Remember, shortly before the prisoners were hanged, they sang an old Dakota tune. This tune is known today as the „Dakota Hymn“ ( Many and Great, O God , Are Thy Works )
This hymn was originally written in 1842 in the Dakota Native American language by Joseph R. Renville. Its Dakota title is "Wakantanka taku nitawa". The first and last of the original seven verses were translated to English by Philip Frazier in 1929 .
Renville is generally credited with turning three traditional Dakota tunes into Christian hymns in the Dakota language, including this one.
This song first appeared in the "Dakota Odawan", also known as "Dakota Dowanpi Kin" published in Boston in 1842). Of the hymns published in that book, this is the only one for which the original melody is known to have been a traditional Dakota tune.
Some assume, the song was a death or funeral song.
Therefore, it is uncertain what text the condemned sang at that time.

More than topical ! EARTH IS ALIVE: HULI TA TUM UHW was filmed before a public audience at Lummi Nation, where Coast Salish political and spiritual leaders shared their knowledge of traditional lifeways and carried these ancestral teachings into the conversation on climate change. As a people whose territory and relations are intersected by an international border between superpowers, our work demonstrates the importance of maintaining our relations across this border location, despite the historical interference. THE EARTH IS ALIVE shares ancestral teachings on Natural Law, Matrilineal Law, Power of the Giveaway and Pursuit of Spirit. By sharing our cultural teachings through an engaging multimedia screening, live performance, and practice of traditional giveaway, we share some of the transformational power of our traditions in practice. hollywoodtheatre.org/events/the-earth-is-alive/cinemo

Hello ouroboros ,
in 1849 , Chihuahua governor Triaz placed scalp bounties on the Apaches and he placed especially a bounty of 1000 Pesos for the scalp or head of Chief Gomez. Maybe, there was a rumor in 1850, that Chief Gomez was killed ( I don't know ) . But Chief Gomez was alive . He even countered that bounty on his „crown“ and offered a scalp bounty of 1000 $ per American.
The band of chief Gomez consisted of five local groups with about 400 warriors, his band lived in the Big Bend Country and the Trans-Pecos on both sides of the Rio Grande with his stronghold in the Davis Mountains. Gomez was in control of the Davis Mountains between 1840 to 1860. He was friendly to the Anglos until Glanton's scalp band attacked them . Around 1860, he diasappeared from any record or report. Maybe he was died or he settled down somewhere in Mexico. Howsoever, we don't know .
Some details about chief Gomez you can find in the book : Apaches – A History and Culture Portrait , by James L. Haley

Lillian Pitt is a Native American artist from the Big River (Columbia River) region of the Pacific Northwest. Born on the Warm Springs Reservation in Oregon, she is a descendent of Wasco, Yakama, and Warm Springs people. Her Native American name is Wak’amu (camas root), chosen because it represents a "stubborn plant that won’t let go of the earth", referring to the long periods of time she spent wandering the hills during her childhood. Pitt is primarily known for her sculpting and mixed media artistry, which focuses on 12,000 years of Native American history and tradition of the Columbia River region. Pitt was born and grew up on the Warm Springs Reservation in 1944 and later moved to Portland, Oregon in the early 1960s after graduating from Madras High School. Due to a back issue, she decided to take art classes at Mount Hood Community College and practice designing ceramic masks in 1981. Lillian Pitt is also known for her iconography, in which she works to identify ancestral Columbia River petroglyphs in order to affirm the indigenous presence in the region. Pitt is skilled in reanimating ancient images illustrated on rocks. And in the 1990s, she began experimenting with several mediums, including precious metals to create jewelry, bronze masks, and sculptures. She has also collaborated with the Pendleton Woolen Mills to create blankets representing the Columbia River legends and petroglyphs. In 2000, the Army Corps of Engineers commissioned her to create bronze plaques on petroglyph imagery for Columbia River tribal fishing sites, which were flooded by a dam. During the same year, she was awarded a fellowship from Portland’s Interstate Firehouse Cultural Center to create large-scale bronze sculptures. She had also started several public arts projects in the early 2000s, in collaboration with artists such as Rick Bartow of the Wiyot tribe, Gail Tremblay of the Onondaga/Miqmak tribe, and Elizabeth Woody of the Navajo/Warm Springs tribe, who is also her niece. Pitt is a significant partner of the Confluence Project, a collaborative effort of Pacific Northwest tribes that stretches 450 miles from near the mouth of the Columbia River to the confluence of the Clearwater and Snake River in Idaho. Renowned artist Maya Lin, civic groups from Washington and Oregon, and other artists, architects, and landscape designers have also participated. Pitt designed a Welcome Gate for the river side of the Land bridge that reachers oars inset with glass masks honoring Chinook women. Lillian Pitt on her tribal Affiliation : "I was born on the Warm Springs Reservation in Oregon fifty-three years ago. My ancestors lived in the Columbia River Gorge area for over 10,000 years. My father's people lived on the Oregon side near the great Celilo Falls. In the mid-1800's the government moved the Washington Wasco, Wishxam, Wanapum Indians to Yakima, then switched their names to 'Yakima.' The Oregon side Wasco, Wyam, Tenino, Tygh, Watlalas, were moved to Warm Springs, Oregon, then were called the 'Warm Springs' Tribe“ ….
