A Connecticut singer is taking Native art and culture to new places. He invited Indigenous musicians – as well as one of the world’s most famous cello players, Yo-Yo Ma – to perform at sunrise on the banks of the Connecticut River. The performance highlights Native peoples’ deep connection to nature and water.

In Chapter 4 of “Still Here,” we take you to the sunrise performance designed to “welcome the dawn with music.”
