While its exact origins are heavily debated and difficult to validate, it is widely attributed to the Hupa Tribe of Northern California or believed to be adapted from Plains (Lakota) traditions. It has been popularized by Libana.
The Earth Is Our Mother as performed by Libana Lyrics
The Earth is our mother, we must take care of her The Earth is our mother, we must take care of her
Heyana, hoyana, heyan-yan (2x)
Her sacred ground we walk upon with every step we take...
The Earth is mother, she will take care of us… The Sky is our Father, we will take care of him... The Sea is our Sister, we will take care of her.. The Forest is our Brother, we will take care of him...
