By Sera Clark, Samantha Brown, Nicole Hay and Adriane Miller

Introduction

Our virtual cultural exhibit delves into the Indigenous and English elements in Karl Forbes’ musical composition, creating a harmonious blend that reflects his deep connection to Anishinaabemowin. Forbes’ profound embrace of the Anishinaabe language enriches the song, adding layers of cultural significance and storytelling. Through our interview, we aim to explore how Forbes skillfully navigates the intersection of Indigenous and English musical expressions, contributing to a broader conversation about cultural identity and linguistic heritage in contemporary music through Ojibwe culture and language.
