Mary-Lou Smoke and her partner Dan Smoke have taught thousands the Water Song.

"I often teach people The Water Song. Last year, we were on our way to Toronto on World Water Day and a teacher contacted us with something she wanted us to hear. We pulled up our computer on the train, and 350 elementary students had all gathered to sing The Water Song. It was awesome. I know my work is kind of behind the scenes and low-key, but it’s getting results.”

    My children learned this song in kindergarten in Ojibwe class here in Sudbury. It will forever be imprinted in our hearts with every beat!
  • Kentucky girl here. My Grandparents gave me the same 1 mouth, 2 ears wisdom also. "Modern" society has lost that. Thanks for speaking Truth

    Thank you so much❤❤❤I love the water song. 2 years ago I found it on youtube. I use it a lot. Blessings and love from Austria.
  • My elders taught me that women are not supposed to hit the drum. This is because the drum represents Mother Earth. The beating of it, is the heartbeat of earth. Like a child hears in the womb. Women have their own womb and are mothers. That’s why they don’t hit the drum.
