#1 Post by woodsman »

i know most people around here do not seem very interested in very much here - ya bust my chops... just been here a dwhile and see the apathy towards many things.

anyway. and interesting take on a beautiful song in a more beautiful N.S.ian langauge. Mi'kmaq

A beautiful girl with a beautiful voice. It's a shame that many of the native communities are losing the language/culture. Many try hard to preserve it. I have a native background and when I go to the community I rarely hear anyone speaking the language. Unfortunately my family was removed from the community a long time ago and since lost the language.

i hear you! i worked with many 6 nations people (haudenosaunee) and also tried for a rockefeller grant to work with the ojibway in Norther ontario, canada researching and documenting world biew theory re: the elders. trying to preserve their thoughts, beliefs, values, and philosophy before it was gobe forever.

i had many that were on my side but others thought it a threat which was rather absurd with my knowledge and history.

life goes on until it doesn't.

Very pretty singing. I like the guitar playing on this version better than McCartney's original.

I actually live near both the Six Nations and the New Credit reserves. I spend a lot of time out there for one reason or another. My family is Mississauga.
