  • Hi Joel, I'm Mi'Kmau, living in Toronto, cut off from my people. For generations. Thank you for this. I'm coming home this summer, a little distance from Shubenacadie, but I'll be thinking of you. I put two songs up for you to listen to...they're self explanatory. Enjoy!

  • well Iam glad, you enjoyed some of our songs, we as Lnu have a lot to share. The song is about our first gatherings. Thanks! maybe? someday you can visit me.. Joel

  • well , if you come down to Eskasoni, we will share some of our songs and tea. Iam just trying to get more young adults out there to start signing their songs.. Maybe they might say if this old man could do i could.. thats my vision..Welalin
