About Elisapie
Her grandfather once said... “In order not to get lost, we must always look to where we came from.” At the outset of her visit to Onion Lake First Nation, Elisapie finds a piece of home in the prairie skies of Saskatchewan. A welcoming community stirs an inspired tribute song and in the words of one Onion Lake resident, “She has an Earth Angel voice.”.

Prairie Skies
All the way to the prairie's I've come No longer dreaming of Neil Young Nunalu ulapirsanalirsuni Sunami Kinguumanartuqarani
It's been so long I've seen such skies And they make my dreams shine bright go high Anirrasimajuujaalirama Saimanirsaulirmigama
When you showed me your healing dance You showed me your colors and your pride Taanisiqataurumalirama Sinnatuumajuujaalirmigama
It's been so long I've seen such skies And they make my dreams shine bright go high Anirrasimajuujaalirama Saimanirsaulirmigama
