THE OMINECA COUNTRY

Some of the lyrics to this song are in our history book

A SONG OF THE OMINECA

In the northwest corner of my heart
There’s a place where it yearns and aches
For the Omineca Country
For the rivers and the lakes

From the Babine to the Fraser
Through the gently hilled terrain
When the wild geese fly in the autumn sky
Then I’ll be home again

My love lives on the Stella
Where it flows so crystal clear
From a lake so pure you can be sure
That Heaven must be near

It’s the home of the Carrier Nation
Who wait for the sockeye run
My love and I will smoke and dry
The salmon when they come.
D. Ray 1971
