Nikamowin (song)

A linguistic soundscape comprised of the deconstruction and reconstruction of Cree narration dances with various manipulated landscapes. This audio-visual experiment begs questions of how languages exist, emerge, and survive. It is obvious that the altered and constructed Cree that the director 'speaks' in this film is not one that conforms to the traditional constructs of the Cree language, but it does resonate deep enough to make us feel like we are hearing something that we truly understand -- a message that begs lost language speakers to hear their inner song of pride so they can bring back the language that lives alone waiting in the darks of their spirits. http://vids.myspace.com

This is wicked.I feel soooo immediately travel sick in this space. But I love the sounds. Why are you? There is a gentleness and strength in only a few basic words. :)

If he's "Indian" then he should be speaking "Hindi" if he's Native American then he should speak cree,
