A sea-image-sound performance composed and recorded in Mi’kma’ki / Nova Scotia, Fall 2020.
Audio only:
This composition was conceived against the backdrop of escalating violence from non-indigenous commercial fishers towards Sipekne’katik First Nation fishers asserting their treaty rights protecting their right to hunt, fish and gather for the purposes of earning a moderate livelihood. Some non-indigenous commercial fishers have expressed the belief that self-regulated fishing outside the commercial season threatens the already precarious state of future fish stock for all citizens of Miꞌkmaꞌki / Nova Scotia.
