"We're all out here trying to act like individuals [but] there is something about the individual that takes everything away from the community. We have to be aware of that." — Kris Harper
Meet Kris Harper of nêhiyawak, the excellent Polaris Prize-shortlisted band from amiscwaciy (Edmonton, Alberta). Kris talks about how the Idle No More Movement, which began in Saskatchewan in 2012, shook up his understanding of how music, made intentionally, can be transformative, why he believes that more people should identify as Indigenous, and the importance of self-determination in music-making.

Additional tunes: "ôtênaw" and "open window" by nêhiyawak
