"Black Belt Eagle Scout's Homecoming: A Musical Journey through Swinomish Ancestral Lands"

Indie rock band Black Belt Eagle Scout, led by Katherine Paul, found inspiration for their latest record, "The Land, The Water, The Sky," during the pandemic. Paul's return to her ancestral lands in the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community in Western Washington and her connection to nature influenced the grunge-soaked songs on the album. The band's success has soared this year, with tours in Europe, upcoming shows in Australia, and their music featured on the television series "Reservation Dogs." Black Belt Eagle Scout, the only Native American artist at the recent Pitchfork Music Festival, delivered a powerful performance that fulfilled a long-held dream for Paul. Her music aims to connect with people, particularly Native Americans, and inspire them to engage with her art.
