Lakota Songs Washtey'Lo

An intertribal pow-wow song I composed. "They all like this pow-wow. The pow-wow people are enjoying themselves. Thats what I like to see."

Thats What I Like To See

From Charles... The Warrior's Song was first sung by a special man of the name of Brave Buffalo, also known as Eastman Papasan to his people, the Lakota Sioux.

Brave Buffalo was in attendance at the 1973 siege of Wounded Knee. In his prayers, he was gifted this song and simply called it the AIM song. Months later, he renamed it to the Warrior's Song.

Brave Buffalo was recognized by his people as a cultural adviser. He would often visit with Lakota medicine man Martin Highbear, and they would run sweat lodges and talking circles in which participants shared their concerns and struggles in recovery. Brave Buffalo introduced people and his clients to what is known as the Sundance.

This dance, which originated in the Great Plains, is one of the most sacred expressions of native spirituality. A four day event, it is usually not open to spectators or casual seekers. Dancers cut a sacred tree and carry it into a circular arbor, where they erect it in the center. The next day at daybreak, dancers will gather and tie colorful prayer ties to the tree and dancing begins. Men who are not dancing will gather around a sacred drum, while women sing to accompany the dancing. This dance goes on for 4 days.

Native people today are protective, sometimes even secretive, about the Sundance. They find it a powerful expression of healing and union with the earth.

Vicky and I wanted to record this song to honor this great human being, the late Brave Buffalo, who I was deeply honored to call my friend and brother.
