In honor of Indigenous Peoples’ Day, indigenous musicians will talk about joining traditional cultures with hip hop, jazz, funk and dance music. Calina Lawrence of the Suquamish Tribe will talk about using the Lushootseed language in a hip hop song of hers. A Tribe Called Red describes their song honoring John T. Williams, a Native American woodcarver who was shot and killed by a police officer in 2010. Musician and glassblower Preston Singletary talks about fusing his native Tlingit culture into contemporary works. And on this week’s edition of “Day Job,” Hozoji Roseanne Mathison-Margolis. By day she’s a shellfish diver for the Puyallup Tribe, by night she plays drums in the nautical inspired rock band, Helms Alee.
