    white guy from KC, MO here...Northern Cree Singers ROCK!!! Like @MrRuffnecks, I don't know how any white person with a soul doesn't cry listening to your songs... At the same time, they also make me smile and laugh!! I can't get enough of them! They are powerful! They are beautiful! They are real! I hope you feel great pride in the incredible resiliency of native people here in North America that your singing and drumming represents! Thank you!!
  • This song makes cry.because I lost my man who sang this song to me.it's been 2yrs.gone by now
  • Been struggling as an urban-raised cree child, but i still remember the music i grew up with. Thank you for sharing the experiences, thank you for singing so proudly. So much love, northern ontario.

    I'm ever so happy to know even the Non Native American friends I have love this, I'm enrolled here in Washington State, a part of the Fourteen confederated bands and tribes of the Yakama Nation. FBI you know ( Full Blooded Indian)...Love, Peace, And Fry-bread Grease!! Our spirits may be lifted in a way we can only feel.. sometimes see... in our emotions..

    While all instruments are good, and have their place, there's something about the drum and the voice together that connects to the spirit like nothing else. We need hymns written that call for the drum and voice combination, to thank God for His gift of music.
  • Absolutely in love with this song. Would love to see them sing in person one day. 😊
  • @justbe1451
    The energy that flows from this is astounding, what I'd give to be here in person. ❀
  • @ChiefXAli
    i LOVE how they have the young boy drumming with the men. Passing it along for his children and his children's children. What a blessing!
  • When I started to listen to Northern Cree this was the song I listen to for days what a beautiful song love it......
