    These were always my favorite songs as a kid. It was always nice to see the smiles on peoples faces. Round dances and love songs.
    This warmed those holes in my heart. Thanks brothers.
    Amazing group!

    white guy from KC, MO here...Northern Cree Singers ROCK!!! Like @MrRuffnecks, I don't know how any white person with a soul doesn't cry listening to your songs... At the same time, they also make me smile and laugh!! I can't get enough of them! They are powerful! They are beautiful! They are real! I hope you feel great pride in the incredible resiliency of native people here in North America that your singing and drumming represents! Thank you!!

    jewish guy studying music at college in massachusetts. this music is so powerful. it has so much emotion and rawness. it's so HUMAN. i want that feeling all the time. at @5:55 i wanted to scream too. they can't teach this kind of music to you in school, because it's already inside all of us.

    While all instruments are good, and have their place, there's something about the drum and the voice together that connects to the spirit like nothing else. We need hymns written that call for the drum and voice combination, to thank God for His gift of music.

She sounds just as good as the fellas. Keep on. Amazing song btw. NATIVE PRIDE

      +singerboy dancing and enjoying is worship... worship to oneself for having the pleasure of making it this far, the pleasure of community, friendship, worship of all... that is what dancing and songs like this are about... because worshiping brings me pleasure
