about

"Canoe" is my tribute to those whose land we stand on. The indigenous people of Canada have suffered oppression, abuse, isolation, cultural eradication, and destruction of their natural environment. It is time we give them truth and reconciliation, honor them, protect their lands and peoples, let them return safely to their homes. Home is family, home is tradition, home is water, home is land.

lyrics

The full moon burns into the night
I hear a melancholy ode
The loon's adrift and out of sight
I paddle far, I paddle bold.
I'm home at last where the spirit calls my name
I'm home at last in the sundance in the rain, in the rain

Dream catchers heal into the fire
My sweat invigorates my soul
My vision's strong, ancestors cry
To summon justice to behold
I'm home at last where the northern lights appear
I'm home at last where the lightning kills the fear, kills the fear

The moose devours the forest deep
The black bear terrifies the meek
The rivers dance, the mountains speak
Oblivious of the world asleep
I'm home at last where the cedars kiss the sky
I'm home at last where the grey wolves hunt and cry, hunt and cry
