All Our Relations ~ Sang By: Ulali ~ Lyrics By: Pura Fe.
A note about "All My Relations" The music for All My Relations" is based on an
Irish drinking song from the late 1700's. Gary Owen is actuall
...
y the American
pronunciation of two Gaelic words that roughly translate into Owen's Garden,
(and I do mean roughly) which is or was a place in Ireland where people gathered
to drink and whatever. It was listed as "Auld Bessy" at a publishing in 1788 and subsequently
attributed to "Jackson of Cork" around 1800. It was adopted by the American military during the 1800's
as a marching song.
It is often referred to as Gary Owen March or Hale in the States. It was often used by the American military
as they marched into battle to kill the Native Americans, most notably by Custer at the battle of Little Big
Horn as he marched against the Lakota Nation. It continues to this day to be used by the American military.
Pura Fe wrote the narative that Ulali speaks over the music. We use it as the background of the narrative to
commemorate and honor all our relations and others who have died throughout the wars.
