My name’s D… L…, I’m from Canada,
the Plains Cree Tribe.
I talk through the Cree Nation, that’s my reservation.
I was invited here from my buddy, Barbara Dulk.
He was asking different tribes to come and
perform their style of dancing.
I am here representing the Cree Tribe from Canada.
My first time across the ocean, first time on a plane,
I really enjoy France.
I hope, I hope by being here I can now show
the way I’ve been taught,
the way of my ancestors
and I hope that by doing that people can learn ,
they can know [repeated twice]
We are not the Indians you see
on movies and Hollywood,
We are real, you know,
we are still around (smile)
Many thanks to Dany who kindly accepted to be recorded
and to Ornans Pow Wow 2010, Association Four Winds !
