@Kotiro44 Thank you for your comment. I have studied about Maori people and know what you mean. I love the harmony they sing when singing their traditional songs. The music you have on your channel is great and I invite all viewers to click on your channel name and hear it. I take it, that that is a Maori group. Thank again for your comment. "Things shall be even better than they were in the past". You can not destroy the Earth. The Earth will destroy the destroyers first.

Awesome video brother, the music is great, the lyrics mean so much and pictures are amazing. I was born and raised in Tanana, Alaska, I am Koyukon Athabascan/German. I was pleasantly surprised to see the view of "Nuchalowya" from the lookout on Mission Hill. God Bless.

@CarlRayErhart Thank you for your comment brother, glad you like the video. In your video of the running of your dogteam, the music goes very well with the team running. For you viewers who are not from Alaska, you might not know that the Erhart Family are famous sled dog racers in Alaska. You can click on the CarlRayErhart and see videos of their dogteams running.

@seantsosie - don't pass on false information. You cannot be a religious "Dine" as our elders told of our relatives in the south. We understand your dialect - being of the same people - we would be as "first cousins". I believe some "new agers" must have gotten to you or else someone with a big white ego got to you to spread this disinformation. We Dene/Dine are ONE people-beyond that Indian ppl spiritually pray for "all our relations". We don't say "religious". We say "medicine people".
