A youth-focused album in three Indigenous languages as well as English will be presented tonight in Prince George.
Shun Beh Nats’ujeh: We Are Healing Through Songs, is a project Kym Gouchie conceptualized with Rae Spoon years ago. The album was quietly released on June 13th 2024 on Gouchie’s mother’s birthday.
The youth-focused album shares lyrics in Dakelh, Secwepemctsin, English, and Cree, all of which reflect Gouchie’s ancestry and personal journey to asserting her identity as a Lheidli T’enneh woman. An all star cast of accomplished Western Canadian producers and musicians joined Gouchie for this complex project, most of which are joining her on stage tonight.
Local philanthropist Selen Alpay & Integris Credit Union have supported a number of school groups to see the production. Attendees are encouraged to arrive on time for bannock and jam.
