She:kon Everyone - I'm sitting here in Maryland with Raven who is helping me get on this blog. Sorry, I've been a bit behind the beat on this. Today we had a fantastic FNCI board meeting with
our fearless leaders Georgia, Jewell, and Pame Kingfisher (who did a fantastic job moderating), R. Carlos, Raven, Brent, and me, with lots of new members: Steven Alvarez, Arvel Bird, Lisa Long, Jennifer Stevens and Ron Warren. It was a very productive meeting with good joking, too.
Last night's concert was awesome with great variety that reflected so many composers, ideas, and the variety that we all reflect as living, native artists.
Thanks to Raven for helping me get on this blog. Hope more people start talking.

It was great, and I really enjoyed it as well. So yes, I am here at this blog too!
Hi to all FNCI folks and all Indigenous creators of new music and preserving the old. We did indeed have a wonderful, productive mini convening of available Advisory Members to work on moving forward with our 3 year strategic plan. And as Dawn Avery stated there was a wonderful camaraderie and loads of laughter. It truly was a great meeting. Now, the original purpose of this blog was to engage Common Ground grantees in a dialogue around their respective projects and to share with others in the field the ups, the downs, tips of their respective trade, etc., especially for younger and emerging Native musical artists. FNCI is seeing a major impact in the field of Indigenous music and we want to share your successes and stories as far and wide as possible. So please join us in doing so. Warm regards, Georgia Wettlin Larsen
FNCI Director
