Description
After seeing the U.S. Goverment in action lately,
I want to join a new tribe.

Teachings of The Blackfoot Indians

Believe in the beauty and strength our your own being. Forget the foolish belief that you and your fellow human beings were born evil. Those who would control you all the days of your life on earth perpetuate the belief iihtsipaitapiiyo’pa (Source of Life) made things to have a bad spirit.

Live a life of truth and honesty. This makes you a person of quality and dignity. Truth and honesty are the kind of leadership qualities that attracts others.

Give honor and respect to others regardless of age and situation in life. This quality makes you and others worthy of honor and respect, which makes others, feel worthwhile and fulfilled. Honor and respect empowers others so they can win the day. They will return it to you fourfold.

Honor the earth and all that exists. Be strong in this belief and practice it throughout your life because it makes for a world of kindness that binds all the good things of life together in a circle of harmony.

Be humble but not timid. To be humble is to connect yourself to the stars and the entire universe and makes you aware there is something unique about life that is to be enjoyed without fear. We are people from the stars and because of it we are sacred.

Help others realize that life is a dream . . . . A beautiful dream. Dreamers are the butterflies of life and help others to realize their dreams.

Be humorous and help others to enjoy life and the life of others. Humor makes you attractive. The humorous person has many guests and the one who is invited everywhere because of the joy they bring to the gathering.

Never be afraid to talk matters over with those you disagree with or those you love. The gift of language is a miracle and it is meant to be used to live a life of harmony, joy, love, and respect. Use it well and use it often.

What is described here is leadership and happiness in the broadest sense. These are the qualities that make for a great father, grandmother, mother, teacher, grandfather, lover, traditional leader, friend and a great human being. Best of all you can add to this list.

I give these to you in honor and respect: Long Standing Bear Chief, Blackfoot

Lyrics
Translated from Blackfoot;

I am from the Kainai Nation.
I am proud to be an aboriginal person.
I respect my elders.

Nice vocal loop
I love the way this builds. The vocal loop works quite well. The scatching
was a litlle loud in the mix. Love the flutes near the end.
Check out my latest song called Up To The Plate

Nice ethnic groove
Drums are excellent, as was the use of the flute there in the latter half
of the song. Nice ongoing beat....I'm curious as to what the "various
household objects" were?

Thanks for pointing to me to listen to this one, billl. Was nice to read
the text of the teachings while listening to this, as well.

Check out my latest song called For the Beauty of the Earth

Nice ethnic groove
That crash at the start and throughout is a large lid for a pot and some
drumming was my leather couch. The rattle is a box of oatmeal, along with real
rattles. Big Fun.

I keep musical notes stacked up by the door, I got indiscriminate scores spread across the floor, And that's not mention the one's that I stepped on, ripped up or tore. I've written scores for short animations and was a big hit with my Jazz Band... [see more]
