In February, the Nisga'a People celebrate the return of life to their land.
Ruth Moody from The Wailin' Jennys has generously given me permission to use her song "One Voice" in this video. Please visit www.thewailinjennys.com and buy their music!

I find the song very very appropriate! it captures the very essence of the Sayt K'ilim Goot (Unity - Of One Heart)
Aamhl jabin Jethro. I really enjoyed this montage of Hoobiyee Celebrations 2006!

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.
