We’re creating this music in the spirit of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s 94 calls to action, and final report that asks for Indigenous and non-Indigenous people to work together as an opportunity to show a path forward.

We know that as a society we can’t move ahead without acknowledging and reflecting on the past. Before reconciliation can occur, the full truth of the Indigenous experience in this country needs to be told, so we’ve been calling on Indigenous artists to share with us their stories, their experience, and their lives, so we settler Canadians can continue our learning about the history of residential schools, of genocide, and of intergenerational impacts of colonization.

"The very fact that you're doing this tells me that you believe in the validity of our language, you believe in the validity of our art and our music and that you want to help to bring it out. And that's really what's important, is for people to have faith that we can do this... That's really good”
- Honourable Murray Sinclair - Ojibwe Elder - former chair of the Truth & Reconciliation Commission  

Many thanks for the support of non-Indigenous funding streams of the Ontario Arts Council and Canada Council for the Arts for their support of this project.
