PEOPLE OF THE SEA- CHRISTIE LEE C

This is my personal reaction to waking up to the news of the Orlando shootings. It is a very personal essay, it is about hate in America, it is about needing to respect each other. It is about changing how we use carelessly use words. 

Orlando Shootings -This Is What Hate Is

The Dakhká Khwáan Dancers and DASH present Deconstruct Reconstruct Remixes, a fusion of First Nation Tlingit song, electronic beats and bass. The Dakhká Khwáan Dancers work to bring cultural revitalization and social transformation within their communities by reclaiming their languages through song, drumming, dance, and storytelling. Dash has worked with them to produce this innovative music which honours both the traditional and the contemporary.

We Hold The Rock

The Dakhka Khwaan dancers have co-written and performed this song with our wonderful friend Matt Epp, a Canadian singer and song writer who we met at the Atlin Music Festival in 2017 and instantly connected with.  This song has helped to heal our broken hearts and to recognize the legend and legacy our beautiful elder left for us.  She is so loved and missed by all of us and we hope this song will bring some healing to all who knew and loved our dear Guna.  We have built our entire performance for that night around the release of this song and are so happy to have Boyd Benjamin, Kevin Barr and Dene Zagi share the stage with us!

"Six Foot Babe" Lyrics:

I’m breakin’ the rules of the jungle they say
Yes sir I am with my Six Foot Babe
Say how do you do that and in which way
I say its none of your business she’s my Six Foot Babe
Most of the guys want short little things,
But all I want is my Six Foot Babe

Everyone says that they got it made
But they don’t have what I do, Six Foot Babe
Six Foot Babe drive me outta my mind
Reaches up for the cupboards over my head each time
Most of the guys want short little things,
But all I want is my Six Foot Babe

You can point her out if you’re lost in a crowd
She can pick you up when you’re feelin’ down
She can fix your frown if your skies are too grey
With two-inch heels she’s my Six Foot Babe
Most of the guys want short little things
But all I want is my Six Foot Babe
