Iskwew

.. .. ..Iskwew (is-kway-yo) is Sandy Scofield (Metis), Brenda Hanson (Klahoose, Coast Salish) and Kym Gouchie (Carrier, Cree, Shuswap). Glida Morgan (Sliammon) joins us on stage from time to time. Together, we perform and create songs in the plains, west coast and northern interior traditions. We have performed at the First Annual Gathering of Indigenous Peoples of the Americas in Sonora, Mexico in October 2007), Third International Chihuahua Festival in the cities of Chihuahua and Paquime, Mexico (August 2007), the First Peoples' International Festival in Pau, France (June 2006), and innumerable Canadian Festivals and Cultural Events. Individually, we each come from long lines of musicians and are seasoned performers in our own right. Iskwew is currently in the studio recording our debut CD with an anticipated release in Spring 2008 on Arbor Records.
