My brother is the one who raps the second and third verse, with the purple hat. Oh my god, I cried watching this for the very first time! I cried when y'all were making it haha, it was awesome at the end when we all got to be part of it at the front of the school. :D Graduated that very year, and so did my brother. I am so proud of him. :D

My name is Bill. I do not have my own YT account. Just want to say this.Since falling in love with this song I have grown even closer to my own roots. A bow down to all that you must still put up with. I love watching you love your community.

My sister would listen to this song. She's no longer with us .. hits me hard this song right now love you my sis until we meet again...

I am an older white woman who was sent this by a friend who is part Cherokee. I LOVE THIS song, the in tension the message...YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep doing this. NAMASTE!.

we watched this at school, it was so good I had to come back

I'm from pine ridge, south dakota, reservation. When I saw this video, it gave me hope that one day our youth will find the light and be blessed in their walk in life, Wopila (thank you)

Thank you....needed to hear this...my mom is from grassy my uncle keith is one who died from mercury poisoning.......I've been so lost....been searching for something good. Hard in the city.

The hope for this Canada of ours is in our youth. The kids of Grassy Narrows have made my heart soar and brought tears to my eyes.

God bless the natives of this great country. Native people need to be leaders. The only people who truly know how to connect with the land and protect it. God bless you native people, I hope your people become leaders once again. Spirituality is #1 and your people have always understood that. Much Love.

My native language teacher plays this song during class and I love it

Such power and such beauty within this song 🎵 keep up your strong spirits and this beautiful music 🎶 flowing until your voices are heard around the world 🌎 ❤️ ✨️

I just heard today, the interview with Sharice and Paul on CBC radio, and I was captivated with the dialogue, but more importantly, I was embedded in the lyrics of Home to Me. It brought tears to my eyes. What a wonderful production and effort. The vocals are exquisite, the harmonies are second to none, and the rapping works wonderfully (and this is coming from a 55 year old white guy). I have always had a deep admiration for all native Canadians, but it embarrasses and maddens me, the struggles that you endure. I just made an iTunes purchase of Home to Me.

Amazing what you can do, when you give some tools to young people. Talent just flourish! Grassy Narrows First Nation, you should be so proud of your youth. So talented, and valuable, a deep true message on this song as well.

Nobody has forgotten you... let us all grow together and find the answers that will heal the land!

2 thumbs up for this inspirational song to get your message across about the sad situation on your lands & in your community BUT 2 THUMBS DOWN to our gov't for doing NOTHING for over 50 years...just shameful IMO

Respect from Celtic/Norse community! Very powerful song!

This is awesome! We must listen to the wisdom of our youth! Please share this video all across Canada!

My dad took me there once he's gone now. REST EASY DAD.

Hi there! I just wanted to let you know how amazing and beautiful I think this song is! It brings tears to my eyes every time I watch it! I'm a teacher in Ontario and I have many students who watch this video as we learn about access to clean water in Canada. I hope you all stay strong and keep fighting for your community! And know that your voices and story have impacted many Indigenous and non-Indigenous youth across Turtle Island!

These kids are terrific. The lyrics are inspirational and very moving. Home to Me Keep old ways that we’ve always had It still lives inside This is a place where we love the land Let’s work to show our pride Keep us safe, keep us free, like it used to be Don’t want to be tied down We find love where we’re from and beat against the drums It’s a beautiful sound From the ground up, we’ll find a path home Feeling pulled by the sun, wish I can go We learned from the past, now we can grow We’re promised a chance, let the plans show Go big, go far, there are no limits I wanna see change, so my soul lives it They cut down our trees, while we blow kisses Defend our home, while they dismiss us Gete ishkonigan It feels like home to me Taapshko endaayaan It feels like home to me Sometimes it’s hard to find the words to say, “you’re home to me” Sometimes it’s hard to find the words to say, “you’re home to me” Don’t be afraid when you’re falling fast There’s something in the unknown I held onto my culture, it’s been calling me back There is a story of hope Winds of change, long ago, hear the chants far and low Our voices called out for rain The it rained, brought us life, gave us faith, gave us sight To see that we shall remain Let your spirit soar as far as you can Try not to be reminded by the scars of the past Rise from the ruins, keep protecting the land Don’t take it for granted, can’t neglect what we have Stand together as a nation, express what we feel True conversation and address what is real Connected to the land, we are one with each other This is our home to discover Gete ishkonigan It feels like home to me Taapshko endaayaan It feels like home to me Sometimes it’s hard to find the words to say, “you’re home to me” Sometimes it’s hard to find the words to say, “you’re home to me” Gotta stay on point like the fastest arrow Bring hope to the people of Grassy Narrows Want peace in the land, can’t go back to the battles 8th Fire in action, casting shadows From the old to the new, let us show you the truth Light up the path, there’s a glow in the youth Boozhoo to the world, this is where we live Let the journey begin Gete ishkonigan It feels like home to me Taapshko endaayaan It feels like home to me Gete ishkonigan It feels like home to me Taapshko endaayaan It feels like home to me Sometimes it’s hard to find the words to say, “you’re home to me” Sometimes it’s hard to find the words to say, “you’re home to me”

told you people, Native pride is strong in the North..why can't the south learn from us..it's about time we took back what's ours before it is all destroyed....Native Pride!!!! real Natives and yet not one is wearing a headdress..respect.

I listen to you all while life isn't being fair, helps me see that there is something good and beautiful out here. The sounds you make help me in my darkest days. Like today our car broke down right before my husband needed to be at work. Makes me think!!!

I have been following N'we Jinan for a few years now and I must say I love their dedication and spirit for our culture. Being true to who you are and using your voice to educate others in our culture is truly a breath of fresh air. Keep up the amazing music. Miigwech

Awesome video....great work guys and girls.

This NEEDS to be shared in all nations. THIS RESERVE NEEDS CLEAN WATER #SAVEGRASSYNARROWS

Wow! Great job. I love that you sang some in Anishinabek.

I am so excited to be in the reserve of these artists! August 18-19-20 they are having their pow-wow, so excited to see them in person!

Amazing !!

Thank you for your inspiring song. Although I am living in San Francisco I feel connected to the land after hearing your song and seeing you in the snow. You remind me of the song I sang as a teen canoeing on Lake of the Woods, " land of the silver birch, home of the beaver, my heart cries out to thee, hills of the north. Blue lake and rocky shore, I will return once more, boom, didee boom, boom... "

awesome!! Love the song...

just caught on the national!!! holy shit!!! that is f-in good!!!
