Indigenous Language Music

A new website is in the works to house this project. Stay tuned for ICCLBTM (Indigenous Cross-Cultural Language Building Through Music)
This project of learning through music in Indigenous languages each Sunday has been going on for 6 years now. 💜
The goal is to learn, and there is so much to learn! The hope is to let this learning journey do something by sharing it. I may not have a perfect way to describe it, but Indigenous languages are part of nature from my view. They belong in our world, are needed in our world, are connected to our world. They teach and show, they reflect and impact health of land and community, they are a right, a joy, a gift. Language holds more than words can express and music is a universal connection. We can learn about our world and ourselves through music and language.
This idea started as a dream a long time ago from travelling, became a school project 6 years ago, has continued as a Facebook group, YouTube playlist, blog and Forest Forum category, and even a separate website as part of a different school project in 2023-4. You're welcome to join the private Facebook group to share anything respectful and related, just search for Indigenous Cross-Cultural Community Building (ICCCB).
The project helps me grow and connect, maybe you will find something similar. It's not only music, but art, ideas, places, people, projects, our global history, current news, issues, connections, resources, hope, strength, and more.

Each Sunday, a new language song is found, along with information about the artist and language.

Indigenous Peoples in general hold Land and Water Guardians, Knowledge Keepers, and are too often on the frontlines of environmental devastation. It would be hard to find a nature petition that couldn't make it's way back to Indigenous communities or connection. There are plenty of nature petitions on this website. The collection here is for petitions specifically mentioning Indigenous lands, people, ways of life, and more.
Anyone can sign petitions. Environmentalism is the heart of this website project, nature issues is what I find most often. There are further Indigenous issues and petitions, some may be found in this list and you're welcome to share options:
