2RMX and VirtualFeast.ca present
Water Women Winter Solstice (WWWS21)
Water-honouring, music-streaming event features Indigenous women artists – including Carsen Gray, Sandy Scofield and Miss Christie Lee
On December 17th @ 5pm-10pm PST, 2 Rivers Remix Society (2RMX)will celebrate and recognize the sovereignty of WATER, with a night of powerful music and ceremony featuring a special lineup of Indigenous women artists. This water-honouring event is also the launch of the 2RMX/VirtualFeast Community Confluence Tour that will continue through 2022.
“We acknowledge WATER as a Sovereign Being requiring respect and deep care, while being conscious of the connection of those Water Bodies to our own bodies of Water,” says Artistic Director of 2RMX, Meeka Noelle Morgan. “Women have a central role in provision, management, and safeguarding of Water all over our Mother, Earth. It is a great honour to present these incredible women who are celebrating Water while sharing the great strengths they carry within themselves during these times of hardship for so many. As we honour them, we honour each and every one of you who bear witness to this,” says Morgan.
Setting the intention of Water Women Winter Solstice (WWWS21) will be Secwepemc Elder Viviane Sandy, with her powerful words, prayers, and welcoming us to the territory. Alongside will be xʷməθkʷəy̓əm MC, Miss Christie Lee, performing with Skwxwu7mesh/ Nisga’a MC, Lady Sinncere, who recently marked her return to hip hop music with an anthem to support the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. Innovative Tahltan/Tlingit composer Edziu brings the voices of their grandmothers in collaboration with Nagoohiindaak, Melissa Frost, of Wolf clan/Chʼichyàa from the Vuntut Gwichin First Nation of Yukon.
Multiple award-winning Métis/Cree songwriter, performer, and composer, Sandy Scofield will hold us afloat beautifully. Haida loop poet, interdisciplinary artist and producer Ms.PAN!K will perform solo as well as collaborating with Secwepemc Founder/Curator of the Working Group on Indigenous Food Sovereignty and of the Wild Salmon Caravan, Dawn Morrison.
Our special guest for WWWS21 is the award-winning, soulful Haida singer-songwriter Carsen Gray, as she prepares to makes waves across the globe with her 2022 Nettwerk Release Each Moment. 2RMX also welcomes emerging artists MzShellz, Cree Hip Hop artist and owner of “Native by Nature” and Hexy, multi-instrumentalist, punk rocksong writer and singer of Haida descent. The evening will be topped off by none other than spinmeister and multimedia-maker from Alexis Nakota Sioux and Cold Lake First Nations, DJ Kookum!
According to Morgan, this event reminds us that “as we honour our own bodies of Water, we honour all bodies of Water. We know that when we have a hard time, our grandmothers have told us to give it to Water, because Water can take it, and bring our troubles to where they need to go.”WE HONOUR THE WATER AS WE HONOUR WOMEN. WATER IS LIFE!2RMX and VirtualFeast.ca present

13:02
interpreted as woman surrounded by chiefs my english name is vivian sandy
13:11
i’m very honored to be here to be able to share
13:16
our very beautiful traditions in our culture that
13:23
honors the winter solstice and spring and summer
13:28
the four seasons as in our in our own lives we have four
13:33
seasons like myself i’m a great grandmother and
13:39
i find myself in the fourth season where i sit quietly and
13:45
before i be jumping all over like i talked about in my 20s and protesting john wayne and just all kinds
13:52
of stuff and i was a youth at that time
14:00
and i’m very honored to be here to to support the youth that are um
14:05
wanting to share with our with the peoples
14:12
the importance of acknowledging for instance this winter solstice that
14:17
we’re in now to
14:22
introspect a time to i’m from the bear clan
14:28
and we go within and and look
14:34
shuffle around and prepare for the the
14:40
the new time and this is where in in the shah
14:48
i was taught by elders in my twenties
14:53
because we’re related all the way down to california the shushwa language goes all the way down there
15:00
so we’re related all the way down there in longhouse the
15:05
were longhouse people with the songs and the dance and the paint
15:11
but the government they totally wiped that out and now there’s people that songs are coming to
15:18
them and and we come out and and the spirit shows us how we dress like
15:24
how you see me when i’m ready to sing in the winter
15:29
time to welcome the new year to prepare for it the spirits
15:35
want me dressed like this with the scarves and they love and the song they love the
15:42
scarfs and i was taught that
15:47
i’m only a caretaker of these songs these sacred songs
15:53
and i follow what they ask because when when they come out they do their healing
16:00
they help the people or whatever we’re praying for we pray all night long
16:05
dancing singing sharing the food the medicines the water
16:10
the fire the feathers the sage the sweet grass
16:17
all these are sacred
16:22
especially that water not fire all these are a part of us
16:28
there’s no separation and so in the winter time
16:35
we prepare ourselves i prepare myself
16:40
i look at my life i look at where i need to improve myself to make sure that i
16:46
carry these songs in an honorable way
16:58
all through the year we collect
17:03
gifts that we would like to give away in honor
17:09
of the songs and and the work that
17:14
our spirits our ancestors do and help us do through us and through
17:20
these things and and what we do to
17:25
continue to share for the coming generations
17:33
the way i was taught was that were the highest percentage of water
17:40
our bodies and our bodies they come from mother earth
17:46
everything that we eat everything that we drink everything that we wear everything that we use all the different
17:52
medicines come from mother earth
18:00
in my life some in my language
18:06
were very pitiful as human beings
18:12
all other things know their place and they do what they do until they get called home but us we we
18:19
have a free mind we have allowed to make decisions and choices
18:25
and that’s where we struggle with the mental
18:30
but they say with the water all these instruments helps us mentally physically emotionally spiritually
18:38
for that whole for the balance and the way i was taught were these
18:44
things these instruments just like ourselves myself i’m an
18:50
instrument you’re an instrument every one of you is an instrument each
18:55
one of us has a gift and we and we learn to bring those out
19:01
and share them on behalf of all of creation
19:10
all the ceremonies that we have that our ancestors were given and they took care of
19:19
are the ones that we hold today i was given a sweat lodge in in
19:26
the late 70s and i was told don’t ever change
19:33
anything in there and i don’t and the healing that comes about
19:40
in in taking care of these sacred things are miracles that happen
19:47
that’s why i i keep believing in the young people prophecies talk about that
19:53
the young people will will help the nations through the arts
20:00
and that’s what’s happening today and so
20:11
there are many ceremonies that i’ve traveled
20:16
and been participated in from here to south america and the water and the canal the fire the
20:24
feathers the sage the sweet grass and even they say why we use the abalone shell
20:34
because the ocean listens to us through the shell
20:42
so our ancestors were shown and they took care of these things
20:49
why we haven’t today
20:56
and it’s very important to me that through the audio through the things
21:02
that we’re doing that we can share with the coming generations
21:10
because i find when young people when you take the time to share with them these ceremonies they’re the ones that
21:16
are taking care of them today because when i was 20 years old i was
21:22
showing the shown these and i learned how to take care of them and they’ve helped me
21:31
and so part of in the winter time
21:37
we prepare for for the new year
21:44
in ourselves around us and through our our ceremonies like
21:52
the song that i’d like to share is a ceremony that we have
21:57
the long house where the sacred tree stands in the middle
22:04
and our songs we call i had a dream one time
22:11
i go elders would take me to these different ceremonies in the wintertime
22:18
and i got invited to a man’s ceremony and i didn’t feel comfortable with him
22:24
but i went anyhow
22:32
and i went anyhow and then they wanted to
22:38
put me in a room to sleep and i said no i’ll sleep on the floor here where the ceremonies are
22:46
and i had a dream and in the dream the voice told me that
22:51
man was sitting across from me in the dream and the floor there the sacred floor
22:57
and the voice told me says see that man over there
23:02
you don’t have any powers he might talk around and say he can do this and not but
23:10
he don’t have any powers when we’re praying and singing in here he says the medicine comes from up there
23:18
so i looked up and it was like a hole in the middle but i could see all these uh
23:24
dancers the same as us down here in a circle but they were in a circle up there
23:30
and i could see them and they were all ancestors
23:36
and then this lady knelt down and through that hole or whatever she
23:42
handed me a book so he took the book
23:48
and that voice said that’s where the healing comes from
23:56
so i’m sharing that to how i have the
24:02
faith to carry on because you say oh we got to believe you
24:08
know we gotta and we do and so i always try to think how how are
24:15
we able to reach the children today to help them to have faith to to believe and want to
24:23
take care of these ceremonies so that we can continue on so
24:28
that my great granddaughter will be able to hold this
24:35
so like i say i ha i have to conduct myself in a healthy way at all times
24:41
and so when we sing our songs in the winter time there’s different songs
24:48
like i have a song that that talks to the light that comes from mother earth
24:54
the light that she has and the light that we have
25:00
on on the surface and how the light from the creator
25:06
shines and so those three are like that
25:13
when we pray and we work to be in balance we we lighten we brighten that light
25:21
which which helps us brighten so there’s many things
25:28
that go with all the different ceremonies
25:35
and one of the biggest things is like through the year we gather like
25:40
myself i gather stuff i see something go oh that’ll be nice somebody will enjoy
25:46
that and i buy that and i put it away we gather through the year like that and then when we get to sing our song
25:53
like i i want to share a song with you to encourage you to to let you know you’re
25:59
in a good place that you’re at the right place at the right time whether you learned or
26:05
not when you were young or or it was snatched from you but creator still finds a place for you to learn and open
26:12
up and share and be happy so that’s what we make lots of wishes
26:18
when we when we give away at this time
26:26
and so on behalf of these
26:31
and being grateful that as a great grandmother the time of my life that
26:37
creator could have pity on me and i i have a bright mind yet
26:42
i have a good healthy body my spirit i’m happy about who i am what
26:48
what i can do spiritually um
26:54
i’m willing to share willing to learn all these different things
27:01
and so
27:06
but i will share this song and then i’d like to hand these out as giveaway
27:12
even thanks for for this new year coming that all things that we’ve struggled
27:18
with the obstacles that we could leave him here and carry on

1:29:46
but it’s just gonna be with me and my drum oh that’s okay
1:29:58
so i wrote this um quite a while ago now and it’s called open hearts and i think that
1:30:06
in this time and age now with all of the things that we’re dealing with environmentally um
1:30:12
and just socio-culturally as people um that we need to start looking inside
1:30:18
and and opening our hearts so this song is dedicated to everybody who’s doing that work
1:30:25
[Music]
1:30:43
it’s time for us to open our hearts
1:30:48
it’s time for us to open our hearts
1:30:55
look within that’s where it should begin use your third eye and open it wide
1:31:05
and if you’re doing it right [Music] you will find the jewels inside
1:31:13
[Music] we are abundant and we are riches as long as we
1:31:19
learn to give [Music] what you put out you get back again
1:31:27
on and on that cycle never ends
1:31:33
[Music]
1:31:42
hey i just wanted to do a little something like that my drum
1:31:48
so this next song i’m going to do for you is actually called prayers and
1:31:54
i want to just give gratitude for all the the water that we do have out here on the coast
1:31:59
we’re very lucky um to have that a lot of places don’t so let’s uh dedicate this song to all the
1:32:07
beautiful clean water that we have in bc uh so-called bc and uh and beyond and
1:32:15
we should all be taking a stand to protect it so i pray that we all stand together and we do that
1:32:21
[Music] and i would love a little bit more beat up in the monitors here so i can rock

know what you do do what you know listen
1:37:37
[Music]
1:37:46
well i’m sitting here trying to relocate my consciousness remember to own my own mind and it’s significance remember to
1:37:53
open my eyes to the universe’s hint since trying to keep lost balance is often hit or missing if we don’t take
1:37:59
the time to listen to our hearts speak we might often find ourselves tongue-in-cheek cause it’s hard speaking
1:38:06
our feelings if we don’t know what they are how do we take charge of a purpose or a worth to know the value of this
1:38:12
earth take the time to know yourself it’s up to you and no one else know what you do do what you know listen
1:38:19
to your inner voice in our city

1:40:05

1:40:12
between values and addictions and those restrictions on my mind i work hard to fix them rewiring my mind and taking
1:40:19
time to redefine my own heart in my own mind cause for every time my intuition
1:40:25
gets dismissed i find it hand in hand with consequence i find myself up
1:40:30
against defense defenseless and senseless with all these false pretenses of the corporate governments and their
1:40:36
financial interests it’s a destructive business because media distorts it in
1:40:42

1:41:06
remember to own my own mind and its significance remember to open my eyes to the universe’s hint since trying to keep
1:41:13
lost balance is often hit or missing if we don’t take the time to listen to our heart speak we might often find
1:41:19
ourselves tongue-in-cheek cause it’s hard speaking our feelings if we don’t know what they are how do we take charge
1:41:26
of a purpose or a worth and know the value of this earth take the time to know yourself it’s up to you and no one
1:41:32

1:43:25
today with with uh the great honor of being invited to the two rivers remix winter solstice
1:43:33
festival i’m going to share with you a written piece that i did for this amazing book
1:43:40
that was put together by an amazing mentor of mine and leader jeanette
1:43:47
armstrong from the seals nation a book called the river of salmon peoples that brings together five
1:43:53
authors indigenous authors um from nations along the fraser basin
1:44:00
to talk about our relationship as indigenous peoples as salish and speaking peoples to the
1:44:07
the salmon and the river [Music]
1:44:14
our people are like the aspen quaking
1:44:22
quaking in the wisdom of the northern spring winds
1:44:28
roots firmly grounded grounded in the synergy
1:44:35
of flowers fruits and fungus healing
1:44:40
[Music] healing in the biota of white dust and cankers
1:44:48
and meditating [Music] meditating in the calm before the storm
1:44:53
of political fury lynching mosquitoes
1:44:59
and swimming swimming in strong curtains of spirit
1:45:06
[Music] our people are the shekwet mo
1:45:12
we are the people of the land where the water flows from the highest mountain through the rivers on its way to the
1:45:19
ocean our story takes us back to the time
1:45:24
when old one created the rivers lakes and streams
1:45:30
and coyote led the salmon to shikha makulu
1:45:36
as one of the most basic and profoundly inter intimate ways in which we interact
1:45:41
with our land we see ourselves in the reflection of
1:45:46
the water as it travels through diverse landscapes watersheds and communities within our
1:45:53
territory meandering over some of the most ancient
1:45:59
bedrock in the territory the rivers lakes and streams have shaped
1:46:06
formed and laid the gravel for some of the best salmon spawning beds in the world
1:46:14
millions of salmon cycle rich nutrients through ancient inland rainforests
1:46:21
and extensive wetlands and riparian zones along the rivers where they play out
1:46:27
their lives in birth and death
1:46:33
the landscapes from the characteristic green belt found in the rain shadow of the eastern
1:46:40
slopes of the rocky mountains to the rattlesnake ridden
1:46:45
desert-like landscapes and grassland biomes near to kamloops
1:46:51
the place where the rivers meet and bonaparte clue towels meaning
1:46:57
gravelly river chiquatmook place names tell a rich and
1:47:03
meaningful story and are symbolic of the eco-philosophy that underlies our
1:47:10
worldview for example stephenstone
1:47:16
is the name of the valley that meets the eastern shore of hustalan
1:47:22
it translates to a place with an abundance of food which in this case
1:47:28
includes fish deer berries and root vegetables
1:47:36
the name gives rich meaning and clues to the ways in which our culture
1:47:41
has adapted to living in this area and highlights its significance in
1:47:47
relation to the land plants and animals that provide us with our food
1:47:53
[Music]
1:47:58
our ancestral memory is entwined with a web of thoughts dreams and intuitions
1:48:06
that guide our traditional ways of knowing and interact with the salmon and the
1:48:12
rivers lakes and streams
1:48:17
in contrast to the western scientific paradigm that sees salmon as quote unquote
1:48:25
escapement and water as a quote unquote resource
1:48:31
to be exploited to an external means we view our relationship with them in a
1:48:37
much more complex and new non-linear way
1:48:42
we worship the water for its obvious life-giving qualities
1:48:47
and the cleansing and purification it bestows upon us [Music]
1:48:54
we revere the salmon for this role they play in maintaining the health and integrity
1:49:00
of our traditional land and food system [Music]
1:49:06
our sense of place and identity is shaped by a relationship with the
1:49:11
land water plants and animals that provide us with this food
1:49:18
this philosophy is encoded within the teachings of coyote
1:49:23
as they are contained within our striptacula in a highly dynamic interplay between
1:49:30
matter energy climate and geography coyote reminds us of our higher power
1:49:38
the old one and creative potential that flows through our collective stream of
1:49:44
consciousness through his ability to transform himself
1:49:50
into anything he wants he works with the old one to interpret his spiritual messages
1:49:58
and teach us important social cultural and ecological morals
1:50:03
often through his own foolish behavior and his humor and creativity
1:50:11
the most creative and meaningful stories are highly descriptive and will often
1:50:16
lead you to make your own connections between thoughts feelings dreams and
1:50:22
tuitions [Music] they contain metaphors that are creative
1:50:27
expressions of the ways in which we see ourselves in the reflections of the water
1:50:36
in this way stories help us know where we have come from and who we are
1:50:43
once we know ourselves we are then free to go beyond
1:50:49
what we know to be quote unquote true in the physical world
1:50:55
to explore the great mysteries imagine possibilities and create new realities
1:51:01
that offer deep meaning to all our relations
1:51:08
unity on a grand scale of space and time
1:51:14

2:07:12
opportunity to perform the song with the two rivers remix i think it’s so important to have an all-female cast the
2:07:20
song is in order in honor of the murdered and missing indigenous woman
2:07:26
um lgbtqs plus and men our people are going missing
2:07:32
and they’re being murdered across this country and it’s not okay
2:07:38
we do not tolerate this indigenous women are considered
2:07:43
our prized possession they’re sacred they’re life givers they’re knowledge keepers they’re the
2:07:48
ones who pass down our lineage without our women we have nothing so this song
2:07:55
is for us women to gather our strength to our stand in our power
2:08:01
we don’t need to be afraid in our own country we’re not going to tolerate violence or murder against our women
2:08:07
it’s not okay for us to go missing so the song is to raise awareness and for us to feel strong about who we
2:08:14
are and to be in our power wherever we are in our territories
2:08:21

mama you gave me light and you gave me life you gave me dreams to get me through the
3:39:55
night you told me not to follow christ that the creator needs no sacrifice thanks for all the good advice
3:40:02
mr mean is full of life lessons if you want to live moderation is the essence and i’ve never failed hunger pains
3:40:08
you’ve always kept me fed but if it’s my last supplement i’ll take seconds i’m sorry that’s human nature man we full of
3:40:14
greed no matter if we’re full or not we look for more to eat and i’m grounded now mama but i refuse to shed my
3:40:20
feathers cause that’s not the way you taught me no i know better but mama i gotta thank you for everything cause
3:40:26
even though you’re sick you still provide us with the medicine you never once complained i’m forever grateful you
3:40:31
provided us a home our conduct is shameful mama we need you now more than
3:40:36
ever i can’t believe the way we treated you but late than ever i’ve taken you for granted but from here on out i
3:40:41
cherish you and it’s my open letter to show the pain that i share with you you’re giving us the life my brothers
3:40:46
make you hurt but all they see is dollar signs while stealing out your purse man they’re never taking the time to see for
3:40:52
what you’re really worth but the damage done is permanent it can’t be irreversible you really raise some shady people
3:40:58
you’re giving them the world but like the sun you see no evil mama who is my teacher but she’s gone now
3:41:04
i know where i belong now my mother’s keeper so mama i refuse to see you die this way i take
3:41:09
