Two talented artists from Opaskwayak Cree Nation (OCN) are earning international recognition for their work. Rhonda Head and Gabe Constant teamed up together to create a music video called Island Dreams, which represented not only an experience of being in another country, but gave the opportunity to showcase Indigenous people from that area as well.
“I went to Belize for Christmas two years ago, and it’s such an amazing country with beautiful lands and people,” said singer and songwriter Rhonda Head. “I was about seven days into my trip, when I was sitting in my room alone and all these images came to me of my trip. I grabbed a piece of paper and began writing about all the images that came to me. Before I knew it, I wrote a song.
