So excited for this! It’s been a longtime coming

So excited for this! It’s been a longtime coming. We are having a book celebration & audiobook launch. We’re also premiering my short film Wekweètì and Ekwǫ̀, with footage I took between 2000 and 2002 in Wekweètì and on the land featuring the late Elders Alexis Arrowmaker and Mary Adele Eyakfwo telling old time stories of how they grew up on the land and why they settled in Wekweètì. These stories inspired much of the book. The Yellowknife show on Saturday will also be broadcast live on fb. The following week is in Montreal. Thank you to so many people who’ve made this possible. Hope you can come!

In the summer of 2011 my band and I had the honour of touring as the opening act for Jeff Beck for nine shows in Europe. He wasn’t only the best guitarist I’ve ever seen but an extremely kind and generous person. We’ve lost another legend. Rest in peace #jeffbeck
