It introduces Obomsawin’s musical influences—American roots, rock, and jazz—and connects their 2022 debut album Sweet Tooth to Indigenous contributions to blues and jazz. The guide also explains the Odanak and Wôbanakiak background, land-justice context through Bomazeen Land Trust and “rematriation,” and explores themes of language, tradition, and storytelling through music.","Mali Obomsawin  \nFlynn Student Matinee Study Guide  \nTable of Contents:  \nAbout Mali Obomsawin About the Odanak First Nation Music: Influences, Traditions, Instruments Reflection Questions Resources  \nAbout Mali Obomsawin (pronounced MAH-lee Oh-BOMB-suh-win)  \nMali Obomsawin is an award-winning bassist, singer, composer, and bandleader from Abenaki First Nation at Odanak. Mali, who uses both they/them and she/her pronouns, carries several music traditions in the music they perform and write, including American roots, rock, and jazz. Their debut album “Sweet Tooth,” which was released in 2022, foregrounds the ongoing history of Indigenous contributions to blues and jazz, threading them together with hymns, folk songs, and field recordings of Mali’s relatives at Odanak First Nation.  \nMali was raised on ancestral land in central Maine and in Québec on the Odanak First Nations Reserve, and studied jazz at Dartmouth College. In addition to being a musician, Mali is a community organizer dedicated to land justice and tribal sovereignty.  \nAbout the Odanak First Nation  \nThe word Odanak, in the Wabanaki language, means the site of a village where people live. The Wabanaki village called Odanak today is located in Quebec, in the Saint Lawrence River Valley.  \nThe term Wôbanakiak includes many culturally related groups of Indigenous peoples who are the original inhabitants of present-day Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, parts of Massachusetts, and parts of southern Canada. Wôbanakiak translates to “people of the dawn.” Different spellings and pronunciations ofWôbanakiak, including Wabanaki and Abenaki, result from English, French, and Dutch attempts to pronounce the native language.  \nHistorians have often confused the identity of the peoples and tribes that make up the Wôbanakiak, because so many of them shifted their residence during the 17th and 18th centuries when they were forcibly removed from their homelands by European invasion. Many tribes are represented in the Indigenous people who moved to Odanak. The term Wôbanakiak includes all of the Indigenous people from what has come to be known as northern New England who have called Odanak home. Today, around 400 Wôbanaki live in the communities of Odanak and nearby Wôlinak. The entire population of the Abenaki nation has doubled in the last decade, and currently stands at roughly 2,100 members.  \nAerial view of the community of Odanak today  \nFor the Wôbanaki, their homeland, Ndakinna, is animate, communal territory, supporting both human and non-human inhabitants in reciprocal social and spiritual relationships. Present-day Wôbanaki are working to preserve their land, traditions, and future through initiatives includingthe Bomazeen Land Trust, which was co-founded in 2020 by Mali Obomsawin. It is the first ever Wabanaki land trust, whose mission is the rematriation, perpetual protection, and healing of ancestral Wabanaki spaces. The organization seeks to empower Wabanaki and BIPOC  \ncommunities with land access and the traditional skills and knowledge of their ancestors. They also collaborate with conservation groups, land trusts, and private landholders, and provide education to the general public about Wabanaki studies, history, and ongoing issues.  \nYou might not be familiar with the word“rematriation,” but maybe you’ve heard the word “repatriation,” meaning to return someone to their own country or land. In Wabanaki culture, as in many Indigenous cultures, women are recognized as carriers of land and water wisdom, which is why Bomazeen Land Trust and other Indigenous organizations with similar missions use the feminine term “rematriation” when referring to the concept of returning land and resources to Indigenous peoples.  \nMembers of the Bomazeen Land Trust planting seeds  \nFor more about the importance of the rematriation work of organizations like the Bomazeen Land Trust, listen to “Healing the Land IS Healing Ourselves,” an episode of the podcast All My Relationsm, and expl","cbCaioVW7F8iGyAw","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioVW7F8iGyAw","pdf",451461,1,6,"English","en",105,"# About Mali Obomsawin\n## About the Odanak First Nation\n## Music: Influences, Traditions, Instruments\n# Reflection Questions\n## Resources","[{\"question\":\"Who is Mali Obomsawin and what roles do they hold in music and community work?\",\"answer\":\"Mali Obomsawin is an award-winning bassist, singer, composer, and bandleader from Abenaki First Nation at Odanak.
