@Harry51966 This is an inter-tribal song, but this was done at the Paddle to Tulalip which I believe was in 2003. Wow, time flies! The Paddle to Tulalip was held in Tulalip, Washington which is near Marysville.
It is actually the prayer song by the late Dan George who was of the TWN and Squamish people. Him & his family have shared it with other villages across North America and given permission for its use. It has been adopted as the Coast Salish Anthem here in the greater Vancouver area in B.C. Canada
@shadlock01 I am not sure what the basis of your comment is, but thank you for it. Yes, there are many non-Natives who love the Native American culture. There are many non-Natives who are very dedicated to working in Indian Country on Indian issues, and other various avenues.
Vancouver (Canada) is now hosting the 2010 olympics. Is it true that there is controversy among the Native ( Salish) population regarding the olympics? I heard some First Nation people are involved in the thing and they see it as an opportunity to have thier voices heard while others think it actually victimises them.
I find it interesting how non-natives feel compelled to post this kind of stuff whenever they come accross indigenous pages online. WHO THE HECK EVER BROUGHT UP the stuff you are talking about? I hear a prayer song here...not a "lets hate white people and make them feel bad" rant. Seriously, bring your guilt elswhere. I am sick and tired of hearing non's acting like we are always accusing them of something.
@ndnninja Bull crap. There is noone "native" to this ;land. In fact there is clear evidence Europeans came here before the asians. Just go to the PBS web site, and look for "watch Videos" and find the 2 part series called "Becoming Human" It explains factual evidence on where modern humans came from.
@GeekBoy03 Your take on anthropology, archaeology and history is clearly flawed and biased. Your attempt to degrade indigenous peoples rightful claim to exist as indigenous peoples to the United States is ludicrous. To those who are educated, your rant is as juvenile as a toddlers temper tantrum. For decades, non-natives have attempted to demean the rightful status of indigenous peoples for political reasons. Your sight is funded by a group with special interest in such schemes.
I just want to CRY 😢 when I hear this...Thankyou Dan George Families for sharing this for us all to sing as well..💕❤️💕👏👏🙏🌹😢🌸🌺🌸🌺

Aw I'm glad. My dad passed away in 2016, so I know what you mean. It is definitely a gift from above.

What about the indigenous people in Mexico, Central, and South America? I'm just saying
Very good song by the way. :)

Sorry for the delay in response, Paddle to Tulalip in 2003.
@jebus0000000 I have no idea.
Si Si EM multsteemulth.
@GeekBoy03 This culture originated here, and nowhere else. That's as native as it gets. Don't be ignorant.

silly bee Girl, I totally agree with you on that one & YOU COULDN'T HAVE SAID ANY BETTER. Thanks :)
