Elexa Dawson is creating music, videos and indigenous issue updates on patreon

I’m on a creative journey that retraces the steps of the ancestors and collects those things left along the path, both tools for the future and trauma from the past to be healed in the present. It consciously situates my life in a deliberate position to be a good descendant, and a good ancestor.

I’m producing this album that focuses on my perspective and experience of being a white-passing, mixed-blood native woman in the Midwest, of pursuing good relationships with all people and entities, of preserving culture and respectfully sharing whenever appropriate.

“Music is Medicine”, the title of the work and the foundation that I am building this year’s work upon, is an affirmation of the value of art in healing present and ancestral trauma, a value that is not well represented in our money systems. I’m grateful for the support of my community and the reinforcement that you believe what I believe, that music is worth the time and effort of the artist, and has the power to heal.
