Happy Valentine’s Day!!! Great song to listen to today lol ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Redbone was formed in 1969 by brothers Pat and Lolly Vegas, both of Yaqui and Shoshone heritage. The Los Angeles-based band had a unique vision of blending rock, R&B, and Native American music traditions. Their aim was to create music that celebrated their cultural roots while resonating with a wider audience.

In 1974, Redbone achieved their greatest commercial success with their single, "Come and Get Your Love." The infectious rhythm, soulful vocals, and catchy melody captured the hearts of music lovers worldwide. The song's crossover appeal led to its significant popularity, ultimately reaching number 5 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Redbone's remarkable achievement with "Come and Get Your Love" went beyond its chart success. By reaching the top five on the Billboard Hot 100, Redbone broke barriers and became the first Native American band to achieve such heights. This milestone not only celebrated their musical talent but also brought attention to the Native American community and its rich cultural contributions to the world of popular music.

While Redbone's success was primarily felt overseas, their impact was undeniable. The band witnessed substantial international acclaim with singles such as "We Were All Wounded at Wounded Knee," "The Witch Queen of New Orleans," "Wovoka," and "Maggie." These heartfelt and politically charged songs resonated with audiences, highlighting important historical events, native spirituality, and indigenous peoples' struggles.

Despite enjoying more success abroad, Redbone's influence on subsequent generations of musicians is undeniable. Their fusion of rock, R&B, and Native American music laid the groundwork for future artists to incorporate diverse cultural influences into their work.

Furthermore, by breaking cultural barriers and achieving mainstream success, Redbone paved the way for other Native American musicians to follow in their footsteps. They demonstrated that indigenous artists could gain recognition and appreciation for their talent, opening doors for future acts to share their unique stories and perspectives.

Good morning. Are you following along this week? I can't forget to remind you to put your Moon Water out! So while we show our hearts some love, don't forget to be mindful of the power time. Moon Time is here. XO

I feel like this week's journey has awakened me. Many people say that our Indigenous cultures 'resonate' with them but admiration and imitation are empty without a real respect and honest understanding of our ways of knowing. I was taught to share and to you I pass the responsibility of learning. So if you choose to follow us or imitate us, I ask that you do it in the most honest and kindest of ways. Good intentions will get you everywhere and Good Mind is a gentle way of being.

In general, many Indigenous cultures walk alongside of and in co-operation with 'Creation'. Creation is all living things together; it is understanding that the natural world is our family. If you choose to follow along this honest and organic path with me, you may find some fulfillment that you had forgotten about in this world of 'things', 'materials' and 'schedules'.

This is not organized religion and I ask you not to bring your religion to this conversation. Words like 'blessed be', 'blessed', 'amen' can be very triggering for some Indigenous viewers and they are not welcome on my page. Use your own words - words that are encouraging, holistic, inclusive, open and honest - those are the only words allowed on this page. I will appreciate that very much.

Unfortunately due to a death in the family we will not be having class tonight at 8pm and Thursday at 10am. Thank you for your understanding ☮️💟

Good morning. I feel like things are heavy now. There's so much war both around the world and in our own communities. I feel like if I could leave anything with you, it is what I see as Good Mind. If I leave here tomorrow, never to return, remember this and share this to remind others that there is a better way and a smoother path. XO Never give up on being kind and touching people gently.

Big thanks, Niawen’ko:wa to Tom Porter for being a rock of knowledge in our Haudenosaunee nations

With that, I'd like to explore some ways in which I connect with Creation and I hope that the coming days will create some clarity for those who may be admiring from afar.
