His Vibrations Still Felt: 21 Year Old Native American Indian Song Writer Gone Before His Time 

9/30/2015

 
This amazing video below shows dozens of Native American Indian drummers and singers presenting a song written by Aaron Lone Eagle before he passed-over at the young age of 21 on July 15, 2015.
   Watching and listening is a reminder of the vibrations of one man's written words. Of one man's life. 
   How much extra do we feel the vibrations of those still living now? Each of our lives matter, now.
Share A Memory
DEFINITION:  "Vibration"
A general emotional feeling one has from another person or a place, situation

In Memory of
Aaron LoneEagle Montez
May 15, 1994 - July 15, 2015

Age 21
Providence Forge, Virginia.

Today Aaron Lone Eagle song got sung. Aaron wrote this song but he died before it was ever sang in public. Today all of his drum brothers sang his song at the Chickahominy powwow. At about 4:15, you will see Aaron's son Grant brought to the drum, and he continues to drum with his uncles.

A beautiful overcast sky, amphitheater lawn and hot chocolate greeted 120+ people who participated in today's casual discussions and demonstrations about Native American Indian Culture; many of them children.

After the drum circle, 40 volunteers stayed to offer how they can help bring The Gathering to the Clarke County Fairgrounds Oct. 30 - Nov. 1.

Five Indigenous Maps sold as part of the fundraising efforts for The Gathering.

Meanwhile, in the back yard, Clermont Farm Bob Stieg hosted three guided walking tours at the slave quarters and main house. Learn more about Clermont Farm.

Native American drums play an important part in many Native American Indian tribal ceremonies, celebrations and spiritual festivals.

To many the beat of the drum symbolizes the heartbeat of our mother, to others thunder and lightening; and helps us find close relationship with Creator and our roots.

Supaman- Why feat Acosia Red Elk

Sometimes the Creator allows us to go through things in life where we ask the question "why". Why do bad things happen to good people and so on. Some things will always remain a mystery to us until the next life. So let us focus on how we will respond to these things and what we intend to do now that it has happened, in PRAYER, IN LOVE, IN PEACE AND HOPE! Check out this amazing video featuring my friend Acosia Red Elk! Spread the love! A'ho!! #illuminatives #supaman #powwowlife #dearnativeyouth #hope
