Bury the Hatchet double music CD features The Stolen Sea (Nate Meng, Allison Lenz, Hannah Edlén, John Hitchcock), Emily Arthur, Jason Cutnose, Ryan Lansing, Caitlin Mead, Chad Oliver, Juanita Pahdopony, Johnny Reid, Justen Renyer, and Anneliese Valdes.
Through oral history and music, the Bury the Hatchet music recording intertwines storytelling and Kiowa & Comanche songs with soundscapes of steel guitar, cello, clarinet, accordion and guitars. The remix of archival recorded voices (oral histories) challenges the western perspective of the written word by reinforcing indigenous views of oral history passed on from generation to generation through storytelling. Thus storytelling becomes a format for the transmission of embodied truths and untold histories.
