I was exploring youtube last night and came across a couple of things to share. The first is "Song of Survival" by Red Eagle. I didn't love his style of music, but the lyrics were pretty awesome. On the related video links I found Woodkid's song "Run Boy Run". He is a French cinematographer and musician. His videos are all beautiful and odd. He is apparently a neo-folk artist which is a movement to reclaim local beliefs. This was pretty obvious from the creatures in this video who are pagan wood spirits. Before I began to accept my Métis heritage I had been doing lots of research on the pre-Christianized traditions of my European ancestors. Some of the parallels between those cultures and indigenous culture are very interesting.
