Digging Roots breathe life into songs from their land, Turtle Island, to raise their voices in solidarity with a global chorus of Indigenous artists, activists and change-makers. For over a decade, two-time JUNO Award winners Digging Roots have traveled the world with a joyful message of resistance, celebrating Anishinabe and Onkwehón:we traditions of round dance and interconnectedness interwoven with the bedrock sounds of blues, soul and rock ‘n’ roll. Founding duo ShoShona Kish and Raven Kanatakta, have built a home for a talented community of players and collaborators that now includes their son, drummer Skye Polson. More than a band, Diggings Roots have taken their place at the frontline of the fight for equity and representation in the arts, with involvement in industry advocacy and organization, including the International Indigenous Music Summit and Ishkōdé Records, to empower arts communities Worldwide.
