This is part of a Global News Made In Saskatoon story leading up to the NBA All Star Game in Toronto in February of 2016 where Nelly Furtado was accompanied by Tony Duncan who played a custom flute I made for him specifically for this very special occasion. I feel very honored and humbled to have had the opportunity to make a flute for Tony.

This is an APTN National News story from 2016 entitled Meet the man behind Nelly Furtado's NBA All Star Game national anthem featuring Tony Duncan. I am humbled and honored to have been asked by Tony Duncan to make him a custom flute that he played to accompany Nelly Furtado as she sang O Canada at the NBA All Star Game in February of 2016.

This video features one of the performances of the Awasis Orff Ensemble from Pleasant Hill Community School in Saskatoon. The group performed at the Carl Orff Canada's national conference in Calgary in April of 2004. The students had to make the commitment to work all year long to earn the privilege of performing in Calgary. The story was written by Joseph Naytowhow, Richard Dubé and Jackie Brown. It tells the story of how children were stolen away from their families during the residential school era and how it has impacted families for generations. Miskasowin is Cree for "you are asked to know yourself".

This video features students from Pleasant Hill Community School performing for CTV's Indigenous Circle back in 2004. I wrote the song for the musical production "Miskasowin" - Search for Truth. The play was written by Joseph Naytowhow, Jackie Brown and myself. It tells the story of how children were stolen away from their families during the residential school era. Please email me if you would like a copy of the music and Orff arrangement for Tell Me Why.
