As someone accustomed to singing in the Shipibo language, the language of my apprenticeship, I wonder about starting to sing in the Hopi language....
However, I struggle to know how to pronounce Hopi. This is a true shot in the dark: if anyone knows where I can hear chants in the Hopi language or find recordings with written words to learn pronunciation, it would greatly help me.
More gems later, like:
The word for "heart" in Hopi is "unangwa," and the word for "love" is still unknown....
This is such incredible nonsense, and it only takes all of a few minutes to find out is false.
Of course there are Hopi dictionaries. Of course there are recordings. There are even entire college courses to learn Hopi.
And in any one of those, you can find the Hopi word for love. Do a search and an online dictionary shows up for you in seconds. Of course there are also half a dozen Nuage gibberish claims about the word ranked almost as high as the dictionary.
The idea of Hopi and Shipibo being related is also nonsense. Desert culture and Amazon jungle culture, about 4000 miles apart. Languages not related. No sign at all of even being in contact until maybe 20th century, and then probably because of similar issues dealing with culture vultures and Nuage exploiters.
Since Glatigny learned her nonsense about Hopi from a fraud, it's likely she learned also about the Shipibo from exploiters.

https://retreat.guru/teachers/2154-30/lorraine-glatigny-vegetalista-and-ceremonial-leaderLorraine Glatigny, is a Western healer who began her work with traditional medicine Shipibo in 2008. In her first apprenticeship year she did a one year of learning diet, as it is traditionally done in the Amazon. She was given a Western plant, which allowed her to reconnect with the medicinal plants of Europe and thus create a bridge between Amazonian medicine and the lost knowledge of our grandmothers of Europe.
She learned from Mesta Niwe Western man, Panshin Beka and Justina “Muraya” women, a title given to the most advanced level of Shipibo medicine, with whom she performed several diets and long stay in the Amazon rainforest. Through the diet these women have passed on their knowledge of how to enter into direct energetic relationship with plants and treat patients by singing sacred songs which work directly on energy. She spent several months with various traditional Filipino healers who passed on her the oldest practice of healing, the "Hilot", therapeutic massage. She also learned from the Queeros, the last Peruvian Andes descend from the Incas. She lived among the Tao't Batu (people of the rock) in the Philippines, one of the few tribes isolated from the rest of the country, where her integration was possible because they recognized her as healers.

One whole year learning about diet, and then a few months as a masseuse. That's supposed to be impressive?
