The Indigenous people of Turtle Island have long thrived by utilizing the bountiful resources provided by the land in a way that sustains a healthy and balanced way of life. Their beliefs and values were deeply rooted in a respect for Mother Earth and the Creator of all things, guiding them in all aspects of life. These beliefs and values have been passed down through generations and have served the inhabitants well since the beginning of their time on Turtle Island.
Music has played a vital role in preserving and maintaining the Indigenous way of life on Turtle Island. From birth to death, music has always been an integral part of Indigenous culture, providing songs for every occasion. Turtle Island Music has worked to keep the traditional foundations of Indigenous culture and values alive through the preservation of traditional songs and music.
