About

We take music to less fortunate Indigenous families in Winnipeg so they can participate in the arts without sacrificing their family responsibilities, personal safety, or ability to make ends meet. Our efforts are amplified by teams of great folks from Central Neighbourhoods Winnipeg, Ka Ni Kanichihk, Ma Mawi Wi Chi Itata Centre, and Spence Neighbourhood Association.

We believe that every stage gives us a chance to challenge stereotypes and reaffirm the humanity of Indigenous people.

We believe that art deserts have the same negative effects on our mental health that food deserts have on our physical well-being.
