"It's not a story of victimization, it's a story of transcendence." So say North Carolina native William Britelle, Grammy-winning composer, of his work on SI OSEDHOA (WE'RE STILL HERE). Commisioned by the North Carolina Symphony and the Eastern Band of the Cherokee, this reel shows performance clips of Britelle with a children's chorus from the Eastern Band of the Cherokee backed by a full orchestra. SI OSEDHOA is a crucial example of work in which Native North Carolinians can "articulate themselves" (Britelle) through song, and not just be an object of discussion by outsiders.
