\u00ab\u00a0Anicinabemoan<\/em>. I would like our people to understand and use our language at home. [\u2026] There are other Anishinaabe communities who do not use their native language. I would also like to involve other youth. There are young people who have talent, love music and want to make music. \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Brazeau sings and accompanies himself on the guitar, but he also plays the piano and bass guitar. He began playing the guitar after he found an instrument left behind at his cousin\u2019s place and became fascinated by its broad spectrum of sound possibilities. Later, he found a book of guitar tablature and used it to learn the basics of guitar. In his teen years, his interest for music grew into a passion, which over the years transformed into a mission. Brazeau wishes to use his gifts as a musician to develop projects capable of bringing the members of his community together, but also to write songs that reach out to all the Anishinaabe communities and help them speak their native language on a daily basis. <\/p>\n

\n

\u00ab\u00a0[Playing music] has a therapeutic effect on me.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Brazeau wrote and composed his first songs in his early twenties, in French, chiefly to entertain the people around him. His music moved them much more than he had expected. It gave him a powerful means of expression and the strength to address problems around him. His community suggested that he should write in the Anishinaabe language. He was always able to rely on their support whenever in doubt and turn to an elder when unable to find the right word. At the beginning, writing in Anishinaabe did not come easy, but he persevered. When he saw how people around him reacted to his work and the emotion generated by his songs in the Anishinaabe language, he became more confident. He wrote his first song in the Anishinaabe language in 1992; it was called Moshum <\/em>(grandfather). He wrote several songs to get the young people to reflect on various aspects of life. Today, Brazeau tries to write about Anishinaabe cultural practices with the aim of documenting them and promoting their beauty. <\/p>\n

\n

\u00ab\u00a0I write about our traditional activities, for which the young people have less motivation in pursuing. These activities are in the process of being forgotten\u2026especially trapping.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

To compose his music, Brazeau brings together members of his community, and asks them to share memories; he pays particular attention to their concerns and ideas. Music is like cultural knowledge: experience takes its full meaning once shared and disseminated.<\/p>\n

In the fall of 2019, Ivan Pascal engaged in vocational training studies in ore processing. He is fully committed to being a father to his children and to making music more accessible to the youth of Lac-Simon. “First, we must try\u2026always!”<\/p>\n<\/div>
