探訪克裡駝鹿族國 ∕ Visiting the Moose Cree First Nation (Part 4b)

Conclusion (continued):

YouTube videos:

There are two videos I would like to share with you:

(a) I really enjoy the one entitled "Native American - Sacred Spirit" made by 15-year old Robyn Nakogee of the Moose Cree First Nation. It was nicely made and the song is, well, very spiritual. As I mentioned in my last article, I am really pleased to come across this video made by someone who strongly identifies with her aboriginal heritage.

You may wish to find out more about Robyn at "ladyqweFnation": http://www.youtube.com/user/ladyqweFnation or go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2TxSOZ7Aws .




(b) The song "Land of the Cree" in the second video was written and played by Don Charbonneau, a Canadian musician living in Wawa, Ontario. The song was posted by YouTube user "lostguide1" whose site is at: http://www.youtube.com/user/lostguide1. The song was dedicated to all the First Nation people living on the James Bay coast and you could hear it at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWK6BAZgM_0



Here are the lyrics as posted on the YouTube site:

Land of the Cree

Freedom had a way of finding me
In this land of the Cree
In the black spruce with the bear and the moose
And people living out on the land
Brings me back to another time
When no shadow crossed this land

The wild geese fly over here
But call no place home
Using well worn celestial paths
They migrate from land to land
And the eagle she flies into my dreams
Bringing tales from grandmother's time

Freedom had a way of finding me
In this land of the Cree
In the black spruce with the bear and the moose
And people living out on the land
Brings me back to another time
When no shadow crossed this land

We are all children on this holy land
And Creator holds us all in his hand
We're all children on this holy hand
And Creator holds us all in his hand
And Creator holds us all in his hand

With this song, I thus conclude my 4-part series "探訪克裡駝鹿族國 ∕ Visiting the Moose Cree First Nation" I hope you enjoy all the materials I have posted on my blog!!!
