Spur & Grit - Ka wa tha

Ka‑wa‑tha is a gentle, reverent, modern‑folk ballad that honours the Michi Saagiig people and the deep history carried in the waterways, shorelines, and land now known as the Kawarthas. It’s a song about memory, movement, and the quiet truth that the land remembers everything.

ABOUT THE SONG

Ka‑wa‑tha reflects on a time long before cottages, highways, and weekend escapes — a time when the Michi Saagiig moved across these lakes with purpose, knowledge, and connection. The song follows their paddles at sunrise, their understanding of every shoreline, and the way the land shaped their lives long before maps or motors existed.

It is a tribute to the first people who knew this region not as a destination, but as home.
