Sacred

I came to adulthood in Iñuit Nunaat (the Iñuit Nation) and also Costa Rica. Here I sing the Pledge of Allegiance to the U.S. in Iñupiatun, because it was basically the only full sentence of Iñupiatun that I picked up from the local school system in Utqiaġvik, Alaska, although I also studied French and Spanish in school... THANKFULLY OUR KIDS ARE LEARNING MUCH MORE NOW!!!!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 

Note: This was created years ago ~2007, and I have some issues with it. 
1.) I say "Esquimal" in a French verse. (Esquimal is Spanish for "Eskimo." I should have said "Esquimaux" or even better Iñupiat, which no one anywhere finds derogatory which is not the same, I now realize, for Eskimo **here in Northern AK I know a lot of people that do not mind the term, but it is different depending on which house you are in and especially from what I have seen from other parts of Inuit country where systemic racism and failed genocide have existed.** 

2. I cannot clearly hear or understand one part of the French and some other parts, and I can clearly hear some funny parts in my pronunciations and tune. 

Ha! Sharing anyway.
Singers: me, Abby Fuller aka AbRa Fever, Abby's ex-bf who I forget his name...
Ukulele: Monte Ortega Stern

Enjoy. =)
