Here is another song from Russell Wallace. This is the Lil’wat Salmon Song. The words are in the Lil’wat language and there are 4 verses. We will sing this one at our spring concert, so share this with your family too! Thank you to Div 12 an 13 for making this recording 🙂

Way hee yo ho
Way hee yo ho
Way hee yo ho wey
Way hee yo yo zumac (salmon)
Way hee yo ho wey

2. zahoum (dip netting)
3. weekum (cutting fish)
4. eeklhen (eating)

This song is written by Sherryl Sewepagaham who is from the Little Red River Cree Nation in northern Alberta.  We will all sing it for our spring concert in May. You can sing it just for yourself or teach it to your whole family.  Click here and enjoy!
