For this episode of the Native Hope Podcast, we have our guest host, Vikki Eagle interview two indigenous female musicians, Becki Jones and Channing Concho. In alignment with Vikki’s longterm project, “Ancestors Rez Metal,” she leads the discussion on feminity within the metal scene. Becki Jones, of the Navajo Nation, is a Sex Educator for Planned Parenthood and is the lead vocalist and bass guitar player for the band Weedrat. Becki uses her “femme voice” to “scream” rather than sing about the political issues facing women, queer, and trans individuals. Channing Concho, Laguna Pueblo and Hopi, is the drummer of the all-female trio Suspended. Using the power of their lyrics, she relays the importance of shedding light on colonization to encourage feminine strength and indigenous voice.
