Salix - Hamatsa (The Endless Hunger)
Salix
The gnashing of teeth and ravenous beaks My spirit reprieved, from flesh released Hamatsa Deep within the woods, I found a house From whose roof billowed red smoke As I approached I heard a voice call out "You must bury him with stones" He who upon man first feasted at the mouth of the river Great cannibal at the north end of the world Magician of death, covered in one million mouths Gnashing at the hearts of all men Red cedar covers my flesh Searching for flesh Searching for skulls Searching for corpses I must feast
5:53

Winter Ceremonial is an homage to the stories of the Kwakwakaʼwakw.
