Over the years Native America has had the chance to experience what Blackfeet and Suquamish author, attorney, activist and poet Gyasi Ross has had to say through news outlets and his book. This month we bring you the opportunity to hear Gyasi through his new album “Isskootsik (Before Here Was Here)” off of Cabin Games label. It’s a blend of spoken word poetry that opens up stories about life and lessons learned all set to a rhythmic hip-hop sound. People like Winona LaDuke and Marlon Brando are thrown into the mix of words on a couple of the tracks. We invite you to join us as we visit with our December Music Maker, Gyasi Ross.
