In this episode of Good Medicine, with Jeremy Paul, also known as Saltwater Hank…

We explore the themes of Authenticity and Indigenous Representation in Music.

Jeremy recounts his journey of rediscovering his Tsimshian language and culture through the medium of music. He underscores the crucial role of language immersion and its profound impact on his life. Drawing inspiration from his community activities—fishing, tree planting, and berry picking—Jeremy’s music reflects these experiences and aims to motivate others to reconnect with their own cultural roots. He highlights the importance of staying genuine and true to oneself, even if it requires letting go of previous identities.

We learn:

• Music can be a powerful tool for expressing and preserving indigenous languages.
• Authenticity and staying true to oneself are important in representing one’s community.
