Listen to “Tales From The Big Canoe” the last Wednesday of every month at 6 pm or the following Friday at 11 am, to hear our culture, traditions and music by Indigenous Artists, about services and programs for indigenous peoples, interesting stories, or events that impact the daily lives of Indigenous people across Turtle Island.
Larry enjoys incorporating music from a diverse selection of Indigenous artists into the program. The music styles range from Contemporary to the Blues and more. You might even get to hear some Métis fiddle music that will make you tap your toes and want to play the spoons!
