No, I had just posted it before writing the email to the ilat list.  I
haven'[t had a chance to look at my Facebook account yet.  I will definitely
keep in touch and let you know how it goes.

This is beautiful!  I posted a challenge on my Facebook account for other
Tribes to do the same with their own language and post them on YouTube to
show the country how beautiful our languages are and that the still survive.
I will be doing the same for the four affiliated languages here at the
Susanville Indian Rancheria.  I only hope that they sound half as good as
this Christy's rendition.

One of the seven languages used in the Coca-Cola commercial called "It's
Beautiful" was Keres, a language spoken by Pueblo people.

The commercial showed various scenes of the country from mountains to desert
and from rural to inner cities with people singing "America the Beautiful"
in their language.

A young woman named Christy provided the singing in Keres for the
commercial. "Translating the words to 'America the Beautiful' was difficult
because Keres is not a written language, so we had to go back to our elders
to help translate," Christy said in a video from Coca-Cola. "I'm
representing America, I'm representing my home. It just feels like I'm doing
a good thing."
