Since winning the Polaris for Wolastoqiyik and collaborating with other artists including Buffy St. Marie, "Dutcher returns with a moving and radiant exploration of contemporary Indigeneity and his place within it, presenting his most expansive work yet. The Motewolonuwok album inspiration began with a poem by Cherokee writer Qwo-li Driskill. "From the heavy debris of loss, together we emerge," a singular story of a two-spirit kin who was taken too soon, and calls us all together to witness, celebrate and heal. Jeremy sings in Wolastoqey -- his native tongue, considered an endangered language -- anchoring his work while he continues to reimagine the song traditions of his people from the banks of the Wolastoq River, just like he had previously done on his first full-length. The new album also marks Dutcher's first time writing and singing in English."--Publisher's website.
