Qacung Blanchett of the Inuit-soul music group Pamyua (and the Cultural Heritage Education Manager for Central Council Tlingit & Haida, board member of Advancing Indigenous Performance program by the Western Arts Alliance, and advocate for Alaska Native people and artists...) chats with Yngvil Vatn Guttu about being civically active musicians -- artists who are using their passion for culture and community to make a difference everywhere they can, from their personal to professional lives. They also discuss the serendipitous origins of Áak'w Rock Indigenous Music Festival and how to make a living as a full time artist in Alaska. You can check out what Qacung and Pamyua are up to by visiting their website, pamyua.com.
