17 years later after first hearing you I am always deeply moved when I play this. Our Dancers for Harmony from four schools danced to your collective on many stages including Harbourfront in downtown Toronto. We performed for the last time at Pierre Elliott Trudeau High School on October 10, 2003 assisted by Ojibway Honourable James K Bartleman, Lieutenant Governor General of Ontario, honour four Elders and a playwright Drew Hayden-Taylor (in absentia) interviewed in my 2003 U of T MA thesis on Character Education from First Nations Perspectives, we still all get shivers when we listen to this song and re-member. Three of those Elders dance in Spirit World now. Mitakuye oyasin. Chi meegwetch. We send everyone involved in this production Love and Light in the Spirit of Aloha. You walk in Beauty.

It is so wonderful to again have access to this amazing song "Children of the World" sponsored by our Canadian government, now almost twenty years after its original release. It helped make history in Canada. On October 10, 2003 at Pierre Elliott Trudeau High School in Markham, Ontario, students from the Kids Who Care Octagon club which was first established on Oct 18, 2002 performed a choreography to this song to which other students drummed. Each of the dancers wore a sash in a different colour of the rainbow to reflect that the children represent all the colours of the rainbow of the human tribe. This song created by First Nations musicians including Susan Aglukark originally of Churchill, Manitoba was a key part of our school community celebration led by Ontario Governor General James K Bartleman of Mnjikaning First Nation who honoured the first aboriginal voices in Canada to be published in the field of Character Education in Canada. As a follow-up to this inspiration gift of song, I share the following 2003 thesis from U of T containing wonderful stories and poems by Elders as primary data, it is available at this link as a gift of spirit to anyone who wishes a copy: www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/obj/s4/f2/dsk4/etd/MQ84211.PDF

I think I figured out the lyrics but have a hearing impairment so if anyone sees a need to correct, feel free to do so! 😄 Children of the World You were born with a dream and must open your eyes, The Elders have fed you and given all the signs. Child of waters, grass, wind and trees--- Child of the journey, walk with me. Hold onto your conscience, hang onto your dream, Try not to lose direction, lose your self-esteem. Choose a goal that'll help you win, through the culture that you live within. Chorus: Children of the north, children of the south, children of vision, shine your light. Children of the world. Children of the heart, children of the earth, children of wisdom, shine of love. Child of the wind, child of the sea, child of glacier, can you see?Young will look up as others look on, they may crash your world,that you reference is one. Children of the north, children of the south, children of vision, shine your light. Children of the world. Children of the heart, children of the earth, children of wisdom, shine of love. Hold onto your purpose, hang onto your dreams, Try not to lose direction, build your self-esteem. Choose a goal that'll help you win, through the culture that lives within. Children of the north, children of the south, children of vision, shine your light. Children of the world. Children of the heart, children of the earth, children of wisdom, shine of love. Hold onto your purpose, hang onto your dreams, Try not to lose direction, build your self-esteem. Hold onto your purpose, hang onto your dreams, Try not to lose direction, build your self-esteem.
