At Off The Rez, our name isn't just a label; it's a testament to our roots and a celebration of Native culture. The phrase "Off The Rez" carries deep meaning within Indigenous communities, signifying a connection to our heritage while venturing beyond the boundaries of the reservation.
2–3 pm | Musical performance by Khu.éex
'Khu.éex’ is an Indigenous band full of creative members, including storytellers, activists, and artists, that bring a collective energy to the stage as one powerful unit. Our focus is raising awareness of social issues stemming from the Native American struggle that branch out to serious issues that affect all people. We are bringing a much-needed Indigenous perspective while keeping our tribal culture and endangered ancient languages alive through music, storytelling, and art. We are members of the Tlingit, Haida, and Blackfoot tribes. Some of us were raised in traditional villages with cultural knowledge and understanding of the protocols of the culture, while some of us were raised among the urban Indigenous community of the Pacific Northwest. No matter where we settle, we are keepers of cultural knowledge and language.
The band explores Jazz and Funk/Rock with an improvisational style. The fusion of these styles with spoken word in English, Tlingit, Haida, and Y’upic languages is unique. We are also striving to preserve these native languages through our music. This cross-fertilization results in a new sound. Performance art, using traditional masks and regalia accent the dynamic live performances.
