When you're native and can't understand the meaning of the song, but it resonates with your soul.

DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG I LOOKED FOR THIS SONG!!!! Literal years! My mom used to listen to it all the time and i heard it when i was 6 and its been stuck in my head since then!

My Kokum passed last year, my Papa a week ago, I showed her this song before she left us and she couldnt stop smiling hearing such a catchy song in her first language. I miss you old lady, I hope you and Papa are happy to be together again 🖤

It’s sad that we’re Cree and we don’t understand our own language, that language stopped at my parents but that’s something that I want to learn in the future. I will always love this song regardless, gives me good vibes. Heard it lots around my dads parties Lol

To other people this lifts their spirits, to me, it gives me flashbacks to my childhood when my parents would throw parties… waking up hungry to the smell of stale booze & cigarettes, not recognizing the faces of people passed out at the kitchen table and the cold floors beneath my feet. I’m lucky I only have a handful of these memories before my mom got sober. She assumes I don’t remember those days but they are so vivid in my memory.

Brings back home memories. 😌🙃 my parents used to listen to this song when they threw a party 🎉. And everyone would sing along . Yea ... 😖 sitting here reminiscing. Anyway . Rest In Peace to my mom and dad . 😢😪💕. And this songs to them . 💜❤️ & a merry Christmas 🎄.

Nipin means summer.and this song reminds me of my moshom he passed away and he always uesd to listen to this.i just really want him to came back😢😢😭😭😭😭😢😢😭😭😢😢😭😭😭😭😭😔🤧🤧🤧

I was only 8 when I heard this at my mom and dads party, they would sit around the table with their Budweiser, laughing and telling stories all night and this is one of the songs that resonated with me

Once upon a time, not too long ago. You arrived, and right away I knew that I loved you... That line in Cree always sends shivers through my nervous system.

Back in Prince Albert Saskatchewan, they played this song at a night club called Uncle Charlie's, I used to think I was the only one that understood the lyrics. True 100 percent Cree here.

This was my late uncle Tony Herman’s favourite song. We are Dene and have no idea what is being said. We dance and sing along still! Miss and love you uncle.

This guy is my great grandpa❤️from saddle lake Alberta

A good friend of ours, loves to sing in Cree. He wants to preserve the language and I must say he does it so well with music. Everyone tries to sing along with him, his boys, daughters & wife. They all sing with him.

Oki I'm not Cree I'm Blackfoot from Siksika Nation and I love this song 💖 I first heard this song not long after my daughter Shelley Rae passed away November 16,2021.. everytime I hear this song I cry because it reminds me of my girl, I just miss her so much!! 😢💔🕊️ to me this song feels like a prayer, it pulls at my heart ♥️ I love this song it is so beautiful, I wish I knew how to speak the Cree language to understand what the lyrics mean..the only time I'd play this song was when I go somewhere but now my other daughter put it on my playlist on my phone..thank you so much for this beautiful song!! 😊💖

Love this song even if I don t understand the language cool

This song lifts my spirit and gives me goosebumps

We need more songs to be made in Cree and to be taught more in my reserve we have Cree class everyday for our kids and it is great....I am a proud Cree woman

brings peace my mind! what an awesome song! I love it!

My mom loved this song. I still have the CD she gave me. I miss her 💔

This is a beautiful song, Carl Quinn, thank you. Keep on singing and keeping the language alive.

Love this song so much brings me back to days where I was kid just running around in the bushes and everything lol and what’s a plus I can understand what he’s saying 🤗❤️

anyone remember hearing this on the radio a long time ago? I used to sing this with my family all the time. such a wonderful experience

Nipin a beautiful song, thank you. I am Inuvialuit from the Arctic Coast and I have learned the beautiful song, same sounds in my language, only different arrangements. Nipin in my Inuvialuit language is, "Your Sound, your voice, your command", to mention a couple of Inuvialuit words, thank you, Quyanainee.

Reminds me of getting up early on a early morning where its still dark out getting ready to head into town. While this song casually plays on the radio. Rez ol memory lane

I’m Ojibway but I’ve always loved this song. Forever be a classic.

This is my uncle!!!

LOL this song reminds me of all the rez parties I seen growing up in the rez. Good times

My mother sings along with this song. . .i just love it when she does ..great tune

Love this song so much.. reminds me of the angels from here that God has taken away from us, I don't blame him for taking them away.. They needed to go home(heaven)

I'm 47 this year and have always listened and always sing this song...it has a special meaning for me and always will..love it

this song reminds of when my dad and sisters and brother would full blast this song along with 'indian car' and 'run as one" while cruising around up north in onion lake long time ago in my mosoms old rusty truck :)

really love this song my late friend would always put this on now i just listen to it whenever i feel lonely remember the good old days we spent together

This was the favourite song of my friend Rob, who died at 18 in a car crash caused by a drunk driver (who survived), and Rob's father Paul, a Mountie whose favourite song was Keith Secola's NDN Cars, died next day in ICU. :-/ R.I.P.

Part of me is sad that i didn't grow up on the Rez. Learn my family history, the language etc... But at the same time. I'm glad. I don't like stereotyping... But I've seen a lot of it, with my extended family, and the natives around where I live... But the drugs, addiction, and alcoholism, surrounding them. But the Native languages are so unique and beautiful... This song is.. wow. I don't understand it at all. But ♥️

I'm ojibway, used to be called soutleau, or sooto, but Nipin means water, i was fluent ojibway language until i went to kindergarden, day school, and wasnt allowed to speak our language, we would get strapped by a leather belt, or get hit by the pointer stick, we all lost our language, i only know a little now, and cant hear my language anymore because nobody can even have a conversation in our language anymore, only the elders can still speak our language, buy they are all passing away now.....love this song
