Wabanaki lives on even today!

[MultiMudskipper]

Think I just saw them this summer and I sang along : )

[jozsefas]

thanks so much for uploading these wabanaki songs! it takes me right back to the first nations gatherings i have been to

[beckerisfly]

I am penobscot, but only a quarter but i rember my father drumming this to me in drum circles and sometimes even in sweat lodges

[Spiritwolf127]

does anyone know the name of the song for the Sneak Up dance or a good recording? a lot of the ones on here have bad sound quality and that's a great song. Any suggestions??

[petitequinte]

This kind of singing and drumming makes my hair stand on end; I can feel the drumbeat in my spine. I want to dance to it, but I don't know how. My great-great-great grandmother was Piankashaw, but that's the only Native American blood I have; I wish I could somehow connect with that part of me but I have no idea where to even begin...

[Spiritwolf127]

@petitequinte just listen and absorb the power of the music in your spirit and go with it.

[Lesson69PAC]

i dont get this at all...not trying sound racsist.

[savagefam2009]

This was and still is my most favorite It's good that they keep the heritage alive

[savagefam2009]

this is not Penobscot Spirit of the dawn is a passamaquoddy drum group

[kreepykrawlie]

Wabanaki = ALL the tribes of Maine.

[EskMikmaq]

@kreepykrawlie Wabnaki (Wapna'ki in Mi'kmaw) is not just maine, but all the nations who belonged to the Wapa'ki Confederacy. Which includes the Mi'kmaq of Atlantic Canada and Quebec, Maliseet of New Brunswick, Quebec, and Maine, the Abenaki of Quebec and North East USA, Passamaquoddy of Maine, and Penobscot of Maine.

[RCAFchicky]

@kreepykrawlie Wabanaki also includes the tribes of maritime Canada.

[savagefam2009]

@kreepykrawlie i just foiund this again and i was talking to zacleblanc he said penobscot and theres more than just one drum group the 4 triebs in maine have different drum groups

[WollongongWacko]

@savagefam2009 I said Penobscot, because thats what i am. i know the song is Passamaquoddy, but i didnt think it would matter. still an awesome song.

[rezryda207]

@WollongongWacko no its not dont listen to him. im not sure where the song orriginated but its from my uncle who is penobscot too. But im pretty sure he made that song himself which makes it totaly penobscot

[rezryda207]

@WollongongWacko i stand corrected it was one of george pauls "Mic Maq"

[rezryda207]

@rezryda207 hmmm. welli gathered it was a song made for Lenored Palltier... still unclear as of the origins but its not george's song... he made the mik'maq honor song

[rezryda207]

@savagefam2009 no we are penobscot with some passamaquaddy freinds.. get it right! the passamaquaddy drum is huntley brook... Altough the drum we are drumming on comes from a passamaquaddy elder. You must know Bert hes the leader and dom also one of the leaders and then theres me! the song keeper! all penobscot

[zk4ore]

I'm of Maliseet descent. My family comes from Houlton Maine. Great to hear the culture is still alive.
