The sharing of culture....

This is one of my favorite songs... it is a Mvskoke Creek Hymn that they sing at my church. I have been learning the words to this song and figured I would share it with you... It's amazing that the tradition is still there and I feel privileged to be able to be a part of it! I want to share with you the beauty of a language that, like many others, is slowly dying.

The elders at my church are trying to teach us younger people these hymns so that their use will continue when they have passed on.

Hear it!: Heleluyvn

Lyrics:

Heleluyn yvhikvres,
Hele Heleluyvn, Heleluyvn
Yvhikvres Hele Heleluyvn

Mekosapvlket mimvn vpokes
Hele Heleuyvn

Heleluyvn Yvhikvres, Hele
Heleluyvn, Heleluyvn Yvhikvres
Hele Helelyvn
