Jeremy Dutcher
Jeremy Dutcher is a Canadian singer and musicologist.[1] He is most noted for his album Wolastoqiyik Lintuwakonawa, which was a longlisted nominee for the 2018 Polaris Music Prize.[2]
A Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) member of the Tobique First Nation in New Brunswick, Dutcher studied music and anthropology at Dalhousie University.[3] He recorded Wolastoqiyik Lintuwakonawa following a research project on old archival recordings of traditional Maliseet songs at the Canadian Museum of Civilization, many of which are no longer being passed down to contemporary Maliseet youth.[4]
Dutcher identifies as two-spirit.[5]
