Its subject matter is a romanticized vision of nature and the land from the perspective of an Indigenous person, but it remains popular with the non-indigenous majority in Canada. Bonnie Dobson sang this song on her 1972 self-titled album. This song appears in the Paul Gross film "Men with Brooms" (2002). In 2005, the song was partly re-written by Canadian folk singer Dickson Reid and released on his debut album, "Sugar in the Snow". It's also a popular song sung in many elementary schools.
