[00:00.00]In My Tribe - Cathie Ryan
[00:07.50]In Monument Valley we ride
[00:14.47]Myself and my Navajo guide
[00:21.00]I'm moved by the majesty that lives here in this place
[00:28.48]His native home the dry desert of his race
[00:36.41]I don't know these mesas or these lands
[00:43.37]Like the fields my mother plowed beside her dad
[00:50.42]And I hold every story that her father told to me
[00:57.74]As dear as myths of the Anasazi
[01:07.02]We ride on and sing our peoples' songs
[01:13.29]From roots that run as deep as they do long
[01:20.39]And although I was born here and raised in this nation
[01:27.27]The blood is strong in the first generation
[02:12.04]My grandmother swept a dirt floor
[02:18.74]As the Navajo did here before
[02:25.41]Kayenta and Kerry may be wide water apart
[02:32.99]But we're alike in the deep core of the heart
[02:45.22]I've seen the sun set at The Sun's Eye
[02:51.50]Left an echo in The Hogan nearby
[02:59.20]A song of my people that my mother gave to me
[03:05.98]In my tribe music is blood memory
[03:16.33]Music is blood memory
