I have watched this and the one from the Oscar's and I have cried both times. I am Osage and am sad to say I have not kept up the typical traditions. I went to the 150th Anniversary in Pawhuska, and I loved every minute of it. I can remember going to Pow Wow's as a little kid, when my grandmother was still alive, and I miss that. I am a member of 2 tribes and have gone to both tribes Pow Wow's and I love it. I even danced..well scooted lol

I always get chills when I hear Indigenous music, but this song made me cry uncontrollably. I hope it wins.

I cried when I heard this because of the ethnically cleansing of their lands of many nations. THE SONG AND PEOPLES LIVE!

I want a surprise win for them in the Oscars. Billie and finneas already won. Time to celebrate their culture by lily and the Osage nation winning

I think in one of my past lives I was an Indian because this music stirs something deep inside of me

Very powerful performance. Men drumming and singing and women singing in unison.

I have a channel on other platform on which I've uploaded a video about Wahzhazhe today, Feb. 18th. And I'm totally in love with the song. It's my choice for winning the Academy Awards.
