A Connecticut singer is taking Native art and culture to new places. He invited Indigenous musicians – as well as one of the world’s most famous cello players, Yo-Yo Ma – to perform at sunrise on the banks of the Connecticut River. The performance highlights Native peoples’ deep connection to nature and water. Water is a source of creation, shaping everything around us: the contours of land, even names that define us. Names like: Connecticut. In Chapter 4 of “Still Here,” we take you to the sunrise performance designed to “welcome the dawn with music.”
