DREAMer project creates music with students from Senator Myles Venne School
The DREAMer Tribal Showcase was at Lac La Ronge Indian Band’s Senator Myles Venne School Monday introducing students to the art of making music.
“The project was put together in partnership with Thunderchild First Nation a couple of years ago,” said Project Director Adam Jack. “The idea was to be able to bring music out to the communities where the students can have their own experience … being part of the song writing process and what it takes to have a career in music.”
Those delivering the project are members of the band The Reckless Famous from Saskatoon and Senator was the seventh stop on their provincial tour. The project was made possible through a Jordan’s Principal grant from Health Canada and the crew has already visited communities such as Keeseekoose First Nation, Little Pine First Nation, Makwa Sahgaiehcan First Nation, Pelican Lake First Nation and Sweetgrass First Nation. The showcase still has a few stops left and Jack said so far he’s been surprised to see the musical talent by young people across Saskatchewan.
