Zuni Rain Song

(Zuni, New Mexico):
This song is traditionally part of the Zuni Rain Dance which is performed in the spring as part of a ceremony and prayer for rain and good crops. In this song it tells about the clouds and the rain coming down. It Is calling the rain for good crops. At Zuni this song is performed by a long line of men dancing with turtle-shell rattles tied to their legs, and gourd rattles held in their hands.
The Zuni Olla Maidens have been appearing at Gallup for many years. Visually they are known for their beautiful jewelry, and their ability to walk while balancing fragile water jars (called ollas in Spanish) on their heads without holding them. As a singing group the Olla Maidens are unique. An all women’s singing group is very rare in Indian music, and it is probably due to the Gallup Ceremonial itself that this group was formed. Each night they sing different songs for the audience, some are of their own composition, and some are borrowed. The rain song, recorded here, is borrowed from the traditional rain ceremony described above.

#Elder’s #Meditation of the Day April 3

“We know that in all creation, only the human family has strayed from the Sacred Way.”

#OJIBWA #Prayer

#How have we gotten so far off track?

What has happened to us?

What is happening to our family?

How did it happen so quickly?

Every individual needs to answer these questions for themselves.

What do we need to do to start living the #Sacred #Way again?

#Pray! Today I will start praying. I pray the Creator will lead all Native People to a #great #healing. I pray we’ll be free from alcohol and drugs. I pray we will return to the culture, to spirituality and to #unity.

My Mother, help us to heal ourselves. Make us strong again.
