Hello . Isn't Susan Aglukark great ? Don't you think she would make a great Governor General ? It would mean a lot to the people of the North and would be an inspiration to all of the young people in Canada . If you agree could you pass it on ?

I am honoured to have met Willie Dunn one special evening many years ago. About forty of us elementary school teachers sat around a Sacred Fire outside at night and sang along with him as he played the guitar. It was magical.
This group came around to my grade seven class, spoke, and gave a cassette of their song to each one of us. I wore mine out a long time ago now. Thanks so much for posting this.
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.

This is very powerful. I remember referring to this song throughout my years of academia. I managed to obtain a college level education as well as a law degree.

@@elverdad6805 Yes she would be a great Prime Minister . I'm not sure she would take that on but we a need a new GG and I think she might consider that job . Anyways thanks for getting back to me . I hope you'll pass this idea on to a few of your friends so we can create a ground swell of support . Whether its her or someone else it should be an indigenous person .
Thank you for sharing this empowering song. I remember when it aired and how it became a jingle on the street; adults and children of our community, full of promise and spirit, singing and dancing around in esteemed celebration of a promising journey before them. I hope this is shared, felt and heard across the Universe.

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.

I know they are in the language arts resource Collections Anthology - I think Grade 4. Should be copies in most schools.
See below
Who is the artist singing in french?
+Mike C If I am correct, Fara.
+gracestephanie Sadly no i looked Fara up shes the dark long darked haired girl. wearing the black sweater. Ive searched everywhere cant find the name of the lady singing in french any where.
+Mike C By the looks of her, just another wannabe.
Sylvie Bernard who is Abenaki, definitely not a wannabee.
You can find her song " Vivre " which includes lyrics in her tribal language. Much of her work is in French however and is also here on youtube.
