STORY TIME: A Tale of Two Squirrels

Mahk Jchi is a powerful song written by the Native American women's group Ulali. The song is in a compilation of Tutelo and Saponi languages, now extinct dialects of the Sioux nation from the Ohio Valley. There is a commonly mistaken translation of this song widely circulated on the internet but the translation below has been confirmed by the artist. This song takes some investment in learning and is more complex for choral learning, but very do-able by oral-tradition and wonderfully worth it.
