J. Kehaulani Kauanui interviews with Jennifer Kreisberg live in the studio. She is Hartford-based Tuscarora woman with roots in North Carolina who defines herself as a Mother, Singer, Composer, Producer, Teacher, and Activist. Kreisberg comes from four generations of Seven Singing Sisters through the maternal line, and has been singing since she was young. For the past 18 Years she has toured with the world-renowned trio Ulali, which was formed in 1987. Blending their strong traditional roots with contemporary musical sensibilities, which included southeast choral singing (pre-blues and gospel) and pre-Colombian (before the borders) music, Ulali redefined Native American Music. Kreisberg is now a solo artist who has shared the stage with performers such as Buffy Saint-Marie, Bonnie Raitt, and Jackson Browne. In 2007, she was among a diverse group of independent musicians named as winners of the 7th Annual Independent Music Awards. Additionally, Kreisberg was awarded a Genie (Canadian Oscar), and a NAMMY (Native American Music Award).
