From Trois Rivières, Québec // Moteskano is sung entirely in Atikamekw, and Niquay spent three years working on it, including rigorous research and consultation with elders and "techno-linguists" or "three Atikamekw women who specialize in the field." Niquay says, "Our nation has three distinct communities that all speak Atikamekw slightly differently. I have nephews and nieces who live in the city, and who are slowly losing the use of our language, and this affects me a lot. It's important for me to sing properly in our language."
