Your music is beautiful 💜 I've just started writing a piece of classical music about Maine, and I would like to use this melody as part of my piece. I want to make sure I'm being respectful when setting this melody for concert band, and I want to ensure I'm crediting the right people for this tune. I'd love to get in contact with your group so we can talk about this in detail!
This kind of singing and drumming makes my hair stand on end; I can feel the drumbeat in my spine. I want to dance to it, but I don't know how. My great-great-great grandmother was Piankashaw, but that's the only Native American blood I have; I wish I could somehow connect with that part of me but I have no idea where to even begin...
Even here in the Land of Man, Kalaallit Nunaat there are some of us who listens to unedited and native drumsongs from American Indians. For me: Well..I have this stupid and strong phobia against wolves, so..this calms my little mind
@kreepykrawlie Wabnaki (Wapna'ki in Mi'kmaw) is not just maine, but all the nations who belonged to the Wapa'ki Confederacy. Which includes the Mi'kmaq of Atlantic Canada and Quebec, Maliseet of New Brunswick, Quebec, and Maine, the Abenaki of Quebec and North East USA, Passamaquoddy of Maine, and Penobscot of Maine.
I love this music so much! I'm not Native by blood (tho I do have a small amount of Native ancestry), but my adoptive father is, and this music stirs something deeply reverend and primal within me. I've started composing a piece of classical music about my home state of Maine, and I want to include this melody as part of the piece (specifically for the opening movement). Does anyone know who wrote this melody, because I'd like to credit them if possible. If this is an old traditional melody with no one author, I'd also like to know so that I can credit the melody as "Traditional Wabanaki"
@savagefam2009 no we are penobscot with some passamaquaddy freinds.. get it right! the passamaquaddy drum is huntley brook... Altough the drum we are drumming on comes from a passamaquaddy elder. You must know Bert hes the leader and dom also one of the leaders and then theres me! the song keeper! all penobscot
@rezryda207 hmmm. welli gathered it was a song made for Lenored Palltier... still unclear as of the origins but its not george's song... he made the mik'maq honor song
My grandmother is 5/8ths Passamaquoddy and Mikmaq and it makes me so sad that she knows nothing about her culture because she was taken from the reservation when she was young and taken to a boarding school. She can still speak the language though and she goes up to Maine almost every year to see family and go to festivals. I wish she would teach me Passamaquoddy, but she's only taught her grandchildren how to say bad words and phrases.
@kreepykrawlie i just foiund this again and i was talking to zacleblanc he said penobscot and theres more than just one drum group the 4 triebs in maine have different drum groups
@WollongongWacko no its not dont listen to him. im not sure where the song orriginated but its from my uncle who is penobscot too. But im pretty sure he made that song himself which makes it totaly penobscot
i am a Mi'k Maq and Penobscot my great grand father taught this song to me the origins of this song came from our Warriors coming back from the Spanish American war and World War 1
Can you please tell me the meaning of this song? I was looking for a freedom piece for my dance students regarding the freedom from the hands of enslavement. Would this be acceptable?
it is not the aim song the aim song come from the movement that formed in the late fifties the aim song is a victory song that was written before the arrest of Leonard Peltier
I Know, but as a Dj, i want to pay for my rights to use the music, i want to make sure these drummers get well paid for what they have done...and thankyou...

Oh for heaven's sake. I'm caucasian and I know this is the AIM song. Shouldn't be posted without that attribution. It is not Wabakanaki, although it might be a Wabanaki song. This song means a lot to a lot of people who walked with and in and in support of AIM for many long years...
this song is not from aim what you need to do is compare the 2 songs seriously lady i am a MI'KMAQ from New brunswick and my great grand father was taught this song from his grand father and was taught to me the aim song was written for the movement back in the late 50's early sixties not prior to the turn of the 20th century like this song

Look harder
This is one off my fav songs in the world
Wabanaki lives on even today!
Even here in the Land of Man, Kalaallit Nunaat there are some of us who listens to unedited and native drumsongs from American Indians. For me: Well..I have this stupid and strong phobia against wolves, so..this calms my little mind
My heritage is CHEROKEE but this music is very spiritual to me I love it
This was and still is my most favorite It's good that they keep the heritage alive
Awesome to hear my heritage. My grandmother and grandfather would be proud.

Sorry for my uninformed question, I didn't read all the comments.
Where are you located in Maine? How can you be reached?
Can you please tell me the meaning of this song? I was looking for a freedom piece for my dance students regarding the freedom from the hands of enslavement. Would this be acceptable?
@lindagallantgatta I got your guys heritage i am only 1\4 this comes from my father side
sorry, should read although it might be a Wabakanaki drum group. That is the AIM song all day long.
it is not the aim song the aim song come from the movement that formed in the late fifties the aim song is a victory song that was written before the arrest of Leonard Peltier
ok then this is one John Trudell used on one of his poetry soundtracks. And is very similar.
Are Wabanaki related to Abenaki? How?
The Abenaki is part of the Wabanaki, because four tribes united creating Wabanaki. one of the tribes are the Abenaki.
Abenaki is one of the Nations that make up the Wabanaki Confederation.
I Know, but as a Dj, i want to pay for my rights to use the music, i want to make sure these drummers get well paid for what they have done...and thankyou...

How do i get my hands on the music?
I wanna buy it!
It brings me back to another time of everyone stand by the river but the fire burning in the tent set up and just an easy life
this is not Penobscot Spirit of the dawn is a passamaquoddy drum group
Amy Wolf it is not the AIM song
+GamingChief so true
I thought this was the Micmac Honour song?

This song meant alot to Annie Mae Aquash Pictou - it came from her people. AIM leaders murdered her in the most brutal fashion.
@@kevinrees5855 you're so correct. Annie Mae Pictou didn't deserve what happened to her.
@@kenshitakahashi7377 th-cam.com/video/PDbQ92zmtHw/w-d-xo.html maybe Dennis Banks can convince you differently
i dont get this at all...not trying sound racsist.
