California Native American Day 2006

The California Native American day fiesta at Cal State San Bernardino in September 06. This video has several different Cahuilla bird songs contained within. One of the first songs is sang by a young man named Larry Hammond Jr. He has a big following and is not new to the birds singing culture. In other parts of this video, Wayne Nelson also sings a very popular traditional birdsong …. “Po Wama Po Yama….” I believe also Mr. W. Holmes is featured at this birds singing celebration that day.
Once again these are just some examples of what is out there that needs to be and every school and college locally as well as nationally.
Please see the San Manuel tribal website for more information about this year’s California Indian day 07 at Cal State San Bernardino.

Luiseno.... Vid by 40ftbox

This is another video that I picked up where my video was being shared@...
Vid by 40ftbox was the producer of this video. In this video you can see how the men stand in a straight line along with the youngster try to interpret what the men are doing during the song. This is how we all learned before…. by doing what the others do. Traditions run deep.. Though sometimes there is no one to show us what to do… Some of us instinctively become what was lost. Some of these guys have the gift and I believe that they should be raised up high for everyone to see how we used to be, keep it going we need more to see.
