kimƛkimƛa ~ "Victory Song"

In 1976 Cecil Mack T̓ayii ḥawił of The Toqʷatḥ Nation Gave this Song to the ḥawiiḥ, čačamate and musčim "Chiefs, Dignitaries and People" If you are First Nations of B.C. and have settled what was called "The Land Question" through Treaty This is Our Song, A victory song sing it loud sing it proud! Songs are the most cherished of gifts to us Nuučanuł Peoples let it not be forgotten.

I Wish-key was there in Kamloops B.C 1976 when this song was given i remember en route Dad Driving, Grandpa Dave In the front Cecil and Jessie sitting in back with me and he (Cecil) was trying to Teach me the Nuučanuł word: muusmuus "Cow" I said that's not a muusmuus grandpa it is a cow, i was often teased of that growing up, I now cherish those memories. I was blessed to have Grand Chief Cecil Mack as one of my teachers in Life. My grandfather Dave Haipee and Cecil Mack  were half brothers I remember him well and i now have Grand Chief tiic̓qiisap Bert Mack and t̓ayiiʔas wiisac̓quum Anne Mack as teachers now the family line is strong we Maanułʔatḥ (Maa-nulth Peoples) can proudly sing this song for we have settled the land Question!
