October 7, 2026

"Composer, singer, and #ethnomusicologist Jeremy Dutcher ( #Wolastoqiyik ) is taking his music on an international tour that includes performing in Taiwan and Japan with renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma.

Dutcher’s music continues to draws fans around the world following the release of two acclaimed albums in his Native language, featuring his distinctive tenor voice. His latest album ' #Motewolonuwok ' won the Polaris Music Prize.

Tune in to catch up with him about his latest projects, including the soundtrack to the film 'Sk+te’kmujue’katik' ( #ThePlaceOfGhosts ), a #Mikmaq supernatural thriller that premiered at the #TorontoInternationalFilmFestival .

'Automatic' is the upcoming second solo album from musician Mali Obomsawin ( #OdanakFirstNation).

Obomsawin pushes her avant-garde jazz and experimental sound further than she did on her debut album, 'Sweet Tooth.' The new album is bold, explosive, colorful, and ambient with a haunting closing track.

Tune into Native America Calling to discuss the new album as well as her work with the #JuliaKeefeIndigenousBigBand, her rock - #shoegaze band #Deerlady, and her attempt to 'make a record institutions can’t own.' "

#NiweskokCollective Advances #FoodSovereignty and Obtains Land

"#Niweskok (From the Stars to Seeds) is a nonprofit collaboration of #Wabanaki farmers, health professionals, and educators working to revitalize food systems for tribes in northeast #Wabanakik (#Maine). The collection is responsible for reclaiming traditional foods & healing for their communities, their peoples of the #WabanakiConfederacy (#Penobscot, #Wolastoqiyik, #Mikmaq, #Passamaquoddy, #Abenaki), by practicing and promoting traditional crop cultivation, land-based education, and fisheries revitalization.

"From Tribal Business News’ article Wabanaki food sovereignty group secures no-strings land deal by Chez Oxendine, Niweskok has secured 245 acres of a piece of land called the #GooseRiverFarm in Wabanakik through innovative methods. This effort is an example of #Indigenous Sovereignty and self-determination through unconventional means. For the first time, Niweskok will have a permanent base for its programs after years of operating on borrowed and leased lands, according to co-director Alivia Moore to Tribal Business News.

Partners and Funding

"A coalition of 12 organizations and several private donors, including the #MaineFarmlandTrust and the #CoastalMountainsLandTrust, helped secure the land for Niweskok without easements, giving the Wabanaki nonprofit sovereignty over the property. Easements frequently accompany land returns or transfers which are often well-meaning. However, they can create barriers to Indigenous sovereignty and land management by preventing practices such as prescribed burning and fishing or zoning preventing buildings or infrastructure. Without restriction, Niwekok can continue to practice self-determination and food sovereignty, preserve the culture and traditions of the Wabanaki Confederation, and create a strong community."
