Public Statement

Brad Wells and Caroline Shaw of Roomful of Teeth address criticisms they have received from Inuit artists about their use of katajjaq singing traditions. They acknowledge that they failed to properly credit and compensate their Inuit teachers, quoted an Inuit song without attribution, and performed katajjaq as non-Inuit singers, which disrespected Inuit culture. They commit to immediately crediting their teachers more explicitly, amplifying and supporting Inuit and indigenous artists, reading acknowledgments before concerts, and being more proactive about these issues in the future. They recognize the important work of illuminating these issues should not fall solely on Indigenous communities.
