Forever Young

The latest from A Cree In NYC. For those who don't know what it is. When I first moved to NYC I was asked by a few northern newspaper editors at the time to write a column for them about my experience living here. We couldn't come to terms so I decided to start a blog.

Tapwe's VP of Music Pura Fé (on RUMBLE: The Indians Who Rocked the World),

“When people hear the traditional music of the American south, they say, ‘That’s Indian music? I thought that was African music,’” the indigenous music historian Pura Fe says in the film. “All of the music of the south was informed by the land, and therefore by us.”
