was a Mi’k maq musician/activist who, at one time in Canada, was considered the most dangerous man with a guitar. His was a life of epic proportions. Legend has it that in the early 1970’s he turned down a recording contract with Columbia Records because they wanted him to set aside his Indian activism. Whats certain is that his refusal to do so resulted in the same kind of blacklisting that many of his contemporaries faced, including Buffy Sainte Marie.  Sadly, in 2013 he passed away one week shy of his 72nd birthday but his music is now more relevant than ever. Even in spirit he remains at the forefront of the fight for the injustices faced at the residential boarding schools. Music from the new compilation- Creation Never Sleeps, Creation Never Dies: The Willie Dunn Anthology. Interview with Lawrence Dunn
