Jeremy Dutcher

In the past year, along with support from FACTOR, Jeremy saw the release of his debut album and language reclamation project, Wolastoqiyik Lintuwakonawa.

With fewer than 100 fluent speakers of his First Nation language left, the album created an accessible project entirely in Wolastoqey that stands as a testament to the vibrant state of Indigenous arts and culture in Canada, happening right now.

This release would not have come to the full fruition it saw, without the support of FACTOR’s Juried Sound Recording program. The program enabled Jeremy to record and market the project to its fullest potential in reaching as many audiences across Canada as possible with his important cultural touchstone.
