Deep Forest. Good stuff!
yeah, I'm kind of wondering if anyone has ever published research on the linguistic connections of indigenous languages. I know how language characteristics and drift is how language groups are formulated but now I'm wondering if there ever was a 'single' language. I'm betting on low odds that there was... :)
I know in 'Caveman' Ringo Starr always said 'uell' for food... :)
Study of language reveals the history of its speakers. There has been some connection of the Dineh to the northern indigenous (as in Alaska). But the Hopi have their own language.
The Tuscarora moved from their lands in the south of the US up to join with the Five Nations, making it the Six Nations. I don't know about their language but I know that they shared similar spirituality with the folks up North.
There are a few Lakota dialects, and I bet they're similar to some of the other nations with which they interacted. I imagine the indigenous practice of inter-tribal marriage and alliance cause a great deal of language sharing.
I'm focusing on American indigenous because that's what I'm most familiar with.
I'm willing to bet that the natives 'down under' have an ancient and probably unique language, if it survives anymore. If they can still follow the ley lines and can still walk in the Dream then they probably have some of their language in use.
makes sense to me...
There is a book that I can highly recommend about the (Ab)Originals, Down Under:
"A Mutant Message Down Under"
A Woman's Journey into Dreamtime Australia.

I've read it maybe 3 times and love it.

Thank you so much for the response to my Marie Boine youtube video. I have Sami Lapp ancestry on my father's mother's side and the rest is the typical Nordic Swede on his father's side. I don't know if it genetic or just preference, but the Northern landscape, icy cold weather and Nomadic nature of the Sami I find very appealing. I love the original way of life, complete with reindeer, of the Sami.
The original Santa myth out of Europe is an amalgam of many myths, but the Sami healer shaman dressed in red and white, representing the sacred amanita muscara mushroom, is much like how Sinter Klaus is depicted. And the reindeer...that kind of goes without saying:
Until just a few hundred years ago, the story goes, the indigenous Sami people of Lapland, a wintry region in northern Finland dense with conifer forests, would wait in their houses on the Winter Solstice to be visited by shamans. These shamans would perform healing rituals using the hallucinogenic mushroom Amanita muscaria, a red-and-white toadstool fungus that they considered holy. So holy, in fact, that the shamans dressed up like the mushrooms for their visit.
Wearing large red-and-white suits, the shamans would arrive at the front doors of houses and attempt to enter; however, many families were snowed in, and the healers were forced to drop down the chimney. They would act as conduits between the spirit and human world, bringing gifts of introspection that could solve the family’s problems. Upon arrival, the healers were regaled with food. They would leave as they came: on reindeer-drawn sleds.

First saw him live with Jackson Browne back in 77 ...
Many will recognize his face, but not his name ...
And of course this one's obviously for Frank V ...

"Leland Bruce Sklar (born May 28, 1947) is an American electric bass guitarist and session musician. He is a member of the Los Angeles-based instrumental group The Section, who served as the de facto house band of Asylum Records and were one of the progenitors of the soft rock sound prevalent on top-40 radio in the 1970s and 1980s. Besides appearing as the backing band on numerous recordings by artists such as Jackson Browne, Carole King, Phil Collins, and James Taylor, the Section also released three solo albums of instrumental rock. Both in The Section and separately, Sklar has contributed to over 2,000 albums as a session musician. He also has toured with James Taylor, Toto, Phil Collins and other major rock and pop acts, and recorded many soundtracks to films and television shows" ... More here

This is gorgeous. What interests me is how much indigenous music of all kinds sounds similar, based on terrain. Sami people and the plains Indians seem to be singing to the wide open spaces, to the sky. The Ituri pygmies, not so much, though their music is remarkable--complex, multi layered, more richly melodic, like the jungle itself.
