Thank you for this song. Recently I have been going through hard times and I was sent an email with Wab Kinew in it and I checked out the link, then stumbled on this song. i played it repeatedly for the last few days and it has been my theme song. I LOVE THE LINE THAT SAYS" i am just going t take a minute to let it ride...' thank you for this gift....may the Creator bless you...I AM FINDING HOPE IN HOPELESS....
many blessing to you for sharing. thank you for being there for our youth. they need this in there lifes many blessing Aho thank you again Lil brother.
Wab Kinew is walking a good road. The red road is a hard road for some. I just am thankful that people like Wab Kinew continue to spread a good word to all First Nations. We are still here!...And we are not going away! Peace
This is by far your best! inspirational both in words and graphics. as a teacher, this is the honey to hook students. thankyou for sharing your thoughts in a creative medium we can all understand :)
awesome to hear a song about native heroes! i've been learning a lot about our people in school -Indigenous Studies @ Mcmaster University, Hamilton - thank God i'm in school! :)
love this video! Although I think many indians would consider one of these ppl to be more of a criminal than a hero, as I do, but the rest is good so w/e. Thanks!
But fighting in the white man's army is nothing to be proud of. I winced when it said that he killed 390 enemies. How could anyone in Europe be his enemy?The irony is that many Europeans came to North America to get away from all the wars and craziness over there, yet here they were lining up to eagerly join the fray on a whole other continent.The only thing that war did was to propel American imperialism into the stratosphere. And brought communism to the rest of Europe.He was used by the gov.
Louis riel is my relation, i can trace it back from my grandmother's higher generation!!, I'm the last of a dying breed. Half native half french, we united with the first peoples back in canada, british came and claimed for the queeen, so all i can do is take the hip hop scene, cequel dee establishing change with my native dream. like luther king, breaking discrimination for our brothers from afirca, we give em shouts out here from canada!!!
Your gonna judge a man because hes not full blood. I'm sure hes done more positive for the aboriginals than you have.You need to learn to build yourself up instead of knocking others down!!!
@WinnipegUnderground Your gonna judge a man because hes not full blood.I'm sure hes done more positive for the aboriginals than you have. You need to learn to build yourself up instead of knocking others down!!!
@heartofgold1290 That makes two of us actually im rlated to both of his Grandparents Jean-baptist Lagimodière his Grandpa and marie-anne gaboury (her maiden name) his grandma.
We all have to come together. Work together! Share together! Too often there's competition between us. It's tearing us apart. There are many goods amongst our people. It's time to wake up and strive for greatness. I understand we cannot forget about what has happened in our past but we also need to move forward. We are on the verge of creating a strong nation. The Natives living today are the descendants of the bravest and strongest of all. We are incredible, driven, and capable. Let's Do This!
This is such a beautiful song. It is so amazing that native youth now have artists like Wab Kinew that use the medium of music to show why we should be proud of who we are and what our people have done in this world. It lifts my heart.
Chee Meegwech, this is a wonderful message, it's a message that comes from the heart, and it's in all our hearts, the message is there, we hear it from the great spirits that guide us, that give us strength each day. we are all warriors to those we inspire...
@TheSingleton8 Hi, I'm so glad you are moved by this powerful video by Mr. Kinew. Be proud of who you are and keep finding heroes in our Aboriginal community so you too can be a powerful leader like Mr. Kinew. Miigwetch for sharing.
your nothing but a fuckin hyprocite fake phone fucker.......tell them how you fucked your brothers......everytime you were in the hood me and kg saved youe ass from getting beat up.....and that real talk........you ain't fuck all
@MrsHockeygurl18 Tommy prince is a true Canadian hero and is widely respected amongst myself and other non-native people who serve in the Canadian armed forces.
This song says it ALL, Wab you have said what we Aboriginals have always felt and what we always wanted to say. Congraulations, This song could inspire a nation.
@LadyPortia777 - Wab says in the song "the worst is over now". You're right that texts written in the times of Tecumseh, Riel, and others are pretty racist. The traditional European/Canadian history is pretty distorted.
But modern historians recognize that racism and I think the worst is over now in terms of twisted and distorted history. Many modern historians recognize our tragic history for it was, and describe events for what they were, as ethnic cleansing.
The mentality of the Imperialists is to divide and conquer. it is the energy of destruction, because the white man has no spirit. White man saw the Native peoples as barbarians and taught that to those in Europe- so that objectified the real spiritual peoples- which then made them less than human, in order to get land and wealth.The only thing they forgot is Mother Earth did not give them a receipt for land- so they do not OWN ANYTHING.
"I'd tell you to go read a book about them, but they don't write about our heroes in the history books.."
Pierre Burton wrote about Tecumseh and the "Indian Confederacy" in his books about the War of 1812-13. He makes it pretty clear that the British would have lost against the Americans if not for Tecumseh and many other Native warriors. But you're right, a lot of history is missing from the school-curriculum textbooks.

@LadyPortia777 - Wab says in the song "the worst is over now". You're right that texts written in the times of Tecumseh, Riel, and others are pretty racist. The traditional European/Canadian history is pretty distorted.
But modern historians recognize that racism and I think the worst is over now in terms of twisted and distorted history. Many modern historians recognize our tragic history for it was, and describe events for what they were, as ethnic cleansing.

His story is written by the the destroyers.
The mentality of the Imperialists is to divide and conquer. it is the energy of destruction, because the white man has no spirit. White man saw the Native peoples as barbarians and taught that to those in Europe- so that objectified the real spiritual peoples- which then made them less than human, in order to get land and wealth.The only thing they forgot is Mother Earth did not give them a receipt for land- so they do not OWN ANYTHING.
