lyrics

X̱ants ‘láas, ḵaldangáa
Amazing Grace

Tlíi gyúujgad ‘láa
How sweet the sound

DaG̱áang nang kagándgan
That saved someone like me

Díi uu gaawgáagan
I once was lost

Wáayaad díi ḵiiyaa
Now I’m found

Díi x̱ang-ḵagaa
I was bind

Wáayaad gin hl ḵingang.
But Now I see.

about

Sondra Segundo Seattle, Washington

“My hope is that my artistic endeavors amplify the love, wisdom and faith of my Haida people and ancestors.

Our endangered, NW Coast Indigenous language survived because our elders couldn't stop singing in íitl' kwíiaas kil (our precious language)...and I sing because my elders told me to."

​Sondra Segundo is an educator, published author, artist and composer/singer of the Haida language.
