This is the information that came with the CD.
The song is performed by Kashtin, written by Florent Vollant. Kashtin are from
the Innu tribe in Northeast Quebec, and sing in their native tongue which is
spoken by only about ten thousand people. The words to the song mean:
Take care
Take care of your homeplace
Take care of your grandmother
Take care of yourself.

This was in the booklet that is inside the CD. Great soundtrack. Hope this
helps.
