According to Wayne’s fellow musician Trent Agecoutay, “the idea for the song is to honour and showcase the Cree language in the best way we knew how…thru music. Wayne T. Jackson is singing in Cree and did the translation, so we would love for you to have a listen! Please share with all your cuzzins 😎”
