Ke Sakihitin Awasis
A lullaby and a love song for Native America.

Title is in the Cree language and it means “I love you, Baby.” I dedicate it to all the generations of Indigenous people who keep Native America alive in our hearts, in our cultures, and in our actions towards our most sacred mother, Nature.

Ke Sakihitin Awasis
© Words & Music Buffy Sainte-Marie

He’s not like a stranger he’s more like a vision you’d seen
The kind of a face that you’d see on the edge of a dream
he was beaded and feathered from his head to his moccasined feet
and now you’re singing

Ke sakihetin awasis

He reminds you of a legend that you had known as a child
He knew it too it was about Earth and about Sun and about Sky
Oh it was about Wolf and Coyote and Eagle and Kitchimanitou**
and Wakontanka***

Ke sakihetin awasis

On some reservation your purification’s begun
It’s the fifth generation the young and the old are as one
Singing come back to the Sweetgrass
come back to the Pipe and the Drum
and be your future.

Ke sakihetin awasis
*Ke sakihitin awasis means I love you Baby in Cree.
**Kitchimanitou means Great Spirit in Cree
***Wakontanka means Great Spirit in Lakota
