about

Deeper than dirt! The strong connection I have to the land.

lyrics

Ancestral place, motherland home,
Flesh of creation, skin of my bones
Breath of my lungs, heartbeat of my chest,
Water and blood of those long at rest

In a rush of the four winds, I hear you come near
Without hesitation you meet with me here
Through path-parting grasses you walk to my side
Open your arms, welcome your child

O land, land of my birth
Life-breathing land, life-giving worth
You run through my veins, help me to stand
O Land, land of my birth

In quiet communion where time has no hold
I lift you my offering, you nourish my soul
Seed of tomorrow, life blood from the past
Take in the four winds the gift of my thanks

O land, land of my birth
Life-breathing land, life-giving worth
You run through my veins, help me to stand
O Land, land of my birth

Kaki nokowi uski,
Kischi nokawi uski neki
Kakinow nechi inninewuk nekinan nitaskiminan
Ke pimatisihinan
Ninanan ki chiwasimisuk Manitou kahnaweyniminan
Nininaskomitinan Manitou

O land, land of my birth
Life-breathing land, life-giving worth
You run through my veins, help me to stand
O Land, land of my birth, O Land, land of my birth

Ancestral place, motherland home,
Flesh of creation, skin of my bones
