This song always moved me. Now the video makes me cry. Oh, and to add, my daughter and I dance around the living room to this song... it's simply so beautiful, moving and filled with passion and meaning. Thank you, Jeremy!

[@zanebarratt]

I am waiting for the day I can see you perform live again, because you are just incredible! Wonderful job on this video, all of you! Your work is truly admirable and I wish you all the best!

[@emilygclarinet]

Stunningly gorgeous - the music, the dances, the outfits, the people, all of it.

[@albertbedward1403]

I watched and listened to his performance and interview on youtube - Jeremy Dutcher - Full Performance (Live on KEXP), bought his album Motewolonuwok, played it over and over again, felt the freedom to write poetry and song. His work, his words are so moving, so moving.

[@robynkweaselbear9877]

Honoured to host you at the 2018 Vancouver QAF. I didn't mention at sound check that I had just lost a brother the previous day. I could not interrupt your work, and your work with the youth! Very awesome. Coming from a tradition of Blackfoot powwow songs, your music is so powerful for me to this day and I listen to your songs for encouragement and inspiration, daily. Thank you for the CD too Jeremy! Love to you in all of your endeavours

[@vonlipi]

This song moves me to tears. It is so beautiful…even if I have no idea what the words are….

My mother recently got a promotion at her work and had to take an Indigenous sensitivity course as part of her training. Good Gods, you wouldn't believe the stories. I knew some of this already, but with the residential "schools" (I will never refer to those places without the quotation marks there because they weren't schools, they were torture chambers), there was scarcely a girl who went through the system who wasn't raped and scarcely a boy who wasn't beaten. When they turned 18, they'd e turned out of the "schools", go home, and not be able to remember their parents' names or their own original, real name, since many of the children were taken at a very young age. In later years, when the film industry first kicked off (though the last "schools" in Canada at least didn't close until the late 80's and early 90's), people initially tried portraying Natives as gentle lovers of nature, but none of the white audience wanted to see those movies. Hence the birth of the Western, with the (and I'm sorry for this) "cowboys and Indians" themes. But none of the "Indians" (remember, folks, Indians are from India) were played by actual Natives. You'd have the likes of Gregory Peck doing the equivalent of black face, not to mention the clothing, none of which represented actual Clan or Tribe styles. Feathers everywhere, all the women portrayed either as extremely ugly or extremely sexualized, and so on and so on. And Trudeau thinks "We're sorry" is enough? Dutcher was right in his Juno's speech: "We can all do better." No kidding.

[@at_brunch3852]

It’s HARPER that has a calloused heart. John A. MacDonald ( Scotsman) FIRST PRIME MINISTER set the whole $hit show started. Justin Trudeau has a HAIDA EAGLE TATTOO on his shoulder. Please blame the right ppl and do not follow Tory Conservative nor vote for them. FRENCH mixed with First Nation ppl to make Métis. The MOST FEARLESS ppl to establish our country. I am one/ registered. THEY went after our identity to clear the pages of History. The native ppl welcomed the French settlers but the english had more ‘artillery & whiskey’ to trade for furs. Who else would manufacture hats out of beaver pelts. And; coats out of Buffalo hides. All ‘PROPER’ n’all!!! 🧐🙄

Hi someone came to my school to share this song and the story behind it. This song is amazing! Keep up the good work. This songs back story really spoke to me. Thanks!

[@LeopardThongPrint]

Artistry at its finest and the beauty of taking the music sung so long ago to transform it and make it new in today's land is incredible and the video is beautiful and moving.

[@charliecarrier349]

Some of the coolest and most currently relevant music/research I know about.

Woli-kiseht Jeremy! What a beautiful way to keep our language alive

[@ActiveAdvocate1]

You know, I think he's a good guy. I saw the Arkells help him finish his speech ("and don't f*cking cut him off this time!" LOL), and he's so soft-spoken but strong about it. If ANYONE has the right to talk about reconciliation, it's a Native dude, not this white fangirl of his (i.e. me), but I like hearing him do it.

[@MikeBern]

Very powerful and moving. Woliwon

Nice. Serious Irrepressibles vibe.

[@ActiveAdvocate1]

This is spellbinding. It's like...a Chris Garneau song (look him up) meets a Queen video meets The Greatest Showman meets Indigenous spirituality. That is a WEIRD combo but it's absolutely perfect.

[@ActiveAdvocate1]

@Tracy Johnston, that VOICE, though, my Gods. Groban has opera training, sure, but not like this. As to Buckley, fantastic song-writer, but...yeah, I like Jeremy better.

[@ActiveAdvocate1]

@Tracy Johnston, I will, thank you, but do yourself a favour and, if you're not familiar with the rest of Jeremy's work, just copy/paste "Wolastoqiyik Lintuwakonawa" into the KZbin search, and click the full album. Good God, he's a God. 💘

[@ActiveAdvocate1]

@Tracy Johnston, oh, if you type in (minus quotes) "Jeremy Dutcher Wolastoqiyik Lintuwakonawa", you can listen to it as a playlist if you click the album cover on the right side of the screen, if you're on a PC. I do this every day before work, because my job involves reading and writing. I discovered a long time ago that I can't do EITHER if I'm listening to music with lyrics, so I used to do instrumentals, but then I found him and realized, 'Oh, hey, if I can't understand what the artist is saying, then it doesn't split my concentration, either." Only problem is, I'm a musician, too, and I now know his work so well that I'll be working on a paper, and then just burst out singing with him. Can't help myself. Thankfully, I work from home, LOL. "Ultestakon" is my favourite, and I can play SOME OF IT on piano. I think he's said it's a lullaby? I can't play piano like him, though, and I wouldn't presume to try.
