This song and video is not about me (Jah'kota) its about amplifying the rematriation movement! Welcome to the MATRIARCH is a song dedicated to to all of the strong, powerful womxn throughout Turtle Island making change, advocating for Indigenous peoples rights, and those who are on the frontline defending our land and waters. Written by Justin “Jah’kota” Holness is a reflection on the rise of the sacred feminine (Credit: Andrea Menard). Justin “Jah’kota” Holness grew up with three gandmothers (each sisters). One of them taught Nakota language classes at the First Nation University in Regina, the other was part of Chief and Council until her last breath, and the other fought for land back and re-established Ocean Man First Nation in 1990 which became the 1st all female Chief and Council in Canada. His mother did the work of healing so her kids wouldn’t have to.

Video shot and edited: Quest + John Henley Artist: Jah'kota Track: Heal From it Instrumentation: Boogey The Beat Album: The RESURGENCE Guest Appearances: Cleo Big Eagle (Mother) + Kelsey Holness (Sister) This video is a depiction of the life journey towards resilience. We wanted to show the resilience of my mother and the sacrifices she has made to raise her two kids in a healthy home environment. The vest + medallion I am wearing was made my mother Cleo Big Eagle. Two items I honour and wear with pride. The fire is a symbol of what we all carry within us, spirit. The spirit to thrive, survive, and achieve our visions for a better future where the next 7 generations can inherit a better than life our own. It is with my hopes and aspirations this video can provide love and positivity to help lift your spirits as we grow towards achieving our dreams and that we CAN make it, we CAN overcome, and we WILL thrive against the odds. We are the resurgence! With so many things to be thankful for there is still a lot of work that needs to be done because we are still trying to heal from it!

An empowering message of love and truth. Inspiring others to tap into a deeper sense of being. Sharing lessons and lived experience to subconsciously help others be the best version of themselves striving towards balance.
