Honor Song of the Mi'kmaq (Sing-along)
Quick Note: The "ħ" character is what I've come to use to represent the phlegm/guttural sound that the "q" makes in the Mi'kmaw language.
This drumming song, commonly called "The Honor Song", has become a very powerful song for the Mi'kmaq. Originally composed by Elder Katherine Sorbey, it was gifted to George Paul who then gifted it with Mi'kma'ki. In my personal experience, this song has been rather challenging to learn to sing properly.
Thanks to a language camp which I was blessed to take part in, I was able to identify correct spelling, pronunciation, and meaning for this important piece. Keep in mind that as with any language and any piece of music that dialect and artistic license can cause a great deal of variation. This video is not intended to be the rule, just a learning tool that I've put the effort into making as accurate and true as possible.
With that said, corrections and criticisms are welcome.
"This is a song that came to me while I was fasting for my people. The message in this song is for all people to work together and help each other the way our creator would want us to be as human beings here upon Mother Earth, and as children of our creator we must always have respect for each other. So join hands and honor the life you have with dignity because you are a part of the creators work. Show the world that love and forgiveness can bring about world peace."
~ George Paul
