I'm working on my Master's degree in Ethnomusicology at Carleton University in Canada. I recently read your article published in Spirit Magazine, it was really great. (to clear this up, I - junior simpson - only contributed some things, and DID NOT write the article)

I'm working on a research project right now and looking at the change in folk music foms in Canada. For the last 6 months or so I've been looking into Hip-Hop performed by Canadian First Nations artists. It's really great. After reading your article I didn't figure I could go any further in my research without talking to you.

If you have any time to spare to answer a couple of questions for me I'd really appreciate it. And if there is anything I can do here to further your work please let me know.
