DANCE SONGS
Red Shadow Singers The songs on this CD are spiritual songs. They were recorded at The Turtle Lodge, a place led by Indigenous people where young people of all cultures can come to learn, heal and reconnect to the land. The Turtle Lodge is offering these songs so they may be used for ceremonial purposes. These songs are healing prayer songs, which have been received from The Turtle Lodge through fasting and ceremony. The Mi¡¯kmaq Honour Song is being shared by Mi' kmaq Elders from Eastern Canada. The Thunderbird Eagle Song is being shared by Roy Napish from Eagle Lake First Nation, Ontario. The songs are being shared so they may be used in a most sacred and spiritual way for healing, prayer, in sweat lodges, or in other ways that respect the sacredness of the songs. They are not meant to be used for competitive purposes. This compilation of sacred songs is done in honour of and respect for our ancestors, and to remember our way of life as Indigenous people. It is by keeping a strong connection to the past, represented by the ancestors, that we keep our spirit strong. In
our prophecies we were foretold that we would enter a time when the
Earth would undergo significant changes. It would be at this time that
the spirit of the ancestors would be lowered to guide and teach the
people how to survive these changes. Essentially the ancestors are helping
awaken the spirit of each of us to the truth of our human Red
