about love you give

 

Love You Give is a dynamic hip hop music video developed by and for Inuit, Métis and First Nation youth to prevent violence and promote healthy equal relationships. Hip hop music is often seen more as a contributor to youth violence than as a solution. But when fused with traditional Inuit, Métis and First Nation teachings and inspired by the hopes and fears of Aboriginal youth looking for ways to avoid getting caught up in the cycle of violence, the results are pure magic.

Love You Give brings together the talents of award-winning hip hop artists Lakota Jonez and Big Dro with the Minwaashin Lodge dance troupe. Informed by the voices of a hundred 7- to 19 year-olds, choreographed by Culture Shock Canada, filmed at the Museum of Civilization, and produced by Canterbury High School students under the supervision of teacher Steve Willcock and local production company, Reel Concepts, Love You Give is as emotionally moving as it is physically engaging.
