  • @mrscr8zygirl Thank you so much

  • you came to my school :D

  • @MrThecheeseman111 Yes I did

  • Someday, Tahiti Treat and Pep Chew might make a comeback, but the wild salmon won't, once they are gone. The reason why I mentioned the treats is if you bought them when you were a kid, you would know what its like to have a craving for something you cannot get anymore. Do you have a craving for something you cannot get anymore?

    Ta'Kaiya never had those things but if the wild salmon disappear, she will know that feeling too.

  • I have seen jellyfish in the ocean by New Brighton Park, some years ago. By the grain elevators. I do not go there too often. Only been there three times in my life.

  • Awesome! Keep up the great work, Ta'Kaiya. And take some time to be a kid and have fun along the way. We love you.

  • @lynnescape thank you

  • Little Warrior, we are looking forward to your new song.

  • @lynnescape we are getting excited to have it completed. Another component just got completed today. the chorus with an all African Children Choir.

  • Send two spirit bears to China. They are better than pandas.

  • @MyVideoStop yes we should send two spirit bears to them...then they would have to ensure they have what they need to live.

  • For the record, Stepher Harper and Joe Oliver do not live there. They judge from far away.

  • TaKaiya, you are a symbol of hope for the future. We will stand with you to stop the destruction of our paradise. You are a beautiful soul. Thank you.

  • @lynnescape thank you so much

  • 10 years old! Did she really write the words and music? If she lives near those mines and oil wells I am not surprized that she has been blessed. Something has to happen to stop mans greed and lazyness. Good for you Ta'Kaiya Blaney - keep it up and let us all hope that you can convince a lot more than 80,000 people.

  • the cutest child singing on youtube period!

  • @1492CrE8edBabylon Thanks for watching Shallow Waters

  • Unfortunately it's not just Oil Spills to worry about it's all the radioactive waste from Japan that's starting to wash ashore. -_-

  • @vividtwist well, that is something we can't control at this point since it was due to an earthquake...what is proposed and what we can do something about is the pipeline from the tarsands in Alberta to Kitimat and the Supertankers on the Pacific Coast.

  • this is definitely a sentimental and very inspirational song and video. Que linda la niña que dios la bendiga. I agree with my gadite sis, Takaiya is a unique name . Our World why do tears fall from the sky. epic

    great video

  • @1492CrE8edBabylon Thank you for your comment...Ta'Kaiya is actually 2 words that means "Special Waters" in Sliammon language.

  • this is definitely a sentimental and very inspirational. Que linda la niña que dios la bendiga. I agree her name is unique. Our World why do tears fall from the sky. epic

  • im going to name one of my daughters after her.i love her name

  • Beautiful voice, thank you. Yes, worldwide we cannot rely on governments any more..here in Australia we have no one except our own actions to control rampant greed, destruction of our last wild places, illegal logging, habitat loss of the our koala daily disappearing, massive dredging for of glad stone harbour will prob mean the end of the Great Barrier Reef//our state and fed govts are so in bed with these 1pc that they do nothing. But the people are rising up. Hope for 2012.

  • @cazzajecko Thank you so much. We need to join together and build on the numbers in order to fight the big companies...it is hard but with each voice joining the fight we are growing in strength. Please share this video with your friends and encourage them to join the fight to save our Mother Earth.

  • @blaneyanne Happy New Year wishes to you and your beautiful family..Time magazine made us all Person of the Year 2011..the collective protestors..think 2012 will be a year of many people waking up, and realising what we have allowed to happen while we slept. Will share and share 70,000 viewers lets get to a million. Our Planet... Worth Fighting For.

  • @cazzajecko We are over 72,000 and growing...our view counter is stuck at 70 but we hope that it catches up to the actual count soon. We are so happy that people all over the world are taking notice. Our hands go up to all people this 2012 as we say Happy New Year...O'Siem...All Our Relations we are all Family, we are all related.

  • Honor and high esteem to young ones such as this, who forsake the mindless world of self destruction, to elevate the consiciousness of the melancholy masses. She represents her generation well!!

  • Amazing song and video, a haunting tune. An even more haunting message. I discovered this song when the video was played at our United Church last Sunday as part of the sermon, the message being that ordinary people can do extraordinary things. I'm in Ontario, but I also live on The Earth, and it needs to be protected everywhere.

  • You have an Amazing voice! (: Keep up the Good Work!

  • kia ora to you , from the lands of the Maori people aotearoa new zealand, as i write this to you, our lands rivers mountains and sea are set to be invaded by apache oil, tag oil anadarko and petrobras. thanks for sharing your video with the peoples of the world , apache oil makes out drilling and minning are safe but we know they are lying and we will do all we can to stop them. your words are a warning to my people but your words give strength to us and our children to keep fighting.

  • @talkin2ya Emote! Our lands are being attacked over here, over there, all over the world...for what? Money...CEOs want to get their bonus in the millions while Indigenous peoples lives are ruined and their waters poisoned. We all need to stand together across the whole Mother Earth

  • Beautiful. Too bad the like has been disabled on this. Great job, Honey. Merry Christmas to you and to your family. You will go far, Dear. Just stay true to yourself. Big hugs.

  • u r amazing we r talking about u in school

    <3 i love U

  • @kikikramar thank you so much. It is up to us to take care of  our earth...not corporations.

  • this innocent call for sanity amoung our policy makers is so refreshing! BIG OIL seems to rule the world..."If we do nothing it will all be gone." Such words of wisdom from such a young girl. I salute you Mom, Teacher and Ta'Kaiya. Dad, you are very cool to support her mom to help her pursue this. I cannot say it enough -- "refreshing." Yes job, economy, fuel are very important...but Ta'Kaiya you represent something more transcendent...you are a hostage to the future! THANK YOU!

  • Ta'Kaiya, you are an inspiration for everyone, I hope your voice is heard by those who need to hear it. Your message is so important, thank you.

  • I hope your message is heard far & wide. The planet's reaction to human's abuse can already be seen and felt. WE must change our ways. Thank you for sharing this song of warning and hope. Thank you dear parents, for backing up and supporting such a talented child with an awareness beyond her years. Peace to you all.

  • The other week 4 out of the top 5 on the charts in the States were Canadian; you could bump that number to 5/5! Great job! Nice voice, and a great message. It is great to see a home schooled student do such great things!

  • Inspiring.  Thank you.

  • thank you for changing the world for the better i support you in vision.

  • You're a beautiful little warrior protecting our Canada. I am proud, Greater Vancouver is proud, BC is proud, and Canada is proud ... of your efforts, your energy, your talent and your heart. Stay strong little warrior.

  • Such an amazing voice. So much to say. I hope they all listen to you.

    Thank you.

  • Hello young lady; I "discovered' you watching BBC tonight.Mr&MrsBlaney thank you for sharing your daughter w/me. Ta'Kaiya is certainly blessed with natural gifts but I want to thank you for instilling in her grace and strength. Thank you for supporting her; for allowing her to reach out into the world at such a young age to walk a pathe that may very well lead us all into taking another huge step toward tangible solutions to healing our planet. I couldn't get all of my thoughts here...

  • @ToniHunterOne Thank you so much, we do what we can to support our daughter and to protect her.

  • So, if that took second what won the contest???? jeebus

    

  • You inspire, young girl! Thank you for giving me more strength to continue to fight Enbridge and the construction of the Northern Gateway Pipeline in Fort St. James, BC. Thank you!

  • Absolutely wonderful. A true Canadian we can all be proud of. The exact opposite of the unethical forces of greed she is fighting.

    Keep up the fight Ta'Kaiya. Millions of Canadians will stand with you.

  • So amazing, I love the message. I cried a little listening to this. You have a beautiful voice, keep it up! :)

  • So amazing, I love the message. I cried a little listening to this. You have a beautiful voice, keep it up! :)

  • i like .. :)

  • Utterly amazing. A God given voice to spread joy to the world.

    David Foster would do well to hear this child sing.

    Sal

  • thank you for this amazing, beautiful song, Ta'Kaiya.. keep up your good work! Blessings to you and your mission..

  • This little girl is like an angel...... I love her!

  • And who is Aileen Cruz, the pianist ,composer or is it Ta'Kaiya's other name? BTW Moving thanks

  • Aww you're amazing Ta'kaiya! And you're the sweetest girl i've ever known :)))) Keep up with everything that you're doing.. You've already achieved so many great things in your life, you prove that age is only a number. ;)

  • @nissarachmidwiati thank you so much. Peace to the world.

  • Very cool song, great message!! Is there a backing track available for this piece? I would love to try and cover it :)

  • @trulykiwi What is that a backing track? Do you mean the original track, we have that. And what do you mean cover it...are you a media rep. and for what media outlet? Sorry for the questions but we just have to know who we are speaking with. you can message me on this channel and I will get back to you

  • What an amazing voice for a little girl. Hope she enjoys her singing - way into her future, at her own pace. Wonderful to listen to... Thank you Ta'Kaiya!

  • We love our Mother! We need to step our game up a little better, take care of her the way she took care of us and our ancestors Aho

  • @MsTay2232 We need to do our best to treat our Mother Earth like she is our true mother. People can't keep peeling her skin, digging into her body, drilling into her heart the way they have been doing. People can't treat her water like sewers and we can dump anything into it...water is life it can bring us life through watering plants or fish...or it can die and the rest will die with it including people. Turn off a lite, don't buy plastic bottles, use reusable bags...little things add up.

    

  • A child is singing this....as adults we should be ashamed. Evil spreads when good people do nothing.

  • @canadianmuslimnproud as Ta'Kaiya states in her speech "we have a voice, we need to be heard we have a gift share it."

  • Wow - this girl is amazing & so are the people who helped make the video!! By sharing her beautiful song & ancestral heritage, she reminds us that It's time for people of all ages & cultures to speak/sing/think Good Words focused on what is important & beautiful to them!! We are actively creating more of whatever we choose to focus on ... :)

  • @LongFloatingIsland Thank you so much for you kind words...

  • thank you with love and respect

  • @iamearthbornami many thanks!

  • Beautiful. Breathtaking.. You are the hope and the future of our people

    Henvey Inlet First Nation

  • @newton7881 We all need to stand together as First Nation, Metis, Inuit, and all people that live on Mother Earth. We all need to do our part in saving our world for the future and the future of the generations to come.

  • WE ALL NEED TO STAND TOGETHER TO PROTECT OUR BEAUITFUL LAND HEARD THEY R TRYIN TO PUT IT UP WITH OUT SAYING IT CLICK LIKE AND LAY IN FRONT OF PIPE LINES ATTACK DESTROY THEM WHAT EVER IT TAKES TO PROTECT OUR LAND SAVEE CANADA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Exelente.!!!!!!!

  • Whoever hit dislike on this, deserves to drown in a pit of crude oil..

  • @jasonleary604 perhaps it was pat daniels himself...ceo of enbridge corp.

  • you are a hero, thank you

  • Thank you for your song, dear girl.You are the hope of the future and we raise our hands to you. Keep singing your song, for a single song can save lives and maybe even a planet so shamelessly desecrated as ours.

  • Many thanks Ta'Kaiya for your stance on such an important issue. You are in a unique position to effect change and will inspire all generations to follow your lead.

  • Thank you so much Ta'kaiya for such a beautiful song and for your own special beauty.

  • I cycled 2000 km to raise awareness about environmental issues. If I ever get the funding to cycle out west I will make it my duty to meet this girl. I love this song and she has a beautiful voice.

  • The first time i heard Ta'kaiya sing, was at the Embridge protest in Calgary A.B. ...She's such an amazing singer, and a role model to people everywhere.

  • beautiful in every single way ... the words, her little voice ... this is such a heart warming creation ... so glad I was shown this <3

  • Thank you Ian Somerhalder for sending you to this channel...

  • Ian Somerhalder sent me here and im so glad he did because this girl is amazing. she has a great voice and she cares about things that are truly important!!

  • il fait plaisir de voir des enfants prendre conscience des problèmes d'environnement sur terre mère.bravo

  • Beautiful. Breathtaking.

  • I wish we can respond to everyone who watches this little girl sing...we hope you get the blessings we do from her gifts. Thank you all for watching.

  • Ta'Kaiya performed this song at Paddle to Swinomish last month. She sounds even better now. Keep it up and thanks so much for your art.

  • @SwinomishTribalMedia Thank you for allowing Ta'Kaiya to sing at the final day. I'm sure she had reached people who were unaware how the supertankers and pipelines are putting our cultures at risks. Ta'Kaiya is very strong in her fight to keep the ocean...shallow waters...and rivers available for all for generations to come. Our hands go up to you O'Siem

  • A face book friend posted this on my wall and I will continue to share in Gratitude, someone already shared this on the Face Book Water Ceremony Page with

    Dr. Masarau Emoto of healing water with loving kind thoughts~~ and I will gratefully be reposting~~ AHO ~~ Love, Compassion and Peace ~~

  • that is so beautiful, thank you

  • Lovely song, lovely young woman. As a mother and grandmother, I am fighting in every way I can to preserve the health and beauty of my community, my country and the planet so that she will enjoy sharing these with her children and grandchildren. Blessings, Ta'Kaiya & Aileen. Keep singing and fighting for a better world.

  • An incredibly wise and talented young lady!!!! Keep up the great work Ta'Kaiya & Aileen. xoxo

  • What a special little human!! Just goes to show: A person is a person no matter how small. <3

  • I hope the oil companies and corporations that are destroying our planet wake up and change the way that they do business before it is too late. The fact that this is set to occur through First Nation's territory makes it that much more despicable.

  • @natch15 You know what I found really disturbing? I was cycling 2000 km across the maritimes to raise awareness about the destruction of a very bio-diverse land in Ottawa. I was waiting in a restaurant for the ferry to PEI when I saw on the news that they gave Stephen Harper an honorary chief status. I almost puked. Harper is nothing but destructive towards the First Nations.

  • @sensfan22 Actually, they gave Harper the name "Chief Walking Eagle" which means he is so full of it he can't fly. I don't think most of the right wing Canadians know that, but many First Nations it is a joke.

  • @blaneyanne Oh, well then that sounds a lot better. That actually is pretty funny

  • Outstanding.. thank you so very much..

  • Thank you so much Sarah...We can't wait to put on the next music video...it will be just as epic as Shallow Waters. .

  • I watched this for the first time a couple of days ago here in Oxford...it broke me open. It was like you were singing for the child in me who cared as much as you but wasn't able to sing her song at the time...as an adult I now do! And i woke this morning with this song running through me..took me a while to place it. I'd say a sign of a powerful song, one that stays and runs like a river through us all. You are inspirational Ta'Kaiya & Aileen much love and gratitude to you both...Sarah

  • thanks for finding that breath loss...you must be very observant for breath?

  • 3:35 for breath loss

  • Planning to do workshops here were they putting pipelines in my backyard to get people inspired to say no to enbridge pipeline and making this as a school project!

  • @steerlings34 great way to get invovled. We will be going up to |Fort St. James to do a talk and to sing in a week.

  • bravo! in every way! blessing!

  • Children shoud never have to worry about shit like this!1

  • I got goosebumps!

  • wow she has a awesome voice!

  • just went trough some old family photos... seeing my sister and i running on the beach, sitting in the garden.., playing outside and enjoying our life. this is how kids should grow up and live, not near an ocean filled with oil and toxic chemicals or near factory standing where there was once an open field.

  • What would it take for this song to go viral or to get to number 1 in the charts? I think it deserves such coverage! The message is important, the words are moving, the tune is haunting & the young girl has a voice like an angel's!!!

  • I cried! :'( It's very emotional! Thanks Ian! You know what to suggest!

  • AMAZING SONG THANKS IAN

  • Спасибо Ян за ссылку! Очень понравилось!
