Genisis of the work started in 1989 , when the former director of The International Pitt Gallery asked me to do a performance event addressing native concerns. I was working with Gitxsan playwright and poet the late Neil Benson in video work in 1986. He allowed me to study his poems and play, and I Studied my works to look at language, syntax and cultural differences between Neil and myself. He was raised traditional, I was assimilated. This work was the result of that study on the other and the self as native forms of culture Miigweech I have a new playlist of songs here: link Thank you for stopping by. RIP dear sister Diane Fehr.
