Heavy Friends
Saturday June 25th, 2022 with Jas Nasty
National Indigenous History Month Special

all music by Indigenous artists from Turtle Island links to resources for deeper learning: Indian Residential School Survivors Society - https://www.irsss.ca/donate Truth and Reconciliation Commission Reports - https://nctr.ca/records/reports/ National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls - https://www.mmiwg-ffada.ca ASINABKA FILM & MEDIA ARTS FESTIVAL - Presenting Indigenous Arts in Algonquin Territory - www.asinabkafestival.org
Beverley McKiver's 32 min. suite of 13 piano solos was inspired by the floral emblems of the ten provinces and three territories in Canada. Each piece was informed by Beverley’s love of plants and the outdoors, her personal history, and memories shared by close friends. Beverley is the mother of our friend Melody McKiver, whose music we will hear in the second part of the first hour.
