about

This song was inspired by an interview that I conducted with the late Joey Pierre from the Penticton Indian Band.I asked him to tell me a story of his resilience. I asked him what the apology meant to him.
He told me that the apology meant nothing to him, and that the money meant nothing to him.
He pointed down the road at the Catholic Church. He said, "I have nothing against God. I know how much money has gone into renovating and maintaining that church. I have to drive by it every single to and from my home. It is a reminder of all of the years that I spent in residential school." He said, "If they were to tear down that church and build houses for the people. This is a song of resilience and also of reconciliation as we all move forward.
Biography: One of Northern BC’s fastest growing recognizable Indigenous Artists, Kym Gouchie is fostering change through her music and art. Her voice can be heard around First Nations and woman’s issues, the Highway of Tears, Red Dress Campaign, using her music for reconciliation, education and awareness. In August 2015, her single 'Sister Rain' reached #1 on the NCIFM National Aboriginal Top 40 Music Countdown and 'For The People' was selected to be included on the Truth & Reconciliation Compilation CD which was created to educate people about the Canadian Residential School experience.
