Jeremy Dutcher talks about trying to keep the Wolastoqey language alive through music and through a new language immersion school his family has been working to create.
In 2018, Canada’s prestigious Polaris Music Prize was awarded to Jeremy Dutcher for his album, Walastoqiyik Lintuwakonawa.

There are only around 100 native speakers of Wolastoqey today.
