and could still whip you up a four course meal every time you went to visit her! She lived several hours drive away from us, but we visited her often! I can still smell her large backyard apple orchard, coming down her long driveway, lined with big beautiful oak trees.. I look back all those years ago and I smile, in my eyes, she was as strong as an oak, and beautiful inside and out, I miss her, and cant help but think of what an amazing reunion it will be when we all get to heaven singing joyfully! GOD BLESS! ❤

Wado Brother...needed this for a Brother who died yesterday..... Chief Grey Wolf

Beautiful..Uwoduhi. Everytime I go over into Western North Carolina everything about it is magical. The feeling. The mountains ..Those rivers. The waterfalls. I found part of my family there. That land is Tsalagi

Thank you for giving me this gift of music that gives me peace over my mother's death.😢💜

Yay, even accurate hand drum! Good to see people keeping tradition :)

Hear the spirit calling to our people

What a beautiful song for your Grand Mother. A beautiful song for all of us. I found a dying bird this morning. I held it, and kept it warm, but it's time on earth was through. As I returned it's lifeless body to mother earth, I played your song. I wish you Peace

Very proud to say I have helped them come into this world and have had to sit and stay with them until they pass. We call our house the isle of misfit toys. I had a hybrid wolf for 17yrs nobody wanted my BEST FRIEND will never forget him, RIP Moe.

"WADO"---THANK YOU, so beautiful!!! To listen to this--PART OF MY HERITAGE!!!!

I cry. Thank you so much for your giving. Very generous of you. Peace to you and yours.

Thank you for sharing, I will be honoring my Father's memory at his burial tomorrow morning with this.

Played this for my son at his grave. Thank you.

So beautiful. I live in the foothills of the Smokies, and have very little Cherokee blood, but it has always called to me. Than you so very much for sharing, even if for a short time.You have been given true gifts in your music. I look forward to more. Wishing blessings to all!

I am from the Long Hair Cherokee clan but grew up mostly on my father side of family in the Navajo nation. My mother from Oklahoma Cherokee nation. But never grew up around then that much.

I drum since I lost my father, thank you for this song. His ashes lie in those mountains.

What a beautiful testimony to your grandmother. I will always be proud of my Cherokee heritage. I was told I am almost 1/2 Cherokee. I was adopted at 3 weeks old so I have no idea how to trace my roots. By listening to this I feel every bit of it. Blessings to you!

Cherokee Memorial Song Heart 🦁✒️✔️👣🌌🔯🧬💭🤍💯.

Your music has reached across the world ..im not native American but I've always been drawn to the culture and simplicity of your way of life..Greetings from the UK

Thank you for sharing this with us, it is a beautiful memorial song.

I am proud to have 1/4 Cherokee and 1/4 Seminole in me from my father and rip father till we met again in heaven and you will always be in my heart

Very beautiful memorial song. Your Grandmother would have cried tears of joy and smiled with great pride! Her Grandson is such a loving soul. She knows you will never forget her. Her memory will comfort you now when you least expect it!

Thank you, sir. This is a wonderful way to remember the ones we have lost. With your permission, I would like to share this with my best friend, my sister of the heart. She is grieving her lost baby. It has been 5 years, and I think this song could help her heal. Thank you again for sharing such beautiful music.

Taino heritage here, hey cousin. Been going through a rough time, a lot of loss, bringing up old grief-- listening to this song on repeat to try to ease the ache. Thank you so much for sharing it with us all. 💛

this song makes me forget of everyday crap. Great job bro

Wado di-na-nv-tli. Very meaningful and much needed. My brother passed on 7 days ago suddenly at 47. We are Cherokee. I did the cleansing and played this down at the water. Kim Dancing Turtle.

I have Cherokee blood and I have loved the culture and just wish I met my 4 great grandmother to know more. This is beautiful to listen to.

For you David...beautiful and heartfelt...we will miss you mijo of my heart.

I have lost Friends, Pets, Family. In my ancestors I have lost in a fight for Peace. the Spirits will always be with us. play this music near your campfire and watch as they dance and shine down happiness of the music

My mother was cherokee and I found out today she has passed at 62 years old. RIP Mom. Ill live and miss you everyday for the rest of my life.

This woman who had welcomed me into her family Mary B., is on her deathbed today. I have dedicated this song to her today. She has been a great teacher and Mother to me for over 20 years. I am going to miss her! She has been my inspiration and I loved her like a real mom.

Cherokee hold a special place in my heart given my grandmother was full Cherokee. She once told me that nature was here before us so we must honor the laws of nature and we are of man which has its own separate law. I’m very spiritual and am aware my ancestors were deeply in tune with their spirit amongst nature and the creator

Beautiful... thank you so so much for sharing this with the world... seriously brother... thank you so so much!

For my father who passed away when I was 13 one year ago !

I am Cherokee Nation (west) and I have never been to the Smokey mountains. But somewhere in that area there is a mountain named after my Cherokee grandfather. Your song by the river transported me there and helped me feel connected to his ancestors. Wado. My grandfather was made an honorary Lakota Chief after WWll and given an eagle feather war bonnet; so I have old photos of my Cherokee grandfather in a Lakota headdress. Some traditionalists say this is not 'correct' but for him it was, as he bridged many worlds. I believe we are all now rainbow bridges of many cultures coming together and sharing our gifts with each other. Creating a new/old way which will carry us forward. Spirit is never stagnant; always changing and reforming the cosmos of which we are part.

Praise Yahweh Ben Yahweh ~Yahawah for the spirit of the pass and the vision of the future and the content for the now.

Thank you so much for giving me my heritage to me, for my Great Grandmother Was Full Blooded Cherokee, and she married my great grandfather and had 3 children, I am little over 1/16th with a little bit of Sioux from my fathers side. I am honored to be close to the Great Spirit, and a child of nature. The beauty in the Mother Earth is within every Native American, as is the creators wisdom. As the prints left behind were no prints, but lore, legend, and passing on through the rites of passage.

I love the Cherokee nation,history and all.as far as I know I have no native American blood in me but my God native American music since a child has moved me.it's all so so beautiful.

I closed my eyes and listen the beat of that song remembered all my ancestors.

I feel my ancestor's reaching out to me when I hear this.

Thank you for this. I will be listening to this frequently over the coming days. I lost my best friend if 51 years yesterday. Her husband is Choctaw and she had embraced his culture and beliefs. Thus is /will comfort me.

My mother had a deep love and passion for her Native roots. We just lost her on the 17th. This would made my heart feel good and cry for her

You've brought tears to my eyes. I wanted to hear this because of my Grandmother.

R.I.P to my dear mother, long before she past away she told me I had Cherokee blood which I am very proud of. Lots of ♥♥♥♥ to all Cherokee's from Australia.

Last time I heard a song like this, it was to say goodbye to my Grandmother. Thanks for sharing.

Powerful song.. brings me to tears every time I here it..

Beautiful. My daughter is a Native American from the Piscataway Tribe. Many blessings to you.

This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. Thank you.

My great great grandmother was Cherokee I'm loving these tribal vibes

Beautiful and Spiritual. May the Great Spirit keep guiding you through your Dreams and Journey's Pathway. Keep singing and beating the drum, for the Soul needs to hear the story of Truth, Peace and Love for all Nations in this time of History to bring Cultures together 😇🙏❤

I am very happy to hear you make this song, though it was born from a passed loved one, The happiness I get, is because my Great GrandMother was Mary Greyfeather. She did not take the trail of tears, but stayed in the back country of North Carolina in the 1800's. One reason for my happiness in hearing this, is because I find myself singing in a language I never learned when Im on a journey traveling. How I sing from my spirit reminds me of some of this song. Thank You

Thank you. I've been looking and searching all night for a way to express the way I felt when my sister deer was taken tonight. I'm not in my homeland and she deserved the proper respect. Just. Thank you.

I lost my uncle acouple days ago he taught so much we you used to travel the pow wow circuit when I wasn't in school I couldn't help but ball my eyes out like a little bit when I listened to this he was like a father to me thank you for making this

Always find myself coming back to this video. Truly a beautiful song.

wado. always happy to find treasures like this here. our culture and spirit live on.

You guys shouldnt disrespect him its easy talk bad on the screen I would be happy to meet him and shake his hand I will say this to you who talk bad about others you dont know. Come on have respect Its not all about you. Thanks for the song I will have your back godbless

I love this song, it was played when my father passed and we’re both Cherokee

Little did I know when I looked at this video one day ago, that my dear friend and brother, Scott Shawan would be making the journey home on the same day. Even though he was of Scottish descent, and not Native American, he was still my brother by decree of the Great Spirit. I shared and dedicated this memorial to my friend. I miss him greatly but know that he is no longer in pain, and has completed his journey to another stage of life...Thank you for posting this memorial, Nativewire...

For my father, may his spirit soar, i miss you dad

Beautiful. Blessings, brother. I too, would wish to be remembered in such a way.

all my respect to you and sympathy to you in the loss of your grandmother, I am part cherokee and that is why i have a deep respect for the cherokee people

I’m Cherokee and Lakota. Thank you for the video of you singing the memorial song. I love sitting by maybe that same stream every time I get back to the Smokies!

My brother, I'm in sorrow of your grandmother. this song will bring peace for her

Thank you for the beautiful memorial song.My only grandson was murdered October 22 2012.He was only 20 years old.This song is perfect for honoring him.He was Native America Indian.His name was Bobby Ray Griffin 3rd.

i am part east tennessee cherokee. thank you for posting this. my grandpa was cherokee on my moms side. i am trying to find my roots. everyone always tells me when they see me, you've got to be native american, so i decided to explore it.

I'm sorry for you loss. I really miss my mom and dad too!It's really special that his ashes are spread there! What an honor!

My mother just passed away and the grief is more than i can bare.. Thankyou for sharing this.

I am (CHEROKEE) My Mother (CHEROKEE) joined the Great Spirit on 8-31-12 She was cremated TODAY 8-5-12! I burned sage (that I grew) for Her today at the time I felt Her body become smoke and join the skies and earth. I felt the great spirit guide Me to type in here on KZread CHEROKEE death song and yours came up, I played it 4 times over as the sage and My Mother turned to smoke and joined together as one for the Great Spirit! "WORDS CANNOT EXPLAIN HOW MUCH YOUR BEAUTIFUL SONG MEANT TO ME!"

I mourn with this song for what it means for me as a person as well. I never knew this side of my family, it was taken from me at way too early of an age. My mother always refused to teach what she learned out of shame. I'm slowly learning things now but there is no one I can speak to.

I'm playing this, praying for Running Bear, Eastern Cherokee who is passing to be with his wife,children and ancestors in North Carolina. Wado!

Gratitude for keeping the teaching and letting us share with our relations in circle

I am of CHEROKEE heritage. But very far back. We know nothing of our tribe or where our family was located. I wish I knew some of our language. But I still sit and listen to this song and others and it gives me peace. I do believe myself and teen son are only ones in our family who do! Thank you very much for publishing this!

A beautiful song.

Sending You Respect, Gratitude, & Protection for You & Yours.. & all my Relatives.. A'Ho 🕊 🤲🏼

Thank you brother.we honored my father Tall Wolf last week when he went to our forefathers world.he passed good into the spirit world.thank you for the song

thank you so very much for the beautiful song, it's so peaceful and relaxing, something I need very much in my life , I am Cherokee , I hope in the future you make more songs and put them here on KZread

Maestro if you can hear this up there. My mentor teacher friend of many years passed as the days go on I am finding out more about him. how he was deeply involved in Native American culture and loved to sing I now lesson in your honer.

Thank you for sharing. It is precious.

Thank for this song. My great grandmother was Cherokee, another Comanche. I am grateful for this song. I have lost my niece, father , pet and 2 siblings in the past ten years. To hear this song has brought a balm to my soul.

Thank you. My family is trapped in a place that is a very difficult burden for us.

IN HONOR OF MY PRCIOUS MOTHER ANGELHEART WHO PASSED AWAY FROM CANCER ON JAN. 28 2009,SHE WAS CHEROKEE.MAY YOUR SPIRIT LIVE ON.
