Transcription

Pelache Mark - It's legs are still frozen...
Narrator - The caribou is the Innu's ultimate source of sustenance, supplying all the necessities for life in the bush. As the hunters so aptly put it: "There's no caribou without caribou." Consequently, without "caribou", there can be no snowshoes for the hunter, who therefore, is unable to get around in winter, which leaves him exposed to famine and death.
Phillipe McKenzie - (Lyrics to the song Promenade)
When I walk alone
I reflect on my memories
I observe the path
I'm about to take
The sun is shining
I feel good
I live again
Hey hey hey, I live again
When I walk on the beach
I recall my childhood memories
In the place where my friends and I were together
I thank the creator for giving life
Hey hey hey, life
When I walk alone
I hear the birds sing
The wind murmurs words in my ear
I look around me
I walk
And I continue on my path
Hey hey hey, my path
