I’m glad you found this song, my mom would play this on her CD player while she cleaned up from year 2011-2015, it is one of my motivational songs I am 23 now, same age as the year 2023

It’s sad that we’re Cree and we don’t understand our own language, that language stopped at my parents but that’s something that I want to learn in the future. I will always love this song regardless, gives me good vibes. Heard it lots around my dads parties Lol

[@sheenaarnault1239]

Same with me, my Kokum wanted to teach me because her kids never wanted to learn and now that shes gone I only know bits of words. I sure miss her

I love listening to this, good vibes. I don’t understand all either ✊✊✊

Read the biography 🥀

[@xukies.]

I was only 8 when I heard this at my mom and dads party, they would sit around the table with their Budweiser, laughing and telling stories all night and this is one of the songs that resonated with me

[@kelly9239]

To other people this lifts their spirits, to me, it gives me flashbacks to my childhood when my parents would throw parties… waking up hungry to the smell of stale booze & cigarettes, not recognizing the faces of people passed out at the kitchen table and the cold floors beneath my feet. I’m lucky I only have a handful of these memories before my mom got sober. She assumes I don’t remember those days but they are so vivid in my memory.

[@marycatcheway4709]

Felt- then cleaning it up for them because they’re already passed out from a hangover

[@sheenaarnault1239]

Unfortunately a lot of us had the same childhood. My parents did this right up until I was in my early 20s. They used to leave me (as young as 9) alone to watch my little siblings. I didn't sleep much. Probably why I still suffer from insomnia.

[@mclovin8398]

Same here I’m 23, I play this song cause I enjoy it it reminds me of taking care of my younger brothers during those times (I have 3, I’m the eldest only sister) I play this for nostalgia besides all the memories, so thankful my mom got sober since I was 18 😊 I found this song on my moms CD in 2010s, when she’d clean the house and play this song after the party’s over, then I met my cree elder friend Dorothy when I turned 20 in B.C she told me what this song meant she’s in the 70s such a good song

[@JoanneMaloney-re6bc]

I am sorry you lived that . I did that to my oldest children . Then Creator gave me another chance. Blessings to you ❤

[@leonflett8500]

Back in Prince Albert Saskatchewan, they played this song at a night club called Uncle Charlie's, I used to think I was the only one that understood the lyrics. True 100 percent Cree here.

Oki I'm not Cree I'm Blackfoot from Siksika Nation and I love this song 💖 I first heard this song not long after my daughter Shelley Rae passed away November 16,2021.. everytime I hear this song I cry because it reminds me of my girl, I just miss her so much!! 😢💔🕊️ to me this song feels like a prayer, it pulls at my heart ♥️ I love this song it is so beautiful, I wish I knew how to speak the Cree language to understand what the lyrics mean..the only time I'd play this song was when I go somewhere but now my other daughter put it on my playlist on my phone..thank you so much for this beautiful song!! 😊💖

[@melissaherman347]

This was my late uncle Tony Herman’s favourite song. We are Dene and have no idea what is being said. We dance and sing along still! Miss and love you uncle.

Nipin a beautiful song, thank you. I am Inuvialuit from the Arctic Coast and I have learned the beautiful song, same sounds in my language, only different arrangements.

Part of me is sad that i didn't grow up on the Rez. Learn my family history, the language etc... But at the same time. I'm glad. I don't like stereotyping... But I've seen a lot of it, with my extended family, and the natives around where I live... But the drugs, addiction, and alcoholism, surrounding them. But the Native languages are so unique and beautiful... This song is.. wow. I don't understand it at all. But ♥️

[@donnaponty9872]

Alcohol and drugs were introduced to the natives to rob them of their land,their life and family.

Everyone on the rez is just doing their best with the cards dealt to them. There's lots of good people living there. We have our problems - as every community does - but we're still people just like everyone else.
