    white guy from KC, MO here...Northern Cree Singers ROCK!!! Like @MrRuffnecks, I don't know how any white person with a soul doesn't cry listening to your songs... At the same time, they also make me smile and laugh!! I can't get enough of them! They are powerful! They are beautiful! They are real! I hope you feel great pride in the incredible resiliency of native people here in North America that your singing and drumming represents! Thank you!!

    While all instruments are good, and have their place, there's something about the drum and the voice together that connects to the spirit like nothing else. We need hymns written that call for the drum and voice combination, to thank God for His gift of music.

    I don't know why ppl are saying she ruins the song because I'm Seminole and where I'm from women are encouraged to sing a long to not only help out but they are also considered guardians of te drum circle so that the ring of unity may not be broken from anything unwanted. She sounds just as good as the fellas. Keep on. Amazing song btw. NATIVE PRIDE

      +singerboy dancing and enjoying is worship... worship to oneself for having the pleasure of making it this far, the pleasure of community, friendship, worship of all... that is what dancing and songs like this are about... because worshiping brings me pleasure
      No idea who is to be worshiped except nature, but there you have it... it is both.

This is history and tradition- something that some Americans know nothing about. I personally loved this. Its so powerful. It blows you away. It just makes you feel......a bond...with Nature..with people...with the world, with your spirit. I personally thought this was fantastic.
