DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG I LOOKED FOR THIS SONG!!!! Literal years! My mom used to listen to it all the time and i heard it when i was 6 and its been stuck in my head since then!
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
Me too my mom passed 😢 this all I have of her is this song,music memories and honoring. I'm passing these song to my children so they know listen and that kookum listened to
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
My mother passed away and her parents raised me. I still had my Chapan too. I had a hard time in school too cause my Chapan spoke pure Cree and no English
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.
My Kokum passed last year, my Papa a week ago, I showed her this song before she left us and she couldnt stop smiling hearing such a catchy song in her first language. I miss you old lady, I hope you and Papa are happy to be together again 🖤
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
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.
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.
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
Once upon a time, not too long ago. You arrived, and right away I knew that I loved you... That line in Cree always sends shivers through my nervous system.
Brings back home memories. 😌🙃 my parents used to listen to this song when they threw a party 🎉. And everyone would sing along . Yea ... 😖 sitting here reminiscing. Anyway . Rest In Peace to my mom and dad . 😢😪💕. And this songs to them . 💜❤️ & a merry Christmas 🎄.
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 means summer.and this song reminds me of my moshom he passed away and he always uesd to listen to this.i just really want him to came back😢😢😭😭😭😭😢😢😭😭😢😢😭😭😭😭😭😔🤧🤧🤧
It's ok as native people we are so close to our ancestors who passed. Believe it or not they ain't far. They're looking down on us. Everything will be ok. Just keep going, never forget our culture
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!! 😊💖
A good friend of ours, loves to sing in Cree. He wants to preserve the language and I must say he does it so well with music. Everyone tries to sing along with him, his boys, daughters & wife. They all sing with him.
We need more songs to be made in Cree and to be taught more in my reserve we have Cree class everyday for our kids and it is great....I am a proud Cree woman
Love this song so much brings me back to days where I was kid just running around in the bushes and everything lol and what’s a plus I can understand what he’s saying 🤗❤️
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. Nipin in my Inuvialuit language is, "Your Sound, your voice, your command", to mention a couple of Inuvialuit words, thank you, Quyanainee.
Reminds me of getting up early on a early morning where its still dark out getting ready to head into town. While this song casually plays on the radio. Rez ol memory lane
really love this song my late friend would always put this on now i just listen to it whenever i feel lonely remember the good old days we spent together
Love this song so much.. reminds me of the angels from here that God has taken away from us, I don't blame him for taking them away.. They needed to go home(heaven)
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 ♥️
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.
This was the favourite song of my friend Rob, who died at 18 in a car crash caused by a drunk driver (who survived), and Rob's father Paul, a Mountie whose favourite song was Keith Secola's NDN Cars, died next day in ICU. :-/ R.I.P.
wow ... strolling through a 'Blue Northern' playlist (?) and stumbled on this ... not enough of this good stuff around - definitely going on my playlists!
this song reminds of when my dad and sisters and brother would full blast this song along with 'indian car' and 'run as one" while cruising around up north in onion lake long time ago in my mosoms old rusty truck :)
I always come back to this song for comfort as this was n is our late Shoomis Isaac.Masakeyash Song that he would often have me play twice on the radio as I was helping with radio bingo back in the land of OZ.
im looking for Reuben....for real my name is Freddie Desmarais an would love to get assistance in talking to my old teacher , just using my ladys youtube ATM..lol would you know how to go upon this Sheldon?
My Kohkom is teaching me cree and she says that nipin means summer. I also am learning my language by listening to the elders speak it and I’m apart of a group on fb that has speaks cree fluently. I don’t speak it fluently but I’m learning to speak it fluently.
I rented a car back around 2005 and this CD was left behind in the player, and here was this cool nehiyo song was on there along with "sakastew" otherwise I would have never heard of it...probably eventually though? Hiy, Hiy,
i remember being in a big circle of people holding hands and dancing to this fucken song. everyone going in and out almost like a drum dance. fucken cool song.
I'm ojibway, used to be called soutleau, or sooto, but Nipin means water, i was fluent ojibway language until i went to kindergarden, day school, and wasnt allowed to speak our language, we would get strapped by a leather belt, or get hit by the pointer stick, we all lost our language, i only know a little now, and cant hear my language anymore because nobody can even have a conversation in our language anymore, only the elders can still speak our language, buy they are all passing away now.....love this song
Thanks blueskywoman...thats what I always thought....thats why I had so many women and love pics....but my Cree is not so well so I thought well maybe I was wrong...Thanks so much for clearing that up!
When you're native and can't understand the meaning of the song, but it resonates with your soul.
everything will be alright my friend

Yes Sir that's so true
nina kisketen, 20 yrs old, learned swampy cree thru my grandparents. sucks not speaking cree to others except the elders..

My mother passed away and her parents raised me. I still had my Chapan too. I had a hard time in school too cause my Chapan spoke pure Cree and no English
I want to learn Cree so bad so that way our children can understand and use our native language for generations to come
I love listening to this, good vibes. I don’t understand all either ✊✊✊

I agree. Classes are great but I've read the books but hearing it is much different. Pimatisowin for example is much different read than spoken
This is a beautiful song, Carl Quinn, thank you. Keep on singing and keeping the language alive.
I’m Ojibway but I’ve always loved this song. Forever be a classic.
Love this song so much brings me back to days where I was kid just running around in the bushes and everything lol and what’s a plus I can understand what he’s saying 🤗❤️
My mom loved this song. I still have the CD she gave me. I miss her 💔
anyone remember hearing this on the radio a long time ago? I used to sing this with my family all the time. such a wonderful experience
still gets played here in Manitoba! every Friday on NCI 👌🏽

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