For twenty years I've sang this song in my head not knowing the name of this song. Glad I discovered this on KZread.

I'm a full blooded Navajo and this song hits me so hard because it reminds me of my people and the legacy of my people that i have to carry. I will not let my people down. That's my mission, forever.

I am not Navajo, but I grew up all my life in Tuba City, AZ, since I was 6 months, until high school graduation and a little beyond. My parents have taught there for over 45 years. I heard this song multiple times, and it hits home, too. I remember it clearly. You will make your people proud. You are from a powerful people. Always remember who you are. I can tell in your passion in your message. Always remember how beautiful it is to be a Dine.

I'm navajo, and i fell in love when i heard this song the first time, whenever i listen to it...i always think about what i'm gonna say to my 2 year old nephew when he grows up n i have to sing this at graduation! and i'm 11 i'm movin on to 6th grade YAY!!!

We used to do this in elementary, our teacher was white, but he also was half native, got an education and came home to teach us. He would tell me stories and hand language. He will be missed, many teachers have passed away that were always there teaching. Making sure we understood every word. I miss them aho......

Oh my goodness!!!!! Elementary school days!!!! Mr. Eberly my music teacher had us sing this ALOT! I always loved it!

Looks like everyone has had this in their early years of education...I did too...such a beautiful song as I remember it. Thx to great music from BYU for posting it. 5/5

I used to listen to this back in my Boarding School days at Tuba City. I remember my sister singing this coming home from the dorms. most of the girls were singing it all the time. it was like a theme for boarding school. It brings back lots of memories of my youth. awww. * sniff*

We sing this at school it is my favorite song

Born in New Mexico, I've Native American blood in my veins. In sixth grade, I heard this song in music class and I had no idea what it meant until now. Climb the ladder means: Succeed well in life, your family and friends will be proud of you. It took me years to figure that out. So climb the ladder, earn your feather, and make your people proud of you.

I love this song. It brings back so many memories. I remember singing it about 14 or 15 years ago in elementary school.

I sang this song in my fifth grade graduation and I still remember it today. Beautiful.

When I graduated from elementary school we sang this song.

Seasons came to my grade school back in 97! Just found the song today!

My 5th grade teacher taught us this song. At the time, it was just a song about a father and son, but now, after 12 years and growing up, it makes me tear up. It's a father telling his son that he can be the one who brings the change and makes the world better for himself and his people. Like a duty, a handing of the torch, from elder to young. I still think about it every now and then, powerful message. Thank you Ms. Torres.

when i hear this it makes me cry because i don't think i've done anything to be proud of despite my attempts to do so.

Go find someone and complement them on something about themselves. Find an older person who needs help and help them. Donate to charity, there's plenty of things to do that you can be proud of.

I sang this song to my sons when they were growing up. Support your kids, pay attention, listen. Blessings for all. ❤️ Love you B-Boys. So proud to be your mom. Keep climbing my sons. 🌽

Over 10 years ago the 'Living Legends' cast and crew came to New Zealand and performed this amazing collection of indigenous dances to our people and I was soooooo overwhelmed with the 'First Nations' section of it all - this song I remembered since that first night! I've never heard it since, but I've remembered it! Thanks soooo much for posting this. God bless!

Man.. as a Tongan, this speaks to me. We used to sing it in Elementary school but now as a grown man, having a better knowledge of my ancestors and where they come from, this brings a great sense of honor, pride and responsibility upon me and I gladly carry it. My ancestors will be proud of me. God bless and thanks for sharing!!!

I remember singing & signing that beautiful song when I was very young with my family & other stake church members, all of us dressed up as American Indians & other culture costumes, at a temple pageant at the Hamilton New Zealand Temple ..... beautiful education song!

Me laying in bed thinking about my elementary music teacher and singing this song! Nothing can take away the influence of a good teacher . Pregnant for the first time at 42 and this will definitely be on my baby play list!!

This is the best song ever

❤this is a wonderful song I love this ❤song

This is my Aunt and Uncle they wrote this song.

My sport teacher in primary school taught us this song and we all sung it with him at our graduation. I really hope he lives a long and wonderful life for making everyone he meets great full they met.

For some reason I have never forgotten this song that I learned in elementary over 30 years ago! I love the calmness that this beat and rhythm creates! I just have never forgotten the feeling it gave me! Still a great song that even nowadays can still have the calming affects it did all those years ago!

I was there, in person it is amazing, I'm still singing the song, I cant get enough of it!

I remember seeing this show in Nauvoo when I was 16. The whole show was spectacular, but this song in particular stood out.

Wow. I haven’t heard this song in over 25 years. We use to sing this in elementary school.

I love living legends!

Those song are very true. I tell my kids growing up education very important it n our life we grow with us has get older and become elderly. Tell Young kids and grandkids get your education go my children children. I tell them NO ONE can't take away your education.. tht your for ever!! So my children get your education and teach your kids too. Get involved of their education all they to college or tech school. Tht my teaching from generation

This song had me in a chokehold in 4th & 5th grade! Though I remember a man singing that version, this is still awesome!

Ive known dis song for so long!!

Thank You Mrs. Weaver!! ( music teacher) You are forgotten Not!!

I saw this live in Eastern Arizona college was a great experience

I ran onto this video just by chance and I was absolutely speechless. I think it is incredible! Wish I new where to get it on DVD.

My Cousin Carnes Burson wrote this song. I heard it when I was little. It a pretty song.

I'm in 5th grade and I'm gonna be singing this at my graduation. :)

This song always moves me - - - and I ain't even an Indian!

Is a beautiful song it made me cry

I love this song so much.

I love that song is beautiful it mad me cry 🤗🤗🤗

Such a soothing voice

OML this group came to my school to perform it was so cool oi

As far as I know I have no Native American blood….but for whatever reason I’ve felt some special connection to the culture. It’s beauty has always fascinated me and I’ve grown to love it so much!!

Thank you so much for sharing this. It was very uplifting and nearly bought me to tears. Blessings to you and your loved ones.

I learned this song in grade school!! They need more of this now days!! Xoxo

wow this song brings me back

I just saw them perform here in Blanding, UT. They gave a 90min performance, was simply amazing!

I saw this play live at age 7 when I lived in Anchorage Alaska and remember this specific song lol! Oh the memories

Absolutely beautiful, amazing performance of this song. Means so much more than we first sung it. Some 33 years ago lol.

Absolutely love this song.... my elementary music teacher tought us this song. Fell in love with it the first time he played it.

I remember this song from my middle school Beeber in Philly

My music teacher back in what must’ve been 3rd grade (1987-88) played this for class. Very cool.

sing this in music class love it!

I’m from the Navajo nation and I remember this song since I was in elementary.

A song about a unique and very wonderful people!

3rd.grade for me was when I heard this in school back in early 1990.

Was my favorite song to sing in elementary xDD Loved it

We sang this as elementary students at Timpanogos Elementary back in the early 2000s.

I love this song it is very heart warming

this song sounds so sweet i luv it :D

I’m in 5th grade and we sing this song every Monday

Beautifull

i did too. also 6th grade. we had to learn it for graduation

This song is the most best song I ever seen in my life :-)

I love this song! I heard it a very long time ago, and it has stayed with me ever since! Such a beautiful song that is both soothing and fun to listen to!

I love that song

Tonantzin(Honorable Earth Mother) rejoices in beautiful works like these,.....this is good medicine, medicine to right all the wrongs that the white-eye way of life has caused,.....macuilli citlalin(five stars) for ya GreatMusicfromBYU!

love this song i am singing it for my school concert

I first heard from this song in elementary and I didn't know what the song meant until now

Being part Cherokee, I appreciate this genere of music, especially this song!

Reminds me of Elementary School

Takes me back to first grade.

i recall performing this song and series of movements in my high school days. early 80s rainy river high, west fort high and community groups... we were well received. my first EVER public performance. :) it also reminds me of Garnet ... :)

were singing this now

Lolo i have no even Heard this song since 5 years

Absolutely inspiring! The music is wonderful and the costuming and performance is outstanding. WELL DONE! Looking forward to seeing and hearing more like this.

I herd this song when I was in elementy school I am. Now twenty six still love it

This is a very good one

This song was one sung at my Boy Scout Eagle Court of Honor. That was 20+ years ago. And it continues to be great inspiration to my children.

Except me beautiful, class of '78, Moab,.....20 years earlier,.....I FEEL OLD!!LOL!

Lord I miss me elementary school music teacher, Mr. Thomas

Had to learn this in Elementary School!!!

My father was Cherokee, but I am adopted, and was born without Indian blood, so I can never be accepted as a Cherokee. Never the less, I don't know why, but when I first heard this song, I was moved to tears of pride, hope, and joy. As a student at Brigham Young University, I learned the song, and now you can see my own amateur version on YOU TUBE, which admittedly, doesn't begin to compare with this. Congratulations on a fantastic production!

I saw this love was a great experience!

we have to sing this song for graduation

The group went to New Zealand about 39 years ago.

we sang this in school

It's amazing.

Lo mejor leeejooss! yo recien volvii de verloosss !.. benjamin un capo!
