Jerod Impichchaachaaha’ Tate is a Chickasaw classical composer and pianist.

His compositions are inspired by North American Indian history, culture, and language.

Among many recent premieres, Tate’s highlights include commissions from the New York Philharmonic and Turtle Island Quartet.

On August 15, 2025, the Dover Quartet released their newest album ‘Abokkoli Taloowa’ (Woodland Songs), which features two new suites of music by Jerod Tate in addition to a string quartet by the late 19th, early 20th century Czech composer Antonín Dvo’ák. ‘Abokkoli Taloowa’ (Woodland Songs) contains five movements, each representing a different woodland creature.

Preceding this composition on the album is Tate’s orchestral arrangement of Tuscarora-Taino singer-songwriter Pura Fé’s ‘Rattle Songs’, a piece in seven movements. Pura Fé is one of the founding members of Ulali, an indigenous women’s group of oral musicians who combine native roots and contemporary styles with vocals, stomping, and rattling turtle shells. Jerod Tate is currently at work on a new violin concerto for acclaimed violinist Irina Muresanu, as well as new works for the Oklahoma City Philharmonic and North Carolina Symphony Orchestra.

Felicia Pichette is an indigenous language student and teacher at the Spokane Language House in the state of Washington, in the United States. Its mission is to create a new generation of fluent speakers of Np’oq͗ ínišcn, the Spokane language, which is a dialect of Salish.

In turn, the Salish language is highly endangered and at risk of disappearing.

Only a few years ago, there were just two Elders alive who could speak Np’oq͗ ínišcn fluently.

Spokane Language House started a radical method to address the issue of language loss in the context of a few fluent living Elders.

The school’s goal is to create the space to immerse adult learners in the Np’oq͗ ínišcn language, and for these learners to become mentors who can transmit the language to younger generations.
