Native American Song in Translation

Today I would like to look at Native American song. This topic gained my interest due to the video about the button blankets that we viewed in class. Here is a video of a song with the English translation.

Cherokee Morning Song (with translation)
Performed by: Walela


Walela is a Native American trio of singers. The group was founded in 1996 by sisters Rita Coolidge and Priscilla Coolidge, with Priscilla's daughter Laura Satterfield as the third member.

- I believe that it is educational to understand the meanings of the songs. It is much more meaningful to understand that there is a story or message instead of a strange string of sounds.
