An anthology of music that was once near-extinct and off-the-grid is now available for all to hear, in what is, without a doubt, Light In The Attic’s most ambitious and historically significant project in the label’s 12-year journey.

Native North America (Vol. 1) features music from the Indigenous peoples of Canada and the northern United States, recorded in the turbulent decades between 1966 to 1985. It represents the fusion of shifting global popular culture and a reawakening of Aboriginal spirituality and expression. The majority of this material has been widely unavailable for decades, hindered by lack of distribution or industry support and by limited mass media coverage, until now. You’ll hear Arctic garage rock from the Nunavik region of northern Quebec, melancholy Yup’ik folk from Alaska, and hushed country blues from the Wagmatcook First Nation reserve in Nova Scotia. You’ll hear echoes of Neil Young, Velvet Underground, Leonard Cohen, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Johnny Cash, and more among the songs, but injected with Native consciousness, storytelling, poetry, history, and ceremony.

The stories behind the music presented on Native North America (Vol. 1) range from standard rock-and-roll dreams to transcendental epiphanies. They have been collected with love and respect by Vancouver-based record archaeologist and curator Kevin “Sipreano” Howes in a 15-year quest to unearth the history that falls between the notes of this unique music. Tirelessly, Howes scoured obscure, remote areas for the original vinyl recordings and the artists who made them, going so far as to send messages in Inuktitut over community radio airwaves in hopes that these lost cultural heroes would resurface.

With cooperation and guidance from the artists, producers, family members, and behind the scenes players, Native North America (Vol. 1) sheds real light on the painful struggles and deep traditions of the greater Indigenous community and the significance of its music. The songs speak of joy and spirituality, but also tell of real tragedy and strife, like that of Algonquin/Mohawk artist Willy Mitchell, whose music career was sparked by a bullet to the head from the gun of a trigger-happy police officer, or those of Inuk singer-songwriter Willie Thrasher, who was robbed of his family and traditional Inuit culture by the residential school system.

Considering the financially motivated destruction of our environment, the conservative political landscape, and corporate bottom-line dominance, it’s bittersweet to report that the revolutionary songs featured on Native North America hold as much meaning today as when they were originally recorded. Dedicated to legendary Mi’kmaq singer-songwriter and poet Willie Dunn, featured on the anthology but who sadly passed away during its making, Native North America (Vol. 1) is only the beginning. A companion set featuring a crucial selection of folk, rock, and country from the United States’ Lower 48 is currently in production.

An anthology of music that was once near-extinct and off-the-grid is now available for all to hear, in what is, without a doubt, our most ambitious and historically significant project in the label’s 12-year journey. With cooperation and guidance from the artists, producers, family members, and behind the scenes players, Native North America sheds real light on the painful struggles and deep traditions of the greater Indigenous community and the significance of its music.

Stylish, comfortable, and very practical
Color: Black, Color: Black
This chair is both cuteand funtional. The wide seat is super comfortable, especially for sitting cross-legged, and the flip-up arms are really convenient. I also like the side pockets for small items. It rolls smoothly, feels sturdy, and was easy to asssemble. Perfect for a home office or vanity setup.

Nice office chair
Color: Beige
I recently purchased this chair for my home office setup. This chair is very comfortable and feels sturdy right out of the box. The seat cushion is thick and supportive, the back provides good support. I really like the flip-up armrests, which make it easy to slide the chair under my desk. Assembly was simple and didn't take long. Overall, it's a solid, well-built chair and a great value for the price.

Seat width short (Not tall people friendly) Very nice otherwise.
Color: Beige
I like the chair a lot. It’s very sleek and modern. One problem I have with it tho is the width of the seat. I am 5’9 and not necessarily a petite woman and when I do sit cross cross I seem to hang off the front. I do like that I can sit cross cross even with the sides of the chair up but the fact that I hang off the front is a bit annoying. There are plenty of other ways to sit on it tho and being able to maneuver it to where I can sit different ways is nice. I would say that this chair isn’t exactly tall people friendly. Also pay attention to the height and width of your desk because it isn’t exactly universal to fit under a normal desk. It is also super easy to put together and instructions are clear. Also as expected the back of the seat is a bit short and personally for me I like that a lot but word of caution for others that want the back of the chair to go up their entire back. I like it shorter because I’m able to sit sideways and have one side of the chair up and the other down and using the back rest as an arm rest. I did just buy it and am slightly concerned for it to not last purely because the manual said not to use it if it squeaked of creaked and it does both of those things. But I will still be using it until it breaks or it’s life span ends. It also seems very easy to clean the crevices are very short and you are able to wipe things out with ease.

Really comfortable upgrade from my old desk chair
Color: Beige
My old desk chair had been getting pretty uncomfortable, so I decided to replace it with this white one. After using it for a few days, I can definitely say it’s been a really nice upgrade for my workspace. My old chair was starting to feel stiff and uncomfortable after sitting for a while. This one is a lot wider and softer, which I really appreciate. Sometimes I sit cross-legged when I’m working on my laptop, and this chair actually has enough space to do that comfortably. The flip-up arms are also really practical. When I’m not using them, I just flip them up and push the chair under my desk. My workspace feels a lot less cramped now. The wheels roll smoothly and the height adjustment was easy to set up. I also didn’t expect to use the side pockets much, but I’ve been keeping a notebook and my tablet there, which is actually pretty convenient. I mainly bought the white color because I wanted something simple for my home office, and it looks really clean in the room. After switching from my old chair, working at my desk has been a lot more comfortable. It’s been great for longer work sessions, and overall I’m really happy I decided to get this one.
