Meet the N.S. teenager who sang Blackbird by The Beatles entirely in Mi'kmaq

"Our language is such a beautiful thing and not a lot of people hear it," says Emma Stevens of Eskasoni in Cape Breton.

“The teenage girl who recorded a cover of Blackbird by The Beatles entirely in Mi'kmaq says she hopes to one day release a full album in her people’s language.

“Those lyrics kind of make me feel more hopeful, more inspired to, like, learn my language more than I already know, and to show non-Mi'kmaq people the beauty of the song in our language,” Emma Stevens, 16, of Eskasoni, N.S., told As It Happens host Carol Off.

The cover was produced by the school’s music teacher Carter Chiasson using translated lyrics from Mi'kmaq language teacher Katani Julian and her father. 

There was plenty there to sink her teeth into, she said, noting that lyrics like “Take these broken wings and learn to fly” really resonate with Indigenous experiences in Canada.

“The song is just like the type of gentle advice that we get from our elders when we feel defeated and when we feel down,” she said.

While researching the song, she learned that it has frequently been associated with the U.S. civil rights movement.

“We have something in common with the civil rights movement because, to some extent, our people have been oppressed in this country, you know, by the Indian Act and, you know, by the federal government and, you know, the whole residential school thing and attempts at assimilation,” Julian said.”

I do not understand this “male privilege" bullshit.

What. Fucking. Privileges. Do. Men. Have.???????

Name them. I swear, I challenge you to name these “male privileges" and be able to prove them. 

Come on, I fucking dare you. 

Name them!

The same white people laughing at this are the ones who will get in your face for stepping on the US flag.
