Qu'appelle Valley Saskatchewan by Buffy Sainte-Marie. From her album Sweet America (1976). One of my favorite songs ever! The pics are from all over the internet.
As a child of the Qu'Appelle Valley this song always bring me home no matter where I am.

PUFF the magic Dragon I wish I had never read your comment! It ruins a perfectly nice thread. No one should sit around nursing old wounds. This song is about love and going home. Not about social justice. Your comment is a downer. We all need to move forward and choose happiness and love and kindness. Not bring others down! I hope you can move on from whatever ails your spirit as I wish goodness and healing for you. By the way Buffy’s version of Helpless is the best I ever heard. It also makes me cry.

It is the first song I heard by Buffy Sainte-Marie in which she included her Native American Indian sound in her music. It is BRILLIANT. I was so glad that this would be used frequently in her following recordings.

This is such a beautiful song! I originally knew a cover version by a British New Wave/Synth Pop group called Red Box, but only recently got round to listening to the original version by Buffy Sainte-Marie. It's very rare for a song to make me teary these days, but this one definitely did. I didn't know until I listened to this song that she is an Indigenous Canadian.
