This edition of Making Waves is a replay of an online presentation on February 6, 2021 that included three works by poet and broadcaster Janet Rogers (Mohawk/Tuscarora) - Stereo Ribbons, tsi tkaronhya ke and Sky Woman Falling. The works are connected by indigenous origin and cosmology stories, which as Rogers says are, "important and generational hereditary tales which root us, as Indigenous people, in our identity reaching far beyond any land based migration legends and most certainly lives outside any notion of a land bridge. We know where we come from, and we know to where we will return." The show is introduced by Janet Rogers and afterwards includes a discussion with her about these works and the artistic communities that inform her radio projects.

This monthly program is produced by New Adventures in Sound Art (NAISA). The program features selections from the NAISA archives and is produced by Darren Copeland, NAISA Artistic Director. NAISA is a South River-based Canadian organization that presents performances and installations spanning the entire spectrum of electroacoustic and experimental sound art. The objectives of NAISA are to foster awareness and understanding locally, as well as nationally and internationally, in the cultural vitality of experimental sound art in its myriad forms of expression.
