美逖斯(Metis)計劃:當他們醒來時
地方性遺產
搖滾、嘻哈舞曲、爵士樂和美逖斯(Metis)。你聽過前三種風格，但是你曾否聽過美逖斯音樂？這些音樂風格的共同處是它們皆深受其他的音樂類型影響。美逖斯音樂混合了二種文化：美國原住民節奏和歐洲曲調。
美逖斯人是歐洲毛皮商人和居住在美國及加拿大平原上的印地安女人的後裔。美逖斯音樂在述說故事，而且人們可用它來伴舞。美逖斯音樂的主要演奏樂器是小提琴，其他樂器還包括口琴、手鼓、嘴豎琴 (口琴) 和手指工具，如：骨頭或湯匙。
一個位在蒙大拿海勒拿的音樂計畫針對美逖斯小提琴音樂的重要性進行探討。計畫的名稱是"當他們醒來時"
(When They Awake)，源自於一位美逖斯人的老師、作家、領袖和英雄的加拿大人路易士(Louis
Riel)所作的預言。他說
"我的族人將沈睡100年，但是當他們醒來時，藝術家們必須歸還他們的精神"。也許他所謂的藝術家就是音樂家。
Rock and roll, hip-hop, jazz and Metis. You know about the first three styles of music, but have you ever heard of Metis music? All these styles have something in common -- they are influenced by other types of music. Metis music comes from a mixture of two cultures -- Native American rhythms and European tunes.
The Metis people are the descendants of European fur traders and Indian women who lived on the Plains in both the United States and Canada. Metis music tells a story. And people can dance to it. The fiddle is the major instrument used in Metis music. Other instruments include the harmonica, the hand drum, the mouth harp (harmonica), and finger instruments such as bones or spoons.
In Helena, Montana, a musical project explores the importance of Metis fiddle music. "When They Awake" is the name of the project, and it is based on a prediction by Canadian Louis Riel, a teacher, writer, leader and hero to the Metis people, who said, "My people will sleep for 100 years, but when they awake, it will be the artists who give them their spirit back." It's possible that some of the artists he was thinking of were musicians.
