The experiences of Inuit people and scientific data show the impacts of climate change and how it disproportionately affects Canada's Far North. Arctic sea ice is central to Inuit life – Labrador Inuit communities have more than four dozen Inuttitut terms for sea ice. And the weakening of the ice as a result of climate change poses a tangible threat: stifling access for remote fly-in communities, cutting off essential goods and endangering Inuit peoples' traditions, including hunting and fishing.Jenn Thornhill Verma, investigative journalist and Pulitzer Ocean Reporting Fellow, takes The Decibel to the northeastern Labrador Inuit community of Nunatsiavut. We hear from Inuk elders on how their communities are innovating and adapting new technology to fight climate change.This story was produced in partnership with the Pulitzer Center's Ocean Reporting NetworkQuestions?

Welcome to this episode's pop offerings!Streaming:"North of North," Netflix. A goodhearted, if bumbling, Inuk woman (Anna Lambe) tries to reinvent herself in this warm, lighthearted comedy set in a tiny Arctic town.

This joyful autobiography looks at the fascinating life of the Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter. She grew up in a bohemian family in Stockholm, New York, and London.

This 2014 memoir is funny, heartfelt, and chock full of celebrities (from buddies like Steve Martin to cringey encounters with Sinatra, Hepburn, and Tony Bennett).

Representatives from the Canadian government just traveled to northern Quebec to apologize to the Inuit people of Nunavik for the mass killing of sled dogs some six decades ago. The apology comes with $45 million in compensation. The actions are acknowledgement of the government's callous regard for the wishes, much less the livelihoods, of the Inuit as it carried out the slaughter of more than 1,000 dogs. The money will go toward revitalizing sled dog culture through training and operational support. We'll hear about what brought on the action and how Nunavik Inuit worked to secure accountability. GUESTS Jennifer Probert Erhart (Upper Tanana Athabascan), dog musher and tribal court support specialist in the tribal government and justice division at Tanana Chiefs Conference Carl Erhart (Koyukon Athabascan), dog musher Lucy Grey (Inuk), Makivvik Corporation coordinator for the dog slaughter file Charlie Arngak (Inuk), deputy mayor of Kangiqsujuaq MP Iqwinder Gaheer, Member of Parliament for Mississauga-Malton in Ontario, Canada

Episode 34 focuses on the shooting by police last weekend of a violent repeat offender, who should never have been allowed to wander Winnipeg streets because of his diminished capacity to function in society. Part 1- An email from a new listener came along with their donation to the Season 5 Funding Drive. You'll hear his messaqe to other listeners and readers about our work. Then, Transcona Coun. Russ Wyatt sent a letter to the Sun going scorched earth on those responsible for the "epidemic" disorder and violence faced by Transit drivers and riders- the "liberal/white-wine socialists we have on council" who don't take "entitled law-breakers seriously." He maintains skipped fares could amount to $10M a year. Marty discusses his Sun story about EK Councillor Jason Schreyer's safety meeting last Monday, the ATU safety rally at City Hall on Tuesday, and why Mayor Gillingham's idea of a solution- more Community Safety Officers - falls far short of what's needed to restore trust in taking a bus. A lot of the problems we face now were created by former Mayor Brian Bowman, who put his political ambitions ahead of public safety. Thanks to our supporters, funding for Season 5 has exceeded 80%. We have only $1035 to go to meet the target. Please go to the Donate page on ActionLine.ca to contribute today and support public affairs coverage in Winnipeg! 20.40 Part 2 - Jordan Charlie was a 24 year old Inuk man from Taloyoak, Nunavut who was incapable of controlling himself, born into a bad situation with FASD, chronic mental health conditions and low cognitive function. He was sentenced to 4 1/2 years after stabbing a victim in the throat while stealing his pot, then battering a corrections officer. Sent to Stony Mountain Penitentiary, Charlie severely wounded himself repeatedly, sustaining brain damage. He was released from prison in January. Stuck in Winnipeg and homeless because somehow, the judges and Crown couldn't be bothered to figure out how to arrange for him to go back to Nunavut as he wanted, Charlie used a weapon to slash a security guard at HSC, was found with a concealed saw on a Transit bus downtown, and breached probation when apprehended on a bike with a kitchen knife in West Kildonan. All by the end of July. He was released with time served and a meaningless supervised probation by provincial court Judge Don Slough on November 19. Five days later, he was shot dead after (allegedly) stabbing a cop in the throat and as seen in bystander video, refusing to drop his weapon and walking out of a bus shack towards two officers at the Unicity plaza. We ask why a violent man diagnosed with oppositional defiant disorder -  Recurrent patterns of negative, hostile, or defiant behavior towards authority figures - wasn't detained for the safety of everyone in Winnipeg, while the details of getting him home were worked out by the Public Trustee. Jordan Charlie's death isn't "society's fault"- this blame is on the judge who didn't make sure he was taken care of and on the Crown who failed to ensure the public in Winnipeg was protected from him.

The Bill was passed in 2022- but hasn't been proclaimed. We spoke to the Singer family after Bradley was killed when police stormed his Magnus Avenue home, and we have no doubt the investigation is being hindered by the delay in strengthening the IIU operations. https://actionline.ca/2024/04/april-24-2024-family-gets-ambulance-and-clean-up-bills-but-no-answers-after-cop-shooting/ See also- Charge 'em: The Magnus Avenue Shooting by Cops

Plongez dans les univers captivants d'Elisapie et de Jeremy Dutcher. Laissez-vous enivrer par le souffle du Grand Nord et du New Brunswick avec les albums Inuktitut et Motewolonuwok. (Rediffusion) Avant de commencer l'émission, voici quelques infos sur les cultures autochtones du Canada :Il y a 3 branches différentes d'autochtones au Canada :- 1) Premières nations : Mohawk, mig'maq, Abenaki... (Jeremy Dutcher)- 2) Métis- 3) Inuit (Elisapie).Pour ne pas se tromper, on dit : AutochtoneLa langue des Inuit est le Inuktitut : Inuk (singulier) / Inuit (pluriel)Elisapie se présente comme une Inuk du peuple inuit.Erreurs communes à éviter :Confondre les Innus et les Inuit - Les Innus viennent de la Côte Nord (Florent Vollant par exemple) / Les Inuit viennent du Grand Nord (Elisapie).Le Nunavik est la région tout au Nord du Québec. Le Nunavut est un territoire canadien.On ne dit pas la culture autochtone mais les cultures autochtones.Il y a plus de 50 langues autochtones au Canada, il y a 11 nations autochtones au Québec incluant les Inuit : Abénakis, Anishinabeg, Atikamekw Nehirowisiw, Eeyou, Wendat, Innu, Inuit, Wolastoqiyik, Mi'qmaq, Mohawk-Kanien'kehá:ka et Naskapi.Première invitée : Elisapie pour la sortie de l'album InuktitutL'artiste venue du Grand Nord, Elisapie, est depuis plusieurs années une ambassadrice incontournable des voix autochtones, elle incarne une élégance musicale certaine et un féminisme en avance sur son temps.Avec ce nouveau disque, la chanteuse qui a grandi à Salluit, un petit village du Nunavik, la région la plus au nord du Québec revient sur son enfance et adolescence en explorant ses titres préférés qui l'ont vue s'émanciper en tant que femme et en tant qu'artiste. Le défi était grand de revisiter ces chansons intemporelles de groupes ou d'artistes légendaires. Pourtant, qui peut prétendre à autant de délicatesse que dans ce titre Uummati Attanarsimat (Heart of Glass), reprise de Blondie ou ce Taimangalimaaq (Time After Time), de Cindy Lauper ?Ces classiques réinterprétés de Queen, Pink Floyd ou Rolling Stones sont chantés en Inuktitut, sa langue natale. De cette traduction, découlent une force et une poésie inédite. Dans cette playlist de jeunesse, Elisapie raconte son parcours, ses joies et ses peines, sa détermination aussi tout en faisant résonner sa culture avec finesse, en conjuguant modernité et tradition. De ses années passées dans l'Arctique, Elisapie a gardé les souvenirs de ses premiers amours, a été témoin des effets du colonialisme sur sa collectivité et a dansé jusqu'au bout de la nuit au centre communautaire du village. À l'adolescence, elle se produit sur scène avec ses oncles, eux-mêmes membres de l'illustre groupe de rock'n'roll inuit Sugluk (aussi appelé Salluit Band). À 15 ans, elle travaille à la station de radio du village et parvient à décrocher une entrevue avec Metallica. Jeune femme brillante et ambitieuse, elle s'installe à Montréal pour étudier et, finalement, faire carrière dans la musique. Aujourd'hui, l'auteure-compositrice-interprète inuk est une figure incontournable au Canada. Activiste dévouée, Elisapie a créé et produit la première émission de télévision diffusée dans tout le Canada pour célébrer la Journée nationale des peuples autochtones. Son attachement inconditionnel à son territoire et à sa langue, se situe au cœur de son parcours créatif et donc de son œuvre. Cette langue millénaire incarne la rudesse de l'environnement et la beauté féroce du territoire inuit. Cet album est le fruit de tout cela : une constellation de souvenirs aussi sensibles qu'oniriques.À la sortie de Uummati Attanarsimat, Debbie Harry et Chris Stein, membres de Blondie, acclament toute la beauté de cette version de Heart of Glass. Titres joués - Uummati Attanarsimat (Heart of Glass) Blondie voir le clip - Qimmijuat (Wild Horses) Rolling Stones voir le clip - Isumagijunnaitaungituq (The Unforgiven) Metallica voir le clip - Qaisimalaurittuq (Wish You Were Here) Pink Floyd- Californiamut (Going to California) Led Zeppelin.► Album Inuktitut (Yotanka/Bonsound 2023). Puis la #SessionLive reçoit Jeremy Dutcher pour la sortie de l'album Motewolonuwok.5 ans après avoir remporté le Prix de musique Polaris avec son premier album, Jeremy Dutcher est de retour avec une exploration radieuse de l'expérience autochtone contemporaine et de la place qu'il y trouve. Avec des chansons dans la langue de son peuple, le Wolasotqey, mais aussi en anglais pour la première fois, Motewolonuwok surpasse tout ce que le musicien a créé auparavant, englobant les chansons traditionnelles, les ballades nocturnes et les orchestrations saisissantes. « Lorsque nous analysons nos histoires, incluant nos histoires tristes — quelle est la lumière qui en ressort malgré tout ? », s'interroge-t-il. « Je voulais chanter à propos de la souffrance, puis nous amener vers la beauté », confie Dutcher. Wolastoqiyik Lintuwakonawa, paru en 2018, a propulsé Dutcher aux plus hauts sommets du monde culturel canadien, des galas Polaris et Juno au panel de juges de Canada's Drag Race. Mais peu de gens auraient pu prédire ce succès : l'album a été conçu comme un projet de recherche muséale, explorant les enregistrements sur cylindres de cire des porteurs de chansons wolastoqiyik — les ancêtres de Dutcher. Ténor de formation, le musicien a finalement chanté en duo avec ces voix, répondant à sa propre communauté à travers de sublimes chansons réinventées.Cette fois-ci, Dutcher voulait faire un album plus intimiste. Une remise en question. Un disque inspiré d'une observation du penseur yupik Richard LaFortune— que « le point où deux discriminations se rencontrent peut être dangereux ». Cette intersection peut également engendrer de la résilience, et cette résilience peut devenir une force. « Motewolonuwok » est un mot wolasotqey ancien qui est habituellement traduit par « sorcières ». C'est aussi ainsi qu'on appelle les personnes bispirituelles de la région — des personnes qui sont autochtones et queer, comme Dutcher, et qui ont reçu un héritage traditionnel précis. « Ce sont “des personnes possédant une grande force spirituelle” », explique-t-il. « C'est un honneur, plutôt que quelque chose dont il faut avoir honte. » Dutcher a dévoilé son homosexualité à 12 ans, mais l'idée même d'un « coming-out » lui a été imposée par les structures colonialistes. « L'identité bispirituelle ou queer autochtone est si belle, car elle ne provient pas d'un concept de déviance. » Et pourtant, « une grande part de ce savoir ancien a été perdue », souligne-t-il, et en tant qu'enfant grandissant au Nouveau-Brunswick — et même en tant qu'adulte habitant désormais Montréal — il évolue toujours à travers un « espace médian ». The Land That Held Them, son hommage à « ceux qui nous ont quittés trop tôt », vibre d'une façon qui évoque Nina Simone et Anohni. Ailleurs, au lieu d'un son modeste et presque privé, Dutcher utilise le plus grand canevas possible : un orchestre complet, avec des arrangements de Owen Pallett et, sur des morceaux comme Sakom, une chorale de 12 voix, celles de pairs queer et amis de Dutcher. Le chanteur a loué un autobus pour les amener enregistrer à Kingston — des camarades de l'école de musique de Halifax, ainsi que des membres de la scène jazz de Toronto et de l'irrésistible Queer Song-book Orchestra.Écouter Motewolonuwok, c'est entendre un album aux voix multiples. Il y a celle de Dutcher, plus exposée que jamais. Il y a sa chorale impromptue. On entend des réinterprétations d'airs traditionnels des berges de la rivière Wolastoq, ainsi que des vers de la poète cherokee Qwoli Driskill. Dutcher chante en Wolasotqey— littéralement sa langue maternelle — mais aussi en anglais, la langue de son père (et celle qu'il parlait le plus durant sa jeunesse). Une langue partagée est un cadeau avec une intention complexe ; sur Motewolonuwok, Dutcher ne chante pas que pour sa communauté, mais aussi « directement pour le nouveau venu [colonisateur] », dans sa propre langue, pour raconter des histoires de deuil, de résilience et de renaissance. Faire de la musique est comme apprendre une langue, selon Dutcher— « il n'y a pas de conclusion particulière ». C'est plutôt « un déchainement » - une constante exploration de ce qu'on veut dire et de comment on peut l'exprimer. Motewolonuwok est le prochain chapitre du musicien — un souhait collectif et une médecine réparatrice, une confession et un refrain. Titres interprétés dans le grand studio- Ultestakon Live RFI- Take My Hand, extrait de l'album voir le clip - Skichinuwihkuk Live RFI voir le clip. Line Up : Jeremy Dutcher, piano-voix.Traduction : Claire Simon.Son : Mathias Taylor, Benoît Letirant.► Album Motewolonuwok (Secret City Records 2023).

Plongez dans les univers captivants d'Elisapie et de Jeremy Dutcher. Laissez-vous enivrer par le souffle du Grand Nord et du New Brunswick avec les albums Inuktitut et Motewolonuwok. (Rediffusion) Avant de commencer l'émission, voici quelques infos sur les cultures autochtones du Canada :Il y a 3 branches différentes d'autochtones au Canada :- 1) Premières nations : Mohawk, mig'maq, Abenaki... (Jeremy Dutcher)- 2) Métis- 3) Inuit (Elisapie).Pour ne pas se tromper, on dit : AutochtoneLa langue des Inuit est le Inuktitut : Inuk (singulier) / Inuit (pluriel)Elisapie se présente comme une Inuk du peuple inuit.Erreurs communes à éviter :Confondre les Innus et les Inuit - Les Innus viennent de la Côte Nord (Florent Vollant par exemple) / Les Inuit viennent du Grand Nord (Elisapie).Le Nunavik est la région tout au Nord du Québec. Le Nunavut est un territoire canadien.On ne dit pas la culture autochtone mais les cultures autochtones.Il y a plus de 50 langues autochtones au Canada, il y a 11 nations autochtones au Québec incluant les Inuit : Abénakis, Anishinabeg, Atikamekw Nehirowisiw, Eeyou, Wendat, Innu, Inuit, Wolastoqiyik, Mi'qmaq, Mohawk-Kanien'kehá:ka et Naskapi.Première invitée : Elisapie pour la sortie de l'album InuktitutL'artiste venue du Grand Nord, Elisapie, est depuis plusieurs années une ambassadrice incontournable des voix autochtones, elle incarne une élégance musicale certaine et un féminisme en avance sur son temps.Avec ce nouveau disque, la chanteuse qui a grandi à Salluit, un petit village du Nunavik, la région la plus au nord du Québec revient sur son enfance et adolescence en explorant ses titres préférés qui l'ont vue s'émanciper en tant que femme et en tant qu'artiste. Le défi était grand de revisiter ces chansons intemporelles de groupes ou d'artistes légendaires. Pourtant, qui peut prétendre à autant de délicatesse que dans ce titre Uummati Attanarsimat (Heart of Glass), reprise de Blondie ou ce Taimangalimaaq (Time After Time), de Cindy Lauper ?Ces classiques réinterprétés de Queen, Pink Floyd ou Rolling Stones sont chantés en Inuktitut, sa langue natale. De cette traduction, découlent une force et une poésie inédite. Dans cette playlist de jeunesse, Elisapie raconte son parcours, ses joies et ses peines, sa détermination aussi tout en faisant résonner sa culture avec finesse, en conjuguant modernité et tradition. De ses années passées dans l'Arctique, Elisapie a gardé les souvenirs de ses premiers amours, a été témoin des effets du colonialisme sur sa collectivité et a dansé jusqu'au bout de la nuit au centre communautaire du village. À l'adolescence, elle se produit sur scène avec ses oncles, eux-mêmes membres de l'illustre groupe de rock'n'roll inuit Sugluk (aussi appelé Salluit Band). À 15 ans, elle travaille à la station de radio du village et parvient à décrocher une entrevue avec Metallica. Jeune femme brillante et ambitieuse, elle s'installe à Montréal pour étudier et, finalement, faire carrière dans la musique. Aujourd'hui, l'auteure-compositrice-interprète inuk est une figure incontournable au Canada. Activiste dévouée, Elisapie a créé et produit la première émission de télévision diffusée dans tout le Canada pour célébrer la Journée nationale des peuples autochtones. Son attachement inconditionnel à son territoire et à sa langue, se situe au cœur de son parcours créatif et donc de son œuvre. Cette langue millénaire incarne la rudesse de l'environnement et la beauté féroce du territoire inuit. Cet album est le fruit de tout cela : une constellation de souvenirs aussi sensibles qu'oniriques.À la sortie de Uummati Attanarsimat, Debbie Harry et Chris Stein, membres de Blondie, acclament toute la beauté de cette version de Heart of Glass. Titres joués - Uummati Attanarsimat (Heart of Glass) Blondie voir le clip - Qimmijuat (Wild Horses) Rolling Stones voir le clip - Isumagijunnaitaungituq (The Unforgiven) Metallica voir le clip - Qaisimalaurittuq (Wish You Were Here) Pink Floyd- Californiamut (Going to California) Led Zeppelin.► Album Inuktitut (Yotanka/Bonsound 2023). Puis la #SessionLive reçoit Jeremy Dutcher pour la sortie de l'album Motewolonuwok.5 ans après avoir remporté le Prix de musique Polaris avec son premier album, Jeremy Dutcher est de retour avec une exploration radieuse de l'expérience autochtone contemporaine et de la place qu'il y trouve. Avec des chansons dans la langue de son peuple, le Wolasotqey, mais aussi en anglais pour la première fois, Motewolonuwok surpasse tout ce que le musicien a créé auparavant, englobant les chansons traditionnelles, les ballades nocturnes et les orchestrations saisissantes. « Lorsque nous analysons nos histoires, incluant nos histoires tristes — quelle est la lumière qui en ressort malgré tout ? », s'interroge-t-il. « Je voulais chanter à propos de la souffrance, puis nous amener vers la beauté », confie Dutcher. Wolastoqiyik Lintuwakonawa, paru en 2018, a propulsé Dutcher aux plus hauts sommets du monde culturel canadien, des galas Polaris et Juno au panel de juges de Canada's Drag Race. Mais peu de gens auraient pu prédire ce succès : l'album a été conçu comme un projet de recherche muséale, explorant les enregistrements sur cylindres de cire des porteurs de chansons wolastoqiyik — les ancêtres de Dutcher. Ténor de formation, le musicien a finalement chanté en duo avec ces voix, répondant à sa propre communauté à travers de sublimes chansons réinventées.Cette fois-ci, Dutcher voulait faire un album plus intimiste.

TikTok Shop has its own version of Prime Day. Amazon Brand Tailor Promotions has an important update. These news stories and more on this week's Weekly Buzz how cool is that? Pretty cool, I think. Hello everybody, and welcome to another episode of the Serious Sellers Podcast by Helium 10. I'm your host, Bradley Sutton, and this is the show that is our Helium 10 Weekly Buzz, where we give you a rundown of all the news stories that are going on the Amazon, Walmart, TikTok shop and e-commerce world. We also give you training tips of the week that will give you serious strategies for serious sellers of any level in the e-commerce world. Let's see what's buzzing, all right, well, today is July 4th of July, national holiday in America, but you guys know me, I work 365 days a year, so I know no holidays. You guys need the news and I'm going to bring it to whether it is a holiday or not, so let's go ahead and hop right into it. Bradley Sutton: To start off, we actually have a news article that's not based on USA but actually based in Europe, and it's entitled. It was actually from the Guardian and it's entitled EU plans to impose import duty on cheap goods could dent Sheen and Temu All right, so they're making this move. Now, as you guys know, the reason why you know Temu and Sheen can offer such low prices, regardless of what country they're shipping to, is they take advantage of this kind of like loophole, as it were, like, for example, an EU. The threshold for this tariff is like 150 euros. In UK it's 135. And then there's also some other like threshold at 39 pounds or less. It doesn't involve VAT. So basically, what this means is that you know you can ship from China to the country uh, you know in EU or even America, uh, and the sender nor the recipient are charged like import duties and taxes, as opposed to if you're getting like a you know $200 item or something where you got to, you know fork over 20% or whatever it is, and in addition to that, you know to send from China that they take advantage of like these subsidies where they can get, they can ship things really, really cheap. But the one of the biggest advantages that the Chinese sellers have over European sellers or American sellers is that advantage of shipping things one at a time directly to customers so they can get around that import tax. Bradley Sutton: So what an EU Commission's spokesperson said is hey, what we have proposed is that there's now no exemption anymore for packages valued at below 150 euros. So this is not, like you know for sure, going to happen, but this impacts a lot in Europe, you know. It says imports from online retail retailers have more than doubled year on year to more than 350,000 items in April. Now this is like I said this is still in the preliminary stages. We don't know if this is going to pass or go through or not. But if you're in the US, you know this is impactful, I think, because you know Temo and Sheen are really attacking those low price kind of market there. Mainly it's been in the clothing like for Sheen and stuff like that. But I was just looking the other day on Temo there's coffin shelves all over the place and like a lot of the same products that amazon has and it's like super, super cheap. Now, thank goodness, not as many not nearly as many people shop on that platform as opposed to like TikTok shop or amazon and things. But you know this is something that maybe us sellers might want legislation on. I'm not sure you know like. Would you like the United States to crack down on these no-fee imports, because, remember, it's not just Temu and Shin anymore. What did Kerry talk about in the Weekly Buzz last week? Now Amazon has entered this game where they're going to offer these kind of direct shipments that'll get to buyers in like 11 days at a very low price. That's kind of like exclusively for those shipping from China. So this this will help, you know, maybe alleviate some of those imports if this loophole is kind of closed. So it'll be interesting to watch in the coming months what happens with this legislation. Bradley Sutton: Now the next news article is actually directly from Amazon Seller Central, a cool feature, something that you never see on Amazon. You guys know those announcements that we sometimes get news from, or you see it on your dashboard and you see how there's like a thumbs up or thumbs down. Have you guys ever seen one that had 66 thumbs up and only one thumbs down, like usually? It's like mostly thumbs down not usually, but a lot of times. A lot of sellers are not very happy with the updates that Amazon is giving, but this one is like 99% positive. Bradley Sutton: Now what is it? It's very simple, but it's. It's beneficial for sellers like myself who do similar shipments all the time. So if you've got your own 3PL and you're sending shipments in or you're sending shipments directly from out of the country, this feature is called a send it again feature, replicating previous FBA shipments with one click, all right. So basically, let's say you have this shipment you're selling, you're sending in 10 boxes of five coffin shelves each. Well, if that's usually what you do, like you just do that every two weeks or you do that every four weeks or whatever Now, instead of having to build that whole shipment over and over again from scratch, you can just hit this button and now it's going to duplicate that shipment. Now that doesn't mean you're locked into that SKU. It says you can still manually add or remove SKUs or modify the number of units, but at least you're not having to start from scratch again. So if you want to play around with this and see how it works, hit inventory in Seller Central, then hit FBA inventory, go to the shipments dropdown menu and then select manage shipments under the next steps column select send it again. If you want to see how it is to repeat a certain shipment, all right. The next article is repeat a certain shipment, all right. Bradley Sutton: The next article is from a retail dive. I'm not sure if I've ever quoted them before, but this is a article entitled TikTok shop to discount thousands of items during a sales event. So you know, we know, amazon has Prime Day, Walmart has Walmart plus day or deal or week, I think it's called, and then they actually have another one going on right now on Walmart before Prime Day. But now TikTok shop has its deals for you days that's coming this July it's actually going to be coming on July 9th and there's going to be exclusive discounts that I'll have with some major brands. Doesn't really say that everybody is has access to offer this. But what about you guys who are selling on TikTok shop? Did any of you guys get access to this deal for you days? Let me know in the comments below. Bradley Sutton: Regardless, it could be a way to boost traffic on Amazon. The deal for you days is a week before Amazon Prime, so there's a couple ways you can do it. If you're selling on TikTok shop, maybe you don't even have access to a deal for you days, but maybe you just go ahead and discount your products or do a big push on TikTok shop to influencers around that time. Well, that might boost some of your Amazon rankings before prime day, because you know, if you, the more outside traffic you get, you can get your ranks increase. Another strategy could be, during Amazon prime day, to run certain deals or run influencers on TikTok shop. And, you know, maybe your TikTok shop sales will have a boost, which you probably like, because there's a lot less fees on TikTok shop. But your Amazon sales might get a boost too, because people there's still people who might see something from an influencer on TikTok shop, but then they'll they prefer to go buy it from Amazon, right? So then again, during prime Day, you might be able to have some benefits there by getting that outside traffic from TikTok. So just something to keep in mind with Prime Day coming up. Bradley Sutton: Next article is from payments.com and it's entitled Walmart Plus Subscribers Break the 30% Mark. So they did a survey of about 8,000 different respondents and it said 30% of consumers had a subscription to Walmart Plus account. All right, Walmart+ is getting more market penetration, guys. And then, interestingly though this is the one I found fascinating is that among those subscribers, 87% also had an Amazon Prime account. So it's not just a matter of oh, they have to pick Walmart+ or they're going to pick Amazon Prime. A lot of people, myself included, have both Amazon Prime and Walmart+ accounts. Next article is back to Seller Central Dashboard, something that was announced this week Brand tailor promotions kind of a pretty good update, especially with prime day coming up. Bradley Sutton: All right, now there is an ASIN exclusion feature, all right. So before brand Taylor promotions, you can go to custom audiences. We announced this months ago when it first came out, and you know you can. You can like target all of your cart abandoners, but it's at the brand level. So maybe you have like 30 products in your brand but you don't want to everybody to get this discount that you're trying to do. You just want a few products or you don't want a few products in there. Well, now you know. Before you had no choice. You had to allow everybody who goes to any of your brands page to get access to this discount, but now you can exclude certain ASIN, so that it's almost as if you can just specify this promotion for a single ASIN. If you want to, so go into brand tailored promotions, check that out. Might be something to run during prime day If you have a lot of people who have abandoned the cart or you've got some repeat purchasers. You want to maybe drive some more conversion to keep brand tailored promotions in mind. Bradley Sutton: Next article is going to Amazon advertising and it's as you guys know. A few couple months ago we announced that Amazon is launched Amazon South Africa All right, but now Amazon ads is launched All right. So, believe it or not, there is a marketplace where there is no PVC until now. So now sponsored ads and brand stores have launched in South Africa. So if you're one of the very few I don't know anybody yet selling on the Amazon South Africa marketplace, go ahead and get your PPC up and running. Bradley Sutton: Going back to payments.com, this is kind of an off-topic thing, but I thought it was kind of interesting because I bet you a lot of you don't realize that Amazon made its own robot a few years ago. All right, now one of them they relaunched last year we talked about this in the Weekly Buzz, I think how it was for businesses, where it was kind of like a security guard of sorts, you know, for 24 hours, a 24 hour, uh, you know, like vigilance, like kind of like a ring camera if you were. But Amazon discontinued the robot for small businesses. This is kind of crazy. I'm showing a picture of this robot here for those who are watching on YouTube, but they're going to concentrate their efforts on the household robots. I mean, it's hard to believe there's robots in houses. Now it's called the Amazon Astro, all right. Now the reason I'm bringing this up is there is one person in the whole world who I know has one of this. Who do you guys think it is? Who's on cutting edge of different things? It's Kevin King. So I saw this in Kevin King's house when I went to his house there in Texas and I was like what in the world is this? So he didn't have it set up at the time. I wonder, Kevin, if you're watching out there, let me know how is your Amazon Astro? It's now maybe a collector's item, since Amazon is discontinuing it for the businesses. Bradley Sutton: Anyways, next up, not really an article, but something from LinkedIn. If you look at Liran Hirschkorn, last week he posted about how he saw that Lego had this virtual reality storefront in their Amazon store, where it's like a virtual store, where you can just go in there and walk around the. You can see shelves and you see the different Lego sets and you and it's. It's fake because it's like 3d, but it looks like you were in the Lego aisle in target or something like that, and then you can click on the actual products. It's actually quite wild. I tested it on my phone Um, my Amazon app. I have access to it too. So go to the Lego store. Just go to any Lego product on your phone in the Amazon app and then there'll be a button on there on the storefront that says Lego virtual store or something like that. Click that. It's kind of wild, and we've talked about here on the Weekly Buzz in the past that there's different companies that are moving towards this. Walmart is doing something in the meta, that there's different, you know companies that are moving towards this. Walmart is doing something in the metaverse, right? Who knows, maybe there'll be a day where you can go into the Manny's Mysterious Oddities you know our Helium 10 account, you know store it and then see all of our spooky stuff coffin shelves and bat-shaped bath mats and coffin bookshelves and things. I'm not sure if I would shop doing this Like I have virtual reality devices, but that just seems too weird to shop in that kind of environment. But who knows, maybe five, 10 years from now we'll be talking about this. It'll be like commonplace. Bradley Sutton: Last article of the day is again from Amazon, and they've got a special they announced just this week where you can save 25% on Amazon warehousing and distribution storage costs. On Amazon warehousing and distribution storage costs. That's AWD, all right. So from July 1st all the way to September 30th, anybody using AWD you get 25% off the base rate for storage costs and 15% off the base rate for processing and transportation costs. So this applies for people who are new to AWD or if you're already using it. You are going to get this discount. How many of you out there are using AWD? You know a lot of people well, not a lot, but I do know some people who switched to that, you know, a few months ago, you know to try and avoid some of those Amazon new fees that are coming for, like inventory placement and low inventory fee and things like that. For those of you who have done that, how is it working for you? Let me know in the comments below if you're watching this on YouTube. All right, that's it for the news this week. Bradley Sutton: Let's go ahead now and move into our training tip of the week. As you guys have been seeing the last couple of weeks we've been doing a long series on Prime Day. We've been trying to get everybody ready for Prime Day. We wanna make series on Prime Day. We've been trying to get everybody ready for Prime Day. We want to make sure you guys have the best Prime Day. I've got some strategies here that I have not talked about anywhere else, and none of our live broadcasts for Prime Day have we talked about. Bradley Sutton: It's a couple simple things that I think some Helium 10 members are sleeping on. So those of you who have the Insights dashboard in Helium 10, this is what I want you guys to do. All right, so go to your dashboard and then, on the left-hand side, I want you to hit insights. Okay, now, when you hit insights, there's a lot of insights that you know maybe have come up here. I want you to go to the settings and preferences for all the insights and then what I want you to do is look for the keyword based insights. All right, now there's a few that I think can help you this prime day. Bradley Sutton: It's kind of like for post prime day, but, as you know, you know you might start losing your keyword rank, your sponsored rank or your organic rank. You know, if everybody starts converting way way better than you, or if they're doing a higher bid, you want to get notified. Now, I'm sure what you guys are probably doing is, you know, maybe refreshing your search results or checking keyword track or something. But instead of that, add insight for that where it says hey, my, our increased sponsored keyword rank or increased organic keyword rank, all right. So then what you can set is like hey, you can say, Helium 10, if my keyword rank goes up or down by this much, please let me know. If my sponsor rank goes up or down by this much, please let me know. Bradley Sutton: Another thing that could happen in Prime Day, especially if you're going pretty heavy on some of your auto and broad campaigns, you might start getting sales on keywords that you didn't even know you were relevant for, and then what's going to happen if you're getting some organic sales on these keywords? Well, after Prime Day, your organic rank might go up, right. So another one that you can do is you know those other keywords. By the way, what I was mentioning, if organic rank is going up or down, sponsored keyword rank going up or down, those are keywords already on your radar, like the ones that you're tracking in Keyword Tracker right, but remember I said there could be new keywords. So what I want you to do is I want you to go to the my Product Keyword, suggested Insight or Alert, and then you hit Edit. Bradley Sutton: Right Now, what you're going to be able to do is like say, hey, if there's a keyword out there that has minimum whatever search volume and all of a sudden my organic rank gets to X or Y or Z right, and it has two words you know you can add a whole bunch of filters here Then give me an insight, in other words, give me alert. So a lot of people after prime day are like, looking at their PPC reports, are like, oh shoot, I didn't know I was getting a sales from this keyword and they weren't even tracking it. But this way, instead of having to look at all your search reports, just look, maybe all of a sudden you're going to get ranked for keywords that you didn't have on your radar. This is going to give you an alert. There's nothing like this out there in the industry. We're unique in offering this function. Another thing that we are unique in and it's important for Prime Day is we allow you to add competitors that you can track for Alerts. Bradley Sutton: Okay, so this was about your own products, right, but maybe you want to know, leading up to Prime Day, which one of your competitors is lowering their price. Is any of the competitors raising their price? Are any of your competitors adding coupons? What about after Prime Day? At what point do they take their coupon off? These are things that you might be tracking. Guess what? You don't have to track it. Helium 10 can do it for you instead of you going and refreshing pages and this and that. How can you do that? What I want you to do is again go to your Insights Dashboard. If you've got the Diamond plan, hit this like two swords crossing button. That's the icon that we have for competitors. All right, hit competitors and this is going to open up If you've got any competitors. If you don't have any competitors, guys, you need to add it. The way that you can add the competitors is by hitting the add competitors button, and then you have an option of hey, do you want to add just competitors individually? You can just track whatever products on Amazon Maybe it's not even something related to your product or you can link your competitors. Bradley Sutton: I highly recommend doing that, like if I have coffin shelves, I want to go ahead and add, like the other coffin shelf, so I can compare it directly to my coffin shelf. Like, for example, you can see here I'm tracking five different coffin shelf competitors. Now what do I mean when I say I'm tracking? I'm tracking? Hey, are their sales increasing or decreasing? Is their listing quality score changing? Like, maybe they updated their listing? Is their BSR changing? So what you guys can do for the competitor insights there's a lot of them. You can see when they added a coupon, when they removed a coupon, when their price has changed, when their price has gone down, if they changed their title or their main image or their category, if their BSR changes. Bradley Sutton: Basically, guys go into each and every one of these, hit the gear button and then set the alert. That what you want to be notified by. All right, I mean, I think that no brainer is like is my competitor running a coupon? Let me know if they start running a coupon. Maybe I'm going to start my coupon, but then you don't want to keep running your own coupon and they stop running their coupon. So set an alert to tell you when they stop running their coupon. They turn it off so you can turn off yours. Bradley Sutton: This is again something that nobody in the industry has. Guys, helium 10 has had this for over a year. I think a lot of you have been sleeping on this, but a lot of the work that you're doing or maybe you're not doing because you don't have time can be automated by this dashboard and setting these insights. All right, guys, so please go into your insights dashboard. Those of you with a diamond plan, I mean this is almost worth it just to have the diamond plan to be able to have this. But go in there If you've got the diamond plan set. Your competitors, set your alerts for your products or your insights. Set your alerts or insights for your competitors products, and then now going into prime day during prime day, going out of prime day, you are going to get the best data possible without having to go search 17,000 different places on Amazon every single day to try and track these things.

It is taking far too long for us to acknowledge the damage we have done to the world's water and to indigenous people and to take action : truth, reconciliation, change. Scientists have discovered that some whale songs actually evolve over time. It is my hope that the choirs who perform this work with me and all those who hear it will refuse to let what the whales are saying be lost in the ocean and will join their song in calling for respect and reciprocity. (Deantha Edmunds, May 19, 2024, Podium 2024)Stay humble, keep listening and keep learning. That is how we will use choral music as a way to advocate and change the environmental crisis that we're facing (Elise Naccarato, May 19, 2024, Podium 2024)Note: a transcript of this show and a translation of episode é157 podium 2024 - que pouvons-nous chanter et faire de plus ? can be found in the 'Transcript' tab.Welcome to a special episode of the conscient podcast featuring a bilingual panel that I facilitate called ‘Voicing the ecological crisis: what more can we sing and do? It recorded on Sunday, May 19, 2024, as part of Podium 2024, the Open Voices, Open Minds choral conference and festival organized by Choral Canada and l'Alliance chorale du Québec in Tiohtià:ke on the unceded traditional territory of the Kanien'keha:kaé (Montreal).I had the honor of selecting the panelists and moderating this important conversation. You will hear the presentations of Deantha Edmunds and Elise Naccarato in English in this episode. I invite you to listen to é157 of balado conscient to hear the French language presentations from this panel by Megan Chartrand and Sarah Fioravanti. You'll find a transcription of their presentations in the ‘transcript' section of this episode. I have to admit that the subject of our conversation that Sunday afternoon was extremely serious, complex and I'd even say existential, but I reminded the assembly that I had promised in the program that we would ‘leave the conversation with a practical reality check while humming with hope'.But how does one ‘hum with hope' when we are facing imminent societal collapse due to ? I asked the group and I asked myself how choral music or collective singing can help?I also reminded delegates that the ecological crisis, be it climate change, loss of biodiversity, the ravages of extractive capitalism, etc is deepening at a frightening pace, leaving many, including artists, feeling disempowered, demoralized and sometimes in denial.So when Meghan Hila, the Executive Director of Choral Canada, asked me to help out with this  panel, I was very pleased to facilitate conversations about climate change specifically and how commissioning new works on ecological themes, strategies to decrease the carbon footprint of choral music activities and how to engage in increased collective political action as a community of artists and singers.  I admire the leadership of Choral Canada and learned a lot from listening to their artistic work and innovative strategies. The congress itself was quite fabulous and it was good to remember that the Canadian choral community has a long history of engagement and foresight with environmental issues.For example, during Podium 2024, Nicholas Fairbank talked about Environmental Topics in Canadian Choral Music and the long list of choral music that are already in circulation on environmental themes.I also attended a session by composer Katerina Gimon, poet Lauren Peat and conductor Elise Naccarato about their Unsung: If the Earth Could Sing project, an environmentally-inspired choral cycle and so on over 3 days.I also heard about choral activities that explore some of the root causes of the ecological crisis such as colonisation and disconnection from nature. The Friday night, May 17th I attended a groundbreaking concert called Ahskennon'nia : songs of peace where one of our panelists, Deantha Edmunds, was a soloist. She talks about it during her presentation. Deantha was also a soloist on May 18th with her Song of the Whale composition performed with the Holy Heart Chamber Choir of Newfoundland. I was deeply moved by this gorgeous soundscape composition that ends with the words ‘carry the song on, evolve'. Those 5 words stayed with me : ‘Carry the song on, evolve…'I also heard some engaging discourse about the intersection of indigenous and non-indigenous musical collaborations, about moving from the colonial notion of choirs towards collective and group singing, about how choirs are often a microcosm of the diversity of our society with all its complexities, how the canon of choral music is being challenged and rethought, how listening itself is evolving and so on.  However, what I do not hear at this congress, and to be honest, I don't hear it much elsewhere in the arts sector, is a recognition and a sense of urgency that we are in an existential climate and nature emergency.This was troubling to me. For example, as we spoke on May 19th, wildfires were ravaging across western Canada and our fellow citizens were migrating to safer ground and that sadly this pattern will be amplified in the future.But I also said that who better than artists, singers, composers and educators to help society work through these complexities…For example, professor Adam Con from the University of Victoria mentioned at a panel on education that choral music is well suited to the challenges that we face because collective singing is participative, community engaging, cooperative, inclusive and accessible activity.I agree with Professor Con and think we're going to need more choral community activities about the ecological crisis as our future unfolds.First you'll hear Inuk singer and composer Deantha Edmunds, who will talk about her experience with performances about the ecological crisis and reconciliation. She speaks for 10 minutes followed by conductor and choral music director Elise Naccarato, who will share her experience and insights with commissioning and producing choral works about social justice and ecological issues.After the panel presentations there were 3 questions from the audience. This first was about the predominance of women in climate change advocacy. Deantha Edmunds responded. The second intervention was from veteran choral music composer Donald Patriquin. As a composer and as a proactive composer, singers and we must all get the ecological message out to those who will inherit the earth. Who are those: the children. There has to be much more there because they absorb so much. They absorb much more than we do at our age. So let's compose works for children.'The final question was about programming and audience response to socially engaged music to which Elise Naccarato and Deantha Edmunds responded. Please see links in the episode notes for the panlists bios and note that the sound quality was not optimal because of the reverberation in the room so please pay close attention or consult the transcription when in doubt. *END NOTES FOR ALL EPISODESHere is a link for more information on season 5.

Plongez dans les univers captivants d'Elisapie et de Jeremy Dutcher. Laissez-vous enivrer par le souffle du Grand Nord et du New Brunswick avec les albums Inuktitut et Motewolonuwok. (Rediffusion) Avant de commencer l'émission, voici quelques infos sur les cultures autochtones du Canada :Il y a 3 branches différentes d'autochtones au Canada :- 1) Premières nations : Mohawk, mig'maq, Abenaki... (Jeremy Dutcher)- 2) Métis- 3) Inuit (Elisapie).Pour ne pas se tromper, on dit : Autochtone.La langue des Inuit est le Inuktitut : Inuk (singulier) / Inuit (pluriel)Elisapie se présente comme une Inuk du peuple inuit.Erreurs communes à éviter :Confondre les Innus et les Inuit - Les Innus viennent de la Côte Nord (Florent Vollant par exemple) / Les Inuit viennent du Grand Nord (Elisapie).Le Nunavik est la région tout au nord du Québec. Le Nunavut est un territoire canadien.On ne dit pas la culture autochtone mais les cultures autochtones.Il y a plus de 50 langues autochtones au Canada, il y a 11 nations autochtones au Québec incluant les Inuit : Abénakis, Anishinabeg, Atikamekw Nehirowisiw, Eeyou, Wendat, Innu, Inuit, Wolastoqiyik, Mi'qmaq, Mohawk-Kanien'kehá:ka et Naskapi. Première invitée : Elisapie pour la sortie de l'album InuktitutL'artiste venue du Grand Nord, Elisapie, est depuis plusieurs années une ambassadrice incontournable des voix autochtones, elle incarne une élégance musicale certaine et un féminisme en avance sur son temps.Avec ce nouveau disque, la chanteuse qui a grandi à Salluit, un petit village du Nunavik, la région la plus au nord du Québec revient sur son enfance et adolescence en explorant ses titres préférés qui l'ont vue s'émanciper en tant que femme et en tant qu'artiste. Le défi était grand de revisiter ces chansons intemporelles de groupes ou d'artistes légendaires. Pourtant, qui peut prétendre à autant de délicatesse que dans ce titre Uummati Attanarsimat (Heart of Glass), reprise de Blondie ou ce Taimangalimaaq (Time After Time), de Cindy Lauper ?Ces classiques réinterprétés de Queen, Pink Floyd ou Rolling Stones sont chantés en Inuktitut, sa langue natale. De cette traduction, découlent une force et une poésie inédite. Dans cette playlist de jeunesse, Elisapie raconte son parcours, ses joies et ses peines, sa détermination aussi tout en faisant résonner sa culture avec finesse, en conjuguant modernité et tradition. De ses années passées dans l'Arctique, Elisapie a gardé les souvenirs de ses premiers amours, a été témoin des effets du colonialisme sur sa collectivité et a dansé jusqu'au bout de la nuit au centre communautaire du village. À l'adolescence, elle se produit sur scène avec ses oncles, eux-mêmes membres de l'illustre groupe de rock'n'roll inuit Sugluk (aussi appelé Salluit Band).À 15 ans, elle travaille à la station de radio du village et parvient à décrocher une entrevue avec Metallica. Jeune femme brillante et ambitieuse, elle s'installe à Montréal pour étudier et, finalement, faire carrière dans la musique. Aujourd'hui, l'auteure-compositrice-interprète inuk est une figure incontournable au Canada. Activiste dévouée, Elisapie a créé et produit la première émission de télévision diffusée dans tout le Canada pour célébrer la Journée nationale des peuples autochtones. Son attachement inconditionnel à son territoire et à sa langue, se situe au cœur de son parcours créatif et donc de son œuvre. Cette langue millénaire incarne la rudesse de l'environnement et la beauté féroce du territoire inuit. Cet album est le fruit de tout cela : une constellation de souvenirs aussi sensibles qu'oniriques.À la sortie de Uummati Attanarsimat, Debbie Harry et Chris Stein, membres de Blondie, acclament toute la beauté de cette version de Heart of Glass.Titres joués - Uummati Attanarsimat (Heart of Glass) Blondie voir le clip - Qimmijuat (Wild Horses) Rolling Stones voir le clip - Isumagijunnaitaungituq (The Unforgiven) Metallica voir le clip - Qaisimalaurittuq (Wish You Were Here) Pink Floyd- Californiamut (Going to California) Led Zeppelin.► Album Inuktitut (Yotanka/Bonsound 2023). Puis la #SessionLive reçoit Jeremy Dutcher pour la sortie de l'album Motewolonuwok.5 ans après avoir remporté le Prix de musique Polaris avec son premier album, Jeremy Dutcher est de retour avec une exploration radieuse de l'expérience autochtone contemporaine et de la place qu'il y trouve. Avec des chansons dans la langue de son peuple, le Wolasotqey, mais aussi en anglais pour la première fois, Motewolonuwok surpasse tout ce que le musicien a créé auparavant, englobant les chansons traditionnelles, les ballades nocturnes et les orchestrations saisissantes. « Lorsque nous analysons nos histoires, incluant nos histoires tristes — quelle est la lumière qui en ressort malgré tout ? », s'interroge-t-il. « Je voulais chanter à propos de la souffrance, puis nous amener vers la beauté », confie Dutcher. Wolastoqiyik Lintuwakonawa, paru en 2018, a propulsé Dutcher aux plus hauts sommets du monde culturel canadien, des galas Polaris et Juno au panel de juges de Canada's Drag Race. Mais peu de gens auraient pu prédire ce succès : l'album a été conçu comme un projet de recherche muséale, explorant les enregistrements sur cylindres de cire des porteurs de chansons wolastoqiyik — les ancêtres de Dutcher. Ténor de formation, le musicien a finalement chanté en duo avec ces voix, répondant à sa propre communauté à travers de sublimes chansons réinventées.Cette fois-ci, Dutcher voulait faire un album plus intimiste. Une remise en question. Un disque inspiré d'une observation du penseur yupik Richard LaFortune— que « le point où deux discriminations se rencontrent peut être dangereux ». Cette intersection peut également engendrer de la résilience, et cette résilience peut devenir une force. « Motewolonuwok » est un mot wolasotqey ancien qui est habituellement traduit par « sorcières ». C'est aussi ainsi qu'on appelle les personnes bispirituelles de la région — des personnes qui sont autochtones et queer, comme Dutcher, et qui ont reçu un héritage traditionnel précis. « Ce sont “des personnes possédant une grande force spirituelle” », explique-t-il. « C'est un honneur, plutôt que quelque chose dont il faut avoir honte. » Dutcher a dévoilé son homosexualité à 12 ans, mais l'idée même d'un « coming-out » lui a été imposée par les structures colonialistes. « L'identité bispirituelle ou queer autochtone est si belle, car elle ne provient pas d'un concept de déviance. » Et pourtant, « une grande part de ce savoir ancien a été perdue », souligne-t-il, et en tant qu'enfant grandissant au Nouveau-Brunswick — et même en tant qu'adulte habitant désormais Montréal — il évolue toujours à travers un « espace médian ».The Land That Held Them, son hommage à « ceux qui nous ont quittés trop tôt », vibre d'une façon qui évoque Nina Simone et Anohni. Ailleurs, au lieu d'un son modeste et presque privé, Dutcher utilise le plus grand canevas possible : un orchestre complet, avec des arrangements de Owen Pallett et, sur des morceaux comme Sakom, une chorale de 12 voix, celles de pairs queer et amis de Dutcher. Le chanteur a loué un autobus pour les amener enregistrer à Kingston — des camarades de l'école de musique de Halifax, ainsi que des membres de la scène jazz de Toronto et de l'irrésistible Queer Song-book Orchestra.Écouter Motewolonuwok, c'est entendre un album aux voix multiples. Il y a celle de Dutcher, plus exposée que jamais. Il y a sa chorale impromptue. On entend des réinterprétations d'airs traditionnels des berges de la rivière Wolastoq, ainsi que des vers de la poète cherokee Qwoli Driskill. Dutcher chante en Wolasotqey— littéralement sa langue maternelle — mais aussi en anglais, la langue de son père (et celle qu'il parlait le plus durant sa jeunesse). Une langue partagée est un cadeau avec une intention complexe ; sur Motewolonuwok, Dutcher ne chante pas que pour sa communauté, mais aussi « directement pour le nouveau venu [colonisateur] », dans sa propre langue, pour raconter des histoires de deuil, de résilience et de renaissance. Faire de la musique est comme apprendre une langue, selon Dutcher— « il n'y a pas de conclusion particulière ». C'est plutôt « un déchaînement » - une constante exploration de ce qu'on veut dire et de comment on peut l'exprimer. Motewolonuwok est le prochain chapitre du musicien — un souhait collectif et une médecine réparatrice, une confession et un refrain.Titres interprétés dans le grand studio- Ultestakon Live RFI- Take My Hand, extrait de l'album voir le clip - Skichinuwihkuk Live RFI voir le clip. Line Up : Jeremy Dutcher, piano-voix.Traduction : Claire Simon.Son : Mathias Taylor, Benoît Letirant.► Album Motewolonuwok (Secret City Records 2023).

Plongez dans les univers captivants d'Elisapie et de Jeremy Dutcher. Laissez-vous enivrer par le souffle du Grand Nord et du New Brunswick avec les albums Inuktitut et Motewolonuwok. (Rediffusion) Avant de commencer l'émission, voici quelques infos sur les cultures autochtones du Canada :Il y a 3 branches différentes d'autochtones au Canada :- 1) Premières nations : Mohawk, mig'maq, Abenaki... (Jeremy Dutcher)- 2) Métis- 3) Inuit (Elisapie).Pour ne pas se tromper, on dit : Autochtone.La langue des Inuit est le Inuktitut : Inuk (singulier) / Inuit (pluriel)Elisapie se présente comme une Inuk du peuple inuit.Erreurs communes à éviter :Confondre les Innus et les Inuit - Les Innus viennent de la Côte Nord (Florent Vollant par exemple) / Les Inuit viennent du Grand Nord (Elisapie).Le Nunavik est la région tout au nord du Québec. Le Nunavut est un territoire canadien.On ne dit pas la culture autochtone mais les cultures autochtones.Il y a plus de 50 langues autochtones au Canada, il y a 11 nations autochtones au Québec incluant les Inuit : Abénakis, Anishinabeg, Atikamekw Nehirowisiw, Eeyou, Wendat, Innu, Inuit, Wolastoqiyik, Mi'qmaq, Mohawk-Kanien'kehá:ka et Naskapi. Première invitée : Elisapie pour la sortie de l'album InuktitutL'artiste venue du Grand Nord, Elisapie, est depuis plusieurs années une ambassadrice incontournable des voix autochtones, elle incarne une élégance musicale certaine et un féminisme en avance sur son temps.Avec ce nouveau disque, la chanteuse qui a grandi à Salluit, un petit village du Nunavik, la région la plus au nord du Québec revient sur son enfance et adolescence en explorant ses titres préférés qui l'ont vue s'émanciper en tant que femme et en tant qu'artiste. Le défi était grand de revisiter ces chansons intemporelles de groupes ou d'artistes légendaires. Pourtant, qui peut prétendre à autant de délicatesse que dans ce titre Uummati Attanarsimat (Heart of Glass), reprise de Blondie ou ce Taimangalimaaq (Time After Time), de Cindy Lauper ?Ces classiques réinterprétés de Queen, Pink Floyd ou Rolling Stones sont chantés en Inuktitut, sa langue natale. De cette traduction, découlent une force et une poésie inédite. Dans cette playlist de jeunesse, Elisapie raconte son parcours, ses joies et ses peines, sa détermination aussi tout en faisant résonner sa culture avec finesse, en conjuguant modernité et tradition. De ses années passées dans l'Arctique, Elisapie a gardé les souvenirs de ses premiers amours, a été témoin des effets du colonialisme sur sa collectivité et a dansé jusqu'au bout de la nuit au centre communautaire du village. À l'adolescence, elle se produit sur scène avec ses oncles, eux-mêmes membres de l'illustre groupe de rock'n'roll inuit Sugluk (aussi appelé Salluit Band).À 15 ans, elle travaille à la station de radio du village et parvient à décrocher une entrevue avec Metallica. Jeune femme brillante et ambitieuse, elle s'installe à Montréal pour étudier et, finalement, faire carrière dans la musique. Aujourd'hui, l'auteure-compositrice-interprète inuk est une figure incontournable au Canada. Activiste dévouée, Elisapie a créé et produit la première émission de télévision diffusée dans tout le Canada pour célébrer la Journée nationale des peuples autochtones. Son attachement inconditionnel à son territoire et à sa langue, se situe au cœur de son parcours créatif et donc de son œuvre. Cette langue millénaire incarne la rudesse de l'environnement et la beauté féroce du territoire inuit. Cet album est le fruit de tout cela : une constellation de souvenirs aussi sensibles qu'oniriques.À la sortie de Uummati Attanarsimat, Debbie Harry et Chris Stein, membres de Blondie, acclament toute la beauté de cette version de Heart of Glass.Titres joués - Uummati Attanarsimat (Heart of Glass) Blondie voir le clip - Qimmijuat (Wild Horses) Rolling Stones voir le clip - Isumagijunnaitaungituq (The Unforgiven) Metallica voir le clip - Qaisimalaurittuq (Wish You Were Here) Pink Floyd- Californiamut (Going to California) Led Zeppelin.► Album Inuktitut (Yotanka/Bonsound 2023). Puis la #SessionLive reçoit Jeremy Dutcher pour la sortie de l'album Motewolonuwok.5 ans après avoir remporté le Prix de musique Polaris avec son premier album, Jeremy Dutcher est de retour avec une exploration radieuse de l'expérience autochtone contemporaine et de la place qu'il y trouve. Avec des chansons dans la langue de son peuple, le Wolasotqey, mais aussi en anglais pour la première fois, Motewolonuwok surpasse tout ce que le musicien a créé auparavant, englobant les chansons traditionnelles, les ballades nocturnes et les orchestrations saisissantes. « Lorsque nous analysons nos histoires, incluant nos histoires tristes — quelle est la lumière qui en ressort malgré tout ? », s'interroge-t-il. « Je voulais chanter à propos de la souffrance, puis nous amener vers la beauté », confie Dutcher. Wolastoqiyik Lintuwakonawa, paru en 2018, a propulsé Dutcher aux plus hauts sommets du monde culturel canadien, des galas Polaris et Juno au panel de juges de Canada's Drag Race. Mais peu de gens auraient pu prédire ce succès : l'album a été conçu comme un projet de recherche muséale, explorant les enregistrements sur cylindres de cire des porteurs de chansons wolastoqiyik — les ancêtres de Dutcher. Ténor de formation, le musicien a finalement chanté en duo avec ces voix, répondant à sa propre communauté à travers de sublimes chansons réinventées.Cette fois-ci, Dutcher voulait faire un album plus intimiste. Une remise en question. Un disque inspiré d'une observation du penseur yupik Richard LaFortune— que « le point où deux discriminations se rencontrent peut être dangereux ». Cette intersection peut également engendrer de la résilience, et cette résilience peut devenir une force. « Motewolonuwok » est un mot wolasotqey ancien qui est habituellement traduit par « sorcières ». C'est aussi ainsi qu'on appelle les personnes bispirituelles de la région — des personnes qui sont autochtones et queer, comme Dutcher, et qui ont reçu un héritage traditionnel précis. « Ce sont “des personnes possédant une grande force spirituelle” », explique-t-il. « C'est un honneur, plutôt que quelque chose dont il faut avoir honte. » Dutcher a dévoilé son homosexualité à 12 ans, mais l'idée même d'un « coming-out » lui a été imposée par les structures colonialistes. « L'identité bispirituelle ou queer autochtone est si belle, car elle ne provient pas d'un concept de déviance. » Et pourtant, « une grande part de ce savoir ancien a été perdue », souligne-t-il, et en tant qu'enfant grandissant au Nouveau-Brunswick — et même en tant qu'adulte habitant désormais Montréal — il évolue toujours à travers un « espace médian ».The Land That Held Them, son hommage à « ceux qui nous ont quittés trop tôt », vibre d'une façon qui évoque Nina Simone et Anohni. Ailleurs, au lieu d'un son modeste et presque privé, Dutcher utilise le plus grand canevas possible : un orchestre complet, avec des arrangements de Owen Pallett et, sur des morceaux comme Sakom, une chorale de 12 voix, celles de pairs queer et amis de Dutcher. Le chanteur a loué un autobus pour les amener enregistrer à Kingston — des camarades de l'école de musique de Halifax, ainsi que des membres de la scène jazz de Toronto et de l'irrésistible Queer Song-book Orchestra.Écouter Motewolonuwok, c'est entendre un album aux voix multiples. Il y a celle de Dutcher, plus exposée que jamais. Il y a sa chorale impromptue. On entend des réinterprétations d'airs traditionnels des berges de la rivière Wolastoq, ainsi que des vers de la poète cherokee Qwoli Driskill. Dutcher chante en Wolasotqey— littéralement sa langue maternelle — mais aussi en anglais, la langue de son père (et celle qu'il parlait le plus durant sa jeunesse). Une langue partagée est un cadeau avec une intention complexe ; sur Motewolonuwok, Dutcher ne chante pas que pour sa communauté, mais aussi « directement pour le nouveau venu [colonisateur] », dans sa propre langue, pour raconter des histoires de deuil, de résilience et de renaissance. Faire de la musique est comme apprendre une langue, selon Dutcher— « il n'y a pas de conclusion particulière ». C'est plutôt « un déchaînement » - une constante exploration de ce qu'on veut dire et de comment on peut l'exprimer. Motewolonuwok est le prochain chapitre du musicien — un souhait collectif et une médecine réparatrice, une confession et un refrain.Titres interprétés dans le grand studio- Ultestakon Live RFI- Take My Hand, extrait de l'album voir le clip - Skichinuwihkuk Live RFI voir le clip. Line Up : Jeremy Dutcher, piano-voix.Traduction : Claire Simon.Son : Mathias Taylor, Benoît Letirant.► Album Motewolonuwok (Secret City Records 2023).

Just as the rest of us are putting away holiday lights and sweeping up New Year's confetti, a tradition like no other gearing up in the Inuit villages of Labrador and Newfoundland, Canada. Every January 6, the Nalujuit come out of the icy sea to visit Inuit children. They have terrifying faces and carry harpoons and other menacing staffs. They give out treats to children they deem good, but chase those who are bad. It's a beloved Labrador Inuit tradition that's also documented by an Inuk filmmaker.

This week, ‘tis the season for traditions and gathering around songs and stories. Indigenous people love a good story! Especially during the long cold nights of winter. For Anishinabeg and Gwich'in Knowledge Keeper Jack Hoggarth, sharing traditional stories like those of the Anishinaabe spirit Waynaboozhoo is a connection to our ancestors. Community, friends and families would come together to tell these tales, passing them down through generations and creating winter-time traditions that continue to this day. Cree Métis musician Don Amero has been growing with his Christmas concert Amero Little Christmas for 15 years. Local holiday shows have become traditions in communities across Turtle Island. In Winnipeg, that means an evening with Don Amero, his band and his glitter ball suit jacket. Inuk classical singer, Deantha Edmunds enchants with a holiday concert of her own that honours a 200-year-old tradition of singing carols in Inuttitut. Songs and Stories of Christmas in Labrador took place on a wintery December night in St. John's, Newfoundland. Deantha invited her 13 year old daughter Annabelle to sing along with her.

When you go to Miami each year, you are hoping to discover something new, something fresh, an artist that changes the way you look at the contemporary art landscape. For Radio Juxtapoz, we were able to go North while heading South, where we hosted a live panel conversation with Saimaiyu Akesuk, an Iqaluit born, Kinngait-based artist whose distinctive patterns and oil pastel animal drawings drew the eye of Canada Goose and the Canada Goose Art Collection. Last week at the Canada Goose pop-up store in Miami's Design District, and in an evolution of its longstanding program, Canada Goose commissioned Saimaiyu to create three new print works, with proceeds from the sales of the works to benefit Inuit artists and communities across Canada. On the occasion,and on this episode of the Radio Juxtapoz podcast, Jux editor Evan Pricco spoke with Saimaiyu and Canada Goose Art Collection curator, Natalie MacNamara to discuss Saimaiyu's early influences in her community, her grandfather's lasting impression on her pastel drawings and the inspirations behind her birds and bears.

From museums and monuments to letters and laughs shared around the dinner table, Indigenous veterans are being remembered across Turtle Island. Take a walk with us through the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa, where Canada's military history is told. Indigenous Military Historian Danielle Teillet is our guide. She tells us why so many chose to fight, what they were fighting for and recounts some of the common experiences she's heard from Indigenous veterans. Then we head to Labrador where Heather Campbell passes on the stories of her great great uncle John Shiwak, an Inuk soldier in the first World War. Heather knows his story well because she has been learning about him since she was a little girl. To Heather he is “Uncle John” and her family has been honoring his memory for over one hundred years. And, we land south of the medicine line in Exeter, Rhode Island to visit the Rhode Island Veterans Memorial Cemetery where a beautiful stone monument honouring Indigenous Veterans now stands. That's thanks to Lorén Spears, co-chair of the Honouring Indigenous Veterans of Turtle Island Committee and the executive director of the Tomaquag Museum. The monument is the first to honour Indigenous Veterans, even though Native Americans have fought in every war since confederation.
