Honoured to be part of this project. Thank you to all who made this happen and thanks to those that are contributing to our gofundme!
Attend your concert last night! You are an amazing group with a very relevant message! You, your group and your music should be centre stage at every Canadian event! You should be featured on every Canadian radio station AND if they don't soon OFFER you a Juno, then they don't know music! You are top of my playlist for years!
I am Italian and I love Native American culture. Mi' Kmaq is a great people. Love your culture and care it.
I hear your cry, I feel your beat. Thanks be to our great heavenly Father for your voice!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Sending you love. I am Isreali Jewish and this sounds so much like the music of my culture. May God richly bless you.
This is the music of the earth. Her spirit vibrates with the meaning and tones. If all were to listen to the first nations Chiefs, this world would be a much better place.

Love this…thanks CBC for bringing this lively great song and musician to my attention. Perfect setting and the dancers and band are just right. Well done to everyone!
I just love my culture . I am part of a tribe that is starting to get forgotten. I wish people cared a little more.The Mi'qmaq is the name of the tribe I am in.
Keluk tela'ti'ken nitap - Doing great my friend! Taho! Koju'akin'ah!!
I heard this on CBC the other day. Keep going Morgan, you're doing amazing things!
This brings heartfelt tears to my eyes...
I went to Millbrook First Nation with a friend for Truth & Reconciliation Day today and heard this song performed live with Morgan Toney and Alan Syliboy & The Thundermakers and it was amazing!!!
I've become instantly obsessed by Ko'jua..
You are the greatest singer I love you too
Hoping you sing this in Woodstock tonight!
