OMG this song is very similar to the "Strong Woman's Song" that we sing at our ladies drum circle!

i love listening to music that my penobscot ancestors would have listened too.. in reality, Indians actually had a concept of what God was like. (Great Creator)

[0817097]

you can go to indian island near old town maine and get a cd that they make from the rez. they record and cell it.. I used to sing this all the time.. I miss it.

[rezryda207]

@0817097 there some actual real advertising!! dont buy any cd's anywhere else. Someone stole the rights to our CD and are making a killing off it. Probably know who im talkin about. I think they just changed the name of it and switched the tracks around alittle bit. But if anyone is interested we have a facebook page under "Alamoosic Lake Singers"

[ForestMystic]

A Spirit of the Dawn cassette tape found its way into my hands over twelve years ago, but I lost it along the way of my travels. If anyone knows where I can find their music available again, please send me a message. Thank you!

[kreepykrawlie]

contact the Abbe Museum in Bar Harbor, Maine. They might have a copy in their store.

[rezryda207]

@kreepykrawlie no... a stolen copy. Get from us the source

[maaniihs]

Can someone comment on the origin of this song? What tribe? When is it to be sung? By whom?

[rezryda207]

@maaniihs the origin of this song is wabanaki... but could have been passed to us from another tribe long time ago and it is a "round dance" but can be used as a honor song... as to whom... whom ever think they can sing it respectfully but dont try to steal the song and claim it as yours as many others have
