I am from Greenland and I want to say one thing... Kashtin was really big in Greenland in the early 90's. This song is from my childhood. Thanks for posting this. It is a classic.
All of us All of us Let us look at our way of life Our children Our grandfathers All of us All of us Let us look at our way of life Our rivers Our lands This is our reason
The language is INNU, not French. Special, rare part of the world--and they sing to represent and preserve the culture of their people. Haunting, beautiful, memorable!
I remember this song from when I was very young, and we lived in northern Quebec. Kashtin was my favorite band. I have not heard this song in 20 years. So now I'm crying.
This song is on the verge of making me cry. It's painting a really clear picture of my childhood. Pure Nostalgia. My parents would play this song and I remember it. I can see my childhood house, my dad outside working on his cars, my mom cooking, and my brother playing with his Legos.
Very nice ! As a busker in Québec, I am often expected to sing in french. But someone said yesterday that I should sing first nations languages. That's why I went back to this song this morning although I don't know what all the words mean, I think it's about childhood as you mention. Thanks ! Adam
My parents made a mix-tape of Kashtin when I was a baby. There's an old picture of me staring up at the camera with a bottle in hand. I was listening to the walkman full of Kashtin as I was being a baby. This song is specifically the one I hear the moment I think of Kashtin. I got to see them live with my Mom when they came to my city.
What?! That is freakin' awesome! I love that your parents loved Kashtin that much they'd name you after them. I love their music. This ones my all time favorite.
I'm not of aboriginal descent, but this band is special to me. Great musicality, vocal harmonies and flow. I wish I knew the language but it doesn't stop me from loving this band.
I agree, I'm French Canadian with no aboriginal background but my father introduced me to this as a young child and I went to sleep to this. Love their sound!
lol im aboriginal decent and i got no idea what hes singing. well i got an idea. his dialect almost sounds like ours but its different you know? i talked to them and had no idea wtf they said lol
Hey Todd, I’m from tobique reservation. I remember when we met. “It is an honor to meet a grandson whose grandmother is a clan mother” that’s what you told me so long ago and I still remember man.
I have tears in my eyes !!! Sweet souvenirs with Kashtin in the 90s !! I'm Algerian and it was my father who brought a K7 when one time he came back home. For long time; me, my sister and my little brother had been listening, singing and learning by heart the lyrics without knowing the meaning of a single word loll , BUT their music has got such a strong feeling !!!! Big up Kashtin from Constantine, Algeria .
J'ai découvert ce groupe par Télérama, au rayon des musiques du monde et je suis tombé sous le charme de Kashtin que je me suis empressé de faire connaître à mes amis de Loire-Atlantique! que de beaux souvenirs , MERCI Kashtin!
I listened to this as a child with my mom. I remember sitting in my fuzzy blue chair talking about names for my sister. We ended up naming her Whitney. I still come back to this tune. Love it!! Still listening in 2022.
Moi non, quand j'étais jeune je n'étais pas ici, mais depuis 5 ans c'est mon groupe prefèré ici au Canada et Québec.Tshinanu "What we are" Merci beaucoup d'avoir partager.
So proud of KASHTIN! Your music I found on MTV,when you rocked up at Whistler,B.C. I bought your music,& after work come home to chill to your awesome music. I love you guys & your music Thank you for sharing the great artist's that you are! Bless You!
J'écoutais cette chanson quand j'étais petite, ma mère ma donner leur casette car je lui ai demander. QUand j'étais petite je chantais cette chanson! Merci pour cette chanson exceptionnel et unique. Je l'aime beaucoup
Kashtin est un groupe légendaire! Leur album le plus populaire est remplis de chansons entrainantes et de ballades possédants une signature particulière; un chef-d'oeuvre que beaucoup on fini par oublier. Je possède une vieille cassette et je ne me lasserai jamais de l'écouter! Beaucoup de musique ont été créé depuis...mais personne pour les remplacer, ni même les talonner. Il demeurent unique !! Leur chanson me rendent nostalgique; ils me manque !!
woww prend en bien soin de ta cassette 4 tracks ou 8 tracks lol .. bon ok je sais tu n est pas assez vieille pour avoir connu les 8 tracks lol moi oui ..snif ok je sort bye bye
Malheureusement boycotté à cause de la crise d' Oka ! Bon nombre au Canada y sont passé , pourtant y' a du talent musical parmi les autochtones !Pu un passe à la radio!
I was born in Greenland, have lived here in Denmark since 97',my brother who's older than me, put this on on new year's eve, and I instantly went: "omg I know THIS , why do I know this, what is this??" .. and he said "you really remember this music? You were so little.." .. This song is .. it touches my Inuit heart. I wish I could sing in your language 💚.
I was born on an Indian Reserve in Northern Manitoba. I'm Aboriginal woman, and my second language is Ojibwah/Saulteax. I don't even understand what these are singing about. But still I love their songs anyway.
+Robert Bronfman I had a feeling they sang in French, and not in any Native tongue. Because these are French songs. But I still think they sound cool. I, myself am also a First Nations woman, but I speak Ojibwah and Saulteaux. I also live in Vancouver, BC. I've passed through Montreal and Quebec a couple of times, and I could not even understand any of those Natives when they spoke because they were speaking French. I believe the Indian Residential Schools forced their parents to speak English and French. So they passed those languages down to the younger generations. Cool...
Yes. I've learned about Tom Longboat. His true gift from God was to run such long distances. Tom truly amazed me. Yes, I also heard about those Museums they have back in Eastern Canada. Many other races don't really understand why our people are so messed up. You know, because of all the domestic violence, child-abuse, alcoholism, street-drugs, nicotine, and etc. Because we can't help what we've been through, you know the way our parents raised us. Our parents couldn't even help that either. Come to think about it- any one can go through all that, not just First Nations. But at least our culture has been coming back. So we can teach our children the truth about themselves. It's very difficult, although its based on the true facts of life. I learned about all that nasty stuff what those little Indian school children had to endure back in those days. Abuse and genocide. I learned most of it from the Indian Residential Schools at an Aboriginal College in Winnipeg, before I moved to BC. I also experienced what my parents went through, because I felt like I went to school there too.
My first favorite band EVER. My first concert when I was 5 or 6 in Meadow Lake.I'm 24 now and this song still sounds as good now as it did way back then. Better than anything else I've ever heard, ever.
it had something to do with the 90's problems with the native american, radio boycutt them because some don't do the difference between inuits and the native american that were part of the problem instead of them.
Good strong name... i had the privilege of meeting these guys when i was a young performer. They are very humble and extremely nice guys. you were given a good name and thumbs up to your parents, and rock on
J'ai vecu 5 ans en France. Lorsque je devais passer chez nous au Quebec, j'achetais des CD de kastin avant de reprendre l'avion pour ensuite les offrir a mes amis Francais.
Very talented musicians. Hoping they will create more of these songs in the near future. Until then, I will continue to enjoy the ones they made. Memories of where I was and when I first heard Kashtin I won't soon forget.
In memory of a long time friend . We've play and sang a lot of good kashtin song in the 80s , 90s in Northern Saskatchewan . R.I.P. My good old friend H.S.

Awesome thanks for sharing this beautiful song brings back memories of high school dances with all the hotties from the Rez up here in NBC Canada country areas of dog rib creek BC Canada country areas of where the beaver's and muscats play all night long
It’s been years since I’ve heard this song, I was just a young kid when I heard this song when I was maybe 6-7? I’m 31 now. Great song, gives you a great feeling.

The language is INNU, not French. Special, rare part of the world--and they sing to represent and preserve the culture of their people. Haunting, beautiful, memorable!
There's another language that's called "Atikamekw", which is alot similar to Innu. (ex: Atikamekw: kwei. Innu: kuei)

I love this song! Can't get it out of my head. My parents named me after this band. I never knew why until I started listening to them. Love it!
KASHTIN means tornado
What?! That is freakin' awesome! I love that your parents loved Kashtin that much they'd name you after them. I love their music. This ones my all time favorite.
Consider yourself lucky to be named after this band. They will always be in our heart and so you will. ;-)

Kashtin's music has power. It speaks to you on another level even if you don't understand the language. Love it. James in Ottawa.
The most commercially successful Native band ever in first nation history.

I saw this Innu group in Toronto about 20 years ago..they were wonderful.
I was born in Greenland, have lived here in Denmark since 97',my brother who's older than me, put this on on new year's eve, and I instantly went: "omg I know THIS , why do I know this, what is this??" .. and he said "you really remember this music?

+World Universal it's not french songs, The name Kashtin means "tornado" in the Innu-aimun language, so I'm guessing that is the language of the songs
just checked and yes they are Innu
I come Baffin Island in Iqaluit, Nunavut, and we all have listened and loved it so much.
My first favorite band EVER. My first concert when I was 5 or 6 in Meadow Lake.I'm 24 now and this song still sounds as good now as it did way back then. Better than anything else I've ever heard, ever.
Love from Greenland! Remind me of my childhood❤😃
I recall when I listened to them as a child. Always enjoyed them

Listened to this gem growing up in the reserve. My dad played his music at his local pool hall, brings back a lot of memories🤙🏾🫡🎖90’s
I worked at his concert when I was 16 years old, and it was amazing.

Just love Kashtin, I wish they would come back together. All their songs have so much intensity. You cannot forget them.
I love khastin to. day my sons name khastin and he is 19 yr old that's the last time I seen khastin.
Very talented musicians. Hoping they will create more of these songs in the near future. Until then, I will continue to enjoy the ones they made. Memories of where I was and when I first heard Kashtin I won't soon forget.
I love these guys already! I had a great great grandmother whom was a Montagnais member.
Kashtin still rocks:) I'm a proud native
OMG its about time!!!!! been looking for this band love their music

Forever one of my favorite bands of all time!!! I never get tired of listening.
I still live this group..I have their CD and a treasured tape..
I'm a Mushkegowuk Cree from the west coast of James Bay I understand some of the words they sing!!!! Awesome music they're geniuses!
What a beautiful song. Touching the soul and God......
LOVED this group - so happy to remember their name and hear them again!
Wow, I finally found the songs I've been looking for for so long. Nice to hear these songs again.
reminds me a lot of my childhood. Hearing this at grandpas house. Oh how time flies
I love the blues aspect to this song. The blues really transcends colour, race, language, culture.
wow...still gets to me...Vive Kashtin
J'ai une guitare et je chante toujours leurs chanson suis anishnabe du kanata
merrci tu apporte un calme a ma vie parfois chaotique
The bird's wings (along with the neck and head) look fancy/refined and full of Life... and it goes hand in hand with the song.
Saw them live in Vancouver in the early 90s didn't understand a word but loved every minute.
I love it I haven't heard it for awhile Kashtin became popular in Greenland too 🇬🇱
Mine and my brother father played this on cassette for us on the way to school at Joseph Burr Tyrell. Good memory.
Love kashtin...and his group great music...keep on keeping on
Après tout ces années j'écoute toujours kashtin
Still listening to this in 2023, puts me back to early 90's my mama's
