Inspired by a dream I had, my short film cuts between a fall-time scene, an arctic full moon scene, and a thawing caribou heart. Written and sung in Dinjii Zhuh K’yaa, the Gwich’in language, it is the first music video of its kind. 

“Our Indigenous languages are alive and just like us, they are adapting to this mainstream culture. As a film student I don’t see enough Indigenous language representation in the media. Dinjìi Zhuh K’yàa is so poetic and beautiful that I figured it was time to highlight that. I want to encourage language learning, and show our Elders our languages belong. Through my music video I wanted to show the potential our languages can hold in modern spaces. “
