In this episode, you follow the remarkable life and musical journey of Louie Goose, a musician and keeper of Inuvialuit oral tradition who has spent decades preserving his people's stories. Starting with his first "bootleg" guitar at age 8, you trace his path through bands like The Deltanaires and The Mackenzie Delta Band, through house band residencies in Inuvik, and against the backdrop of oil booms, the church, and the military shaping a northern community. This April 2025 conversation picks up where a 2018 interview left off and Part 2 is coming.
