Donita grew up singing gospel songs with her mom's side of the family, the Poitras clan from Moose Mountain, Alberta (beside Kehewin Cree Nation). You will hear the sounds of fiddle, guitar, piano and harmonies and even get a couple featured songs that include her daughter Hayden. This album is a tribute to her parents and Kokom & Mosom (grandparents) Mary & Lloyd Poitras.
Too much of anything... is bad for you. We all suffer from it and work on trying to have balance or moderation in our lives. Sometimes its just worth singing the blues for.
Donita’s father is a survivor of a residential school (as well as several other Cree & Metis family members), and so she needed a way to process the feelings that flooded her when the Kamloops Residential School mass grave story made the headlines. Not because she was shocked about the news but that it took, as she states, "the bones of our children" for Canadians to feel the truth of the large number of children who died at the schools.
Do you feel the ancestors in your bones? Are they calling you to protect your home? Do you feel called to listen to more? Listen to Ancestors in My Bones now.
