Tyra Gill
our land is peaceful and quiet
we're strong and proud  
traditions are striving
but it's taken a while

Rena Simon
so much fear grew inside me
caused pain in my life 
I blamed my surroundings
now embrace what is right 

Riley Gill
caring, sharing, respect are the laws we teach
but fear tries to keep us lost and weak
so our traditional ways, helped us to live differently
we need to stay strong and break the negativity 
there's strength and power in the Northern Tutchone
I'm proud of our culture and the ways that it's shown me
to fight for our language and the home you sight see 
what they tried to take away, we hold tightly   


CHORUS
the beauty that we see
through Doòli Dän Ki
the way that we are 
we will live, walk and breathe
the future where we dream 
traditions run deep
our prayers are strong
Ihkets'idli
Ihkets'idli 
I will show you the best of me

Madison Gill
sometimes I feel alone
I find it hard to believe in myself
there's hope when I sing
I'll break this pain I once felt 

Shania Simon-Joe
when I was gone, I wasn't safe
and now I'm back where I belong
don't want to go away again
I finally feel strong 

Cassandra Johnny
connected to my family, we'll never be apart
there's beauty in the land and a feather in my heart
as the fire is burning, I whisper my love
in harmony with Dooli, traditions we trust

Tyra Gill
there's good in all people, but some like to hide it
toxic situations, so tiring
more opportunity is what I'm desiring
to show Nacho I'll be inspiring

CHORUS
the beauty that we see
through Doòli Dän Ki
the way that we are 
we will live, walk and breathe
the future where we dream 
traditions run deep
our prayers are strong
Ihkets'idli
Ihkets'idli 
I will show you the best of me

Mariah Grennan
through these young eyes
I see my culture is special 
as we become stronger
together, we'll get through

Makayla Grennan
our love and pride, 
let's our future be hopeful
in grieving times, 
our care we will show you

Tay-Lynn Mierau-Charlie
I'm trying to learn about myself, I've moved around many times
then I started living here, and I really like the vibe 
it's been hard getting by but the people that I met
they will share, they will care, they will teach, they respect 

Rena Simon
through the dark times, Doòli Dän Ki has helped us
the realest connection, believe me, I felt it
through sickness and death, our spirits won't break
our true elders have shown us the way


CHORUS
the beauty that we see
through Doòli Dän Ki
the way that we are 
we will live, walk and breathe
the future where we dream 
traditions run deep
our prayers are strong
Ihkets'idli
Ihkets'idli 
I will show you the best of me
