Buffy Sainte-Marie
Virtually
invented the role of Native American international activist pop
star. Her concern for protecting indigenous intellectual property,
and her distaste for the exploitation of Native American artists and
performers has kept her in the forefront of activism in the arts for
forty years. Presently she operates the Nihewan Foundation for
Native American Education whose Cradleboard Teaching Project serves
children and teachers in eighteen states.
By
age 24, Buffy Sainte-Marie had appeared all over Europe, Canada,
Australia and Asia, receiving honors, medals and awards which
continue to this day. Her song "Until It's Time for You to Go" was
recorded by Elvis and Barbra and Cher, and her "Universal Soldier"
became the anthem of the peace movement. For her very first album
she was voted Billboard's Best New Artist.
An educator before she was ever known as a singer,
Buffy lectures at colleges and civic venues on a wide variety of
topics: film scoring, electronic music, songwriting, Native American
studies, the Cradleboard Teaching Project, women's issues, the
Native genius for government, and remaining positive amidst tough
human realities. She serves as Adjunct Professor in Canada at York
University in Toronto and Saskatchewan Indian Federated College in
Regina, and in the U.S. was an Evans Chair Scholar at the Evergreen
State College in Washington State. She has also taught at the
Institute for American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico (USA).

Didgeridoo
Aboriginal music
unites consciousness with the invisible laws and energy patterns of
nature. Aboriginal art is perhaps most accurately described as a method
for gaining knowledge of nature and it's invisible Dreaming. An example
is the playing of the didjeridoo, a long wooden flute, perhaps the
oldest musical instrument on earth. |

Jody Franklin
once suffered the
embarrassment of being heralded a "renaissance man" by a
contemporary. This haughty description was intended as an umbrella
covering his multidisciplinary forays into writing, film/TV,
performance, music and various other arts and media. While eschewing
the term "outsider artist," he nevertheless considers himself an
"outsider human being. "These days, he co-publishes
The Misfit Library,
works as an indentured freeman for the Burning Man community, plays
and sings in the infamous
July Fourth Toilet, paints and draws disturbing pictures,
designs websites, pranks the populace, and wrestles both chairs and
bipolar disorder. Despite the fact that the Pacific Northwest is
going to be hit with an earthquake that'll make the recent
destruction in southeast Asia seem like the vibrations in a '50
Dodge, it looks like he's never going to leave Vancouver. Nobody
leaves Vancouver |

Raphael Montañez Ortiz makes art that is the product of
self-imposed discipline, complex methods, and ritualistic processes -
some drawing on his Puerto Rican, Portuguese, and Native American
heritage. In the 1960s Ortiz developed his own movement, “Destructivism,”
an experimental art process that included destroying and reconstructing
objects in public performances. Destructivism was made famous when Ortiz
destroyed a piano on The Johnny Carson Show by "playing" it with an ax.
This clip covers 30 years of piano destructivist performances, from
London in 1966 to the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1996. |
