By Gregory Adams, December 2014; Huffington Post An article on Native North America 1: Aboriginal Folk Rock. The article tells the stories of several musicians involved with the project, a collection of music from First Nations, Inuit and Metis artists.
December 2014; CBC News An article that overviews Native North America 1: Aboriginal Folk Rock and the artists behind the project. From the article, "A new two CD collection called Native North America Vol. 1 is drawing a lot of attention to the obscure recordings of indigenous artists from the 60s, 70s, and 80s, from across Canada and the northern United States."
From the website: Singer Jeremy Dutcher's voice is an instrument that's reaching across a century of Indigenous history. The 27-year-old operatic tenor's debut album marks an exercise in duality, as the trained musician combines his interest in classical and electronic music with a stunning array of archival recordings he found in a dusty Quebec archive. "Wolastoqiyik Lintuwakonawa" is an ambitious 11-track project that weaves the past and present together in hopes of drawing attention to the fading Wolastoq language. It's spoken in the Tobique First Nation, one of six Wolastoqiyik reserves in New Brunswick where Dutcher spent much of his youth.
