    Aamhl jabin Jethro. I really enjoyed this montage of Hoobiyee Celebrations 2006!

    Niit'ipxaathl Gaak - Keane Tait S.

  • T'ooyaḵsiy̓ n̓iin, Keane! I have been enjoying my life among the Nisga'a and their rich cultural traditions.

  • why can't we hear the voice of the Nisga'a instead of the wailin jenny's??

    its ironic we're watching a celebration of a people, all while hearing song called "one voice" that is completely unrelated to the nisga'a..

  • Primarily, the reasons are technical. We don't have access to a sound studio, so obtaining quality audio recording of performances are very difficult. Secondly, in the Nisga'a culture, songs are the property of families, not just individuals; this makes IP clearance time-consuming and costly.

  • Regarding the appropriateness of the song, the lyrics refer to unity of the Nisga'a People (as applied to the imagery in the video); just as the song progresses through four aspects of musical harmony, the Nisga'a Nation consists of four crests, or tribes. If you watch carefully, you will see the imagery in the video reflects this by focusing on one, two, and three dancers at a time, and finally on the entire group.

  • We have posted a number of other videos containing "live" performances and educational materials in the Nisga'a language, as you can see here on YouTube. I appreciate your question and interest in Nisga'a culture.

  • And you encourage you all to come see for yourselves how powerful the music can be.

  • OH, Did I tell you I like this?

    Yah? No?
