I'm Not Lost

Native American women are more likely to be abducted, assaulted, and murdered than any other population group, and the perpetrators are rarely charged or convicted. Each verse of this selection  cries out for missing mothers, daughters, sisters, and Two Spirit (transgender) loved ones using Native words and phrases from across North America: Abenaki, Odawa/Ojibwe, Lakota, and Navajo/Dine. The performance of this piece is more than the singing of a song. It is an expression of longing and grief for those whose voices have been silenced.
