The Ottawa act Silla and Rise dropped the music video for Nutarannut (For the Children) featuring Tanya Tagaq.
The track is taken from their 2021 album Silarjuaq via Balanced Records.
A powerful and artful music video that has a message.
About the track:
As mothers we hold all children, not just our own.
We nurture our children and Mother Nature nurtures us in return.
We are meant to love and care for the children in this world; to respect and to honour them.
To abuse and neglect them, sending them back to Mother Earth in mass graves is an atrocity; a callous act of genocide, and one that was practiced systemically in Residential Schools by the Catholic Church with the cooperation of the Government of Canada.
Instead of giving space to these serial abusers, we sing to the spirits of the children in remembrance and with love. The song features an excerpt of Charlotte Carleton’s daughter saying “Anaana aakuluk” (Mom I love you) – the Church abducted Indigenous children from their parents at her age. As you listen, take a moment to remember the children who were lost and cherish them.”
