Re: Innu EverybodyKnows

Wow again! Is it Chloe Sainte-Marie who is in the video about the white wolf - the visual joke at the end is they see the skyline of Montreal through the trees, so it was filmed on Mt. Royal, not in the deep forest. There are two guys in it and one woman in it - called Miam Miam or something in Innu...

Re: Innu EverybodyKnows

Oh wow! Oh wow! That is just fantastic and wonderful. It is an anthem of strength and pride among the 9 or 10,000 people who understand that particular Innu language. My wife and I lived among them when some were still semi-nomadic, and few spoke English or French. I fall off my chair to find out th...

Re: Innu EverybodyKnows

Yes, you are right - there must be many thousands. It would be a big project. And I see a lot on You Tube where it's every teenager trying to be Charlie Manson. And there are tens of thousands of videos of people's pets. Cats. Dogs. Budgies. It's information over-load and a lot of it is crap. But th...

It is after they are born, and, for example, you see the mother with her child, or the children playing on the beach, and you say, behold the children who asked to be born. You don't have to take it as anything more than a compliment to the mother, if you don't want to get all mystical about it. But...

I know a French-Canadian couple who made it part of their wedding many years ago, in a small town far from the big city. The bride loved the song; the groom, and most of the audience, spoke little English, and had never heard the song before, and had never heard of Leonard Cohen. It was basically a ...

He will be one of the great prophets, Biblical and universal, in line with Isaiah, but much more loved. He will be a constant influence in many people's lives, especially lovers. Many will assert the Majesty of Creation. Beauty will stand against Evil. Give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy...
