Yeha Noha is a track from the 1994 album Chants and Dances of the Native Americans by the project Sacred Spirit. The project was created by German musician Claus Zundel and aimed to blend traditional Native American chants with modern electronic and ambient music.

The album features a variety of chants from different tribes, including the Navajo, Hopi, and Zuni. Yeha Noha specifically features a Navajo chant, which is sung by a group of Native American vocalists.

The track was a commercial success, reaching the top ten in several countries, including the UK, France, and Germany. It is often cited as a prime example of the Enigma-style world music that was popular in the mid-1990s.

The project was not without controversy, however. Some Native American activists criticized the use of traditional chants in a commercial context, arguing that it was a form of cultural appropriation. They also pointed out that the project did not give enough credit or compensation to the original vocalists.

Despite the controversy, Yeha Noha remains a popular and influential track in the world music genre. It is often praised for its beautiful and atmospheric sound, and for bringing attention to the rich musical traditions of Native Americans.
