“I think that as a young Native person I’m very militantly anti-Christian, because of the harm the church has done to my people and marginalized people all over the world, infiltrating and decimating indigenous spiritual practices,” says omallythealley.
One reason the Native connection to jazz was so hidden, says Obomsawin, is that many of its key players were also Black. “If you’re Black, people think it’s impossible for you to be anything else authentically. And the flip side for Native folks who aren’t Black but also don’t look like what Pocahontas looks like there might be an assumption that we’re not Native as well, so it really shines a light on anti-Blackness as well as the stereotyping of what the Native aesthetic is.
Obomsawin explains that Indigenous musicians learned to play brass instruments brought to their villages by missionaries - “It’s jazz like jazz — how did folks in the South get these European instruments? It was through military bands or the church, and it’s the same on reservations across the US and Canada.
