Son of the Sun

Independent shop in BallardDirections

Available from Light in the Attic Records when we last checked, in the last two days. Sold from the shop’s own store; the price there is the one that counts.

Considering the enormous cultural influence of musician, filmmaker, artist, activist, politician, poet, visionary William “Willie” Dunn (1941-2013), the Montreal-born trailblazer can accurately be described as a legend. Born to a Mi’gmaq mother and father of English/Cornish descent, Willie Dunn and the legacy he left behind are vital threads in the tapestry of Canada’s Indigenous people. Dunn was one of the original pioneers of Aboriginal equality, devoting his entire existence to that pursuit.
