The Huron Carol

 This is an old, old, one - credited to Jean Brébeuf in the 1600s. (Though as the singer - himself a composer - notes, the tune probably postdates Brébeuf).

It's a chant, which to me gives it an older and wilder sound.  

He sings it in both French and English. He notes there are Native words - in the Wendat language, but he felt he couldn't do that version justice as Wendat is a language basically being resurrected, and he felt there weren't enough speakers of it for him to learn proper pronunciation from

 He also notes that the Nativity story has been "reset" from the First Century Middle East to pre-colonial North America. You see this done. I am not bothered by it: the idea that Christ is for all times and all places can also sit along with the idea of "we know a little of the history so we should try to be accurate"

I am similarly not bothered by the reset of time of year (a lot of theologians thing Christ was probably actually born in the spring, and the December time is to piggyback on existing Solstice celebrations. But to me it makes sense to celebrate the coming of the Light as the light is returning to the earth in the Northern Hemisphere).

I think this is also why I like to see Nativity sets that are culturally distinct - I've seen ones from Mexico that definitely incorporate traditional art styles, and ones from Asia where the figures have Asian features, and so on.

(And the funny thing? I think of a throwaway joke in a long ago sitcom where a Black person - I seem to remember her as a "mom aged" or older woman takes a younger white person that they either taught or cared for to her church, and the younger person expresses surprise at the portrait of Jesus depicting him as a Black man, and the woman makes a sort-of joke about "well, yes, everyone sees Him as being like themselves; I bet in Kermit the Frog's church He's green" and yes, maybe there's something to that. Just as long as we remember the historical Jesus was not blonde and Northern European looking...)
