The Gathering of Nations
Song was written for and
given to the Gathering
of Nations in 1996, it
was composed in the
Diné (Navajo) language
by Alan Neskahi Jr. &
Arlie Neskahi.
The song was in honor of
Alan Neskahi Sr. who was
one of the first
translators of the bible
on the Navajo
Reservation. As Alan
Neskahi Sr. was
translating the Old
Testament, he heard some
of the songs in the Book
of Psalms written by
King David and he really
liked them. He said the
words in them were allot
like Indian words.
"He had a dream some day
that indian people would
sing this song." -- Arlie
Neskahi
This gift to the
Gathering of Nations is
for all people to sing
in celebration of Indian
Culture. The song is
sung every Saturday
evening for the final
Grand Entry at the
largest gathering of
Native People in North
America.
