Imagine back in the days when they would do these war criez for real to get ready to die

The words are: Sahkawe Sahkawetan Sahkawe Sahkawetan Nimihto E-nimiyot Meaning: You yell Let's yell You yell Let's yell You Dance He makes him dance

the third lead kills it in this song Northern Cree is one of the best to ever sit around a drum NATIVE PRIDE

I remember dancing to this at Pow Wows as a kid :) :)

if you are anishinabe and except it, then you are pure. as a elder once said to my father "the only way the anshinabe can die and someone loses it, is if they do not learn their language. if the children learn the language and the ways of the medicine wheel for ages to come, then the anishinabe cannot die." we should all learn the ways of the 7 grand fathers so we can all live in peace. Native Pride!!! Be Native... or die.

In the words of Dethklok, "This is pretty fucking metal."

I believ the Creator or Wankan Tanka (hope I spelled it right) created us all to be siblings, brothers. I believe that He made us mix to protect us as well, to keep the peaceful bloodline going, and to be sure we still had the influence for peace. This is what I believe, and I'm less than 1/16 Choctaw, from the Mississippi Nation, which didn't budge from Jackson's messed up law, and stayed. I'm proud of that! :) Thank you brother for loving us as Earthlings, Human Beings, and God's Children!

Totally Badass!!!!!...liked!

Man...this gave me goosebumps! It makes me sad that I don't know much of anything about my people other than slavery. Listening to this makes me want to dig deeper into my African ancestry and get in touch with my roots. Hip hop and fried chicken is NOT my true culture. So I have people like this who still practice the ways of their ancestors to help me in my journey back home to the ways of mine. I thank you uploading this!

ignore the last comment i posted. people shouldn't talk like that about the back up singers they are one of the main singers and they are very important to our native culture :) great singing penny and loves Kyle lead :)

this is my heritage, and I am proud.

Now I wish I was a Native American so that I could sing these amazing songs.

Son of a bitch- I'm a girl and even I can't get some of the high notes these guys are hitting. I am so jealous!

Holy shit this is absolutely terrifying. I have chills down my spine.

i like how when kyle does his leads his head moves real deadly lmao

holy shit this gets your adrenaline running hard as fuck.

This is amazing. I can't describe how amazing it is. I'm blown away, to say the least.

sagaway saga saka waht tat pimeso "It Hurts, It Hurts Dancing"

i Love My People But do Not Understand why some Challenge others of OUR culture for not beinq a full Blood,In my Young eyes;A Native is no lesser a person b/c of their Percentage in Blood.We all got Heart.Show kindeness to those less knowledgeable teach them our ways,Then i believe our Culture will forever survive thru these times.Regardless Our People are Our People(; Native Pride!!Ya heard!!

On our last visit to Toronto from the UK we had the opportunity to go to a pow wow held in what was then the Sky Dome. Watching and listening to this brought back wonderful memories we have of understanding the meaning of dance, costume and the music which we found haunting and emotional. Thanks for the experience.

Now thats power when the drummers have to cover their ears.

Fuuuuk!!!!!!!!!! Dope, Been listening to you guys for while!!! GREAT SONG!!!!!

@keikko17 The singers hold their ears so they can hear themselves. Often if you sit next to a loud singer, or the group singing can make it hard for one to blend in the song, so they hold their ear to keep in tune, its just easier to do if you can hear yourself.

HEEECHAA sing it loud and proud #1 NOTHERN CREE

Northern Cree at it finest

@ZaKkRaDiCaL123 I am white and feel like kicking whitey around the block after hearing that. No really that was beautiful and awe inspiring. I wish I could learn more. The song gives me chills thinking about hearing it first hand in an earlier time.

howay howah sahkahway sahkahway tah hugaway humawata nimito enimiyayo

Watching this makes me wish i grew up in a community where people would even consider coming together to perform or sing. Normal white suburban america is the blackhole of culture. Good song! lol i like that lady singing on with them in the back!
