Jeremy Dutcher was giving a passionate acceptance speech at the Juno Awards pre-telecast, including a message to the prime minister about reconciliation, when he was played off the stage. "A nation-to-nation relationship does not look like sending militarized police force into unceded territory and a nation-to-nation relationship does not look like, in 2019, our communities still on boiled-water advisory." It takes music. Some powerful words from Indigenous Music Album of the Year winner Jeremy Dutcher here in his post-award Q&A. "Our music does deserve to be on these stages and be seen."
